Living in the present
Continuity in chanting the Name of God
Purification of the environment

Aspect of chanting and its importance in percentages :

Just chanting the name of god is - 10% important

Chanting combined with one’s breath is - 30% important

Experiencing the fruits of our chanting is - 70% important

Experiencing just one’s presence and of oneself being separate from God is - 90% important

Experiencing of being one with God is - 100% important.

Naam Smaran

The world becomes delighted on hearing the kirtana of Lord's name and fame.

One who chants sri-hari-nama is worshipable in the world.Chanting hari-nama destroys prarabdha-karma (the results of past pious or impious activity which is now bearing fruit).

Hari-nama can yield all kinds of benefits. One who hears sri-hari-nama becomes liberated from hell.

Hari-nama-kirtana is more glorious and beneficial than studying the Vedas. Performing hari-nama is better than visiting all tirthas
- Skanda Purana

Sri-hari-nama is the only method for those who have no way.

Sri-visnu-smaranam destroys all sins but is attained only after much endevor. Visnu-kirtana, however, is superior because the same benefit is attained simply by vibrating sri-nama upon one’s lips.

Simply performing kirtana of Sri Hari’s Nama in Kali-yuga gives the same results as those that are achieved by meditating on Bhagavan in Satya-yuga, by worshiping Him with great yajnas in Treta-yuga, and by performing formal Deity worship in Dvapara-yuga.
