to remove the accumulated sins of men." "Hari's name,
the name, and name only is my life; in Kaliyuga, there is
no other means, no, certainly, no." "A person becomes
free from sins by praising (the names) of Vasudeva, the
Omnipresent; by daily worshipping Him, all sins are
destroyed." "They in whose hearts resides Hari, the
fountain of all good, never meet with evil at any time, in
any of their undertakings." "Centred in yoga, one should
daily meditate upon the Divine Janardana; this I consider
to be the most powerful talisman; for, who would dare to
harm the followers of Achyuta?" "Directing one's
thoughts to Hari, removes as much sin as is washed by
thousands of baths in the Ganga and millions of baths in
Pushkara." "If one attains the accomplishment of his
wishes by concentrating his thoughts for one Muhurta
(3 Indian hours) on the undecaying Narayana, what to
say of one who is ever devoted to Him!" (Vish. Pr., 2-6,
says): "The remembrance of Krishna is far better than
any such expiatory acts as religious austerities or the like."
(6-8.) "The stain of Kali age, which insures to men
sharp punishment in hell, is at once effaced by a single
invocation of Hari." "Govinda, if remembered once,
quickly destroys the sins of men, accumulated in hundreds
of births, as fire burns up cotton." (Ibid., Pr., 6-7, says) :
"Just as the blazing fire, with the wind, burns dry grass,
so Vishnu seated in the heart consumes the sins of the
sages." If one Muhûrta is allowed to pass by without
meditation (upon Hari), one must weep loud as if he was
robbed by thieves." "O great sage, man, by always re-
membering Janardana, the Lord of beings, the World-
teacher, destroys all his sins, and accomplishes whatever
he wants." "Thus meditating with concentrated mind
upon Madhusudana, one crosses the ocean of Samsara,
teeming with such alligators as birth, death and old age."
"Even in this sinful Kaliyuga, a worldly man, though
guilty of all sins, becomes pure by meditating upon
VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
