The Nectarean Ocean of the Holy Name

To praise and chant the holy name of the Lord is the essential practice of all authentic religions, regardless of confession, nationality and culture. The Vedic scriptures especially advocate the chanting of the holy names as the most important process for realizing one's eternal relationship with God. The "Nectarean Ocean of the Holy Name" offers a comprehensive and lucid approach to the philosophy and practice of this chanting process. Based on "The Harināma Cintāmani" of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, it serves similarly as entry, reference and source of absorption. Numerous quotes from the Vedic scriptures complete the detailed philosophical and practical instructions. Śacīnandana Swami, who has been practicing the chanting of the Holy Names of Kṛṣṇa for more than twenty-five years, renders valuable advice from his own experience. Thus, besides the required knowledge, the reader will find a great source of inspiration to taste the nectarean ocean of the holy name himself.
