Prabhupada, Melbourne, May 19, 1975: […] Chant the name of, holy name of God. Then what will happen? Ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12] Your, if you chant the holy name of God, then your heart which is considered to be mirror… Just like you see your face on the mirror, similarly, you can see your position on the mirror of the heart, core of the heart. You can see. That is called meditation. So at the present moment our heart is covered with the dust of material conception. “I am Indian,” “I am American,” “I am this,” “I am that,” “I am that.” This is all dust. You have to cleanse this. Just like on the mirror if there is a layer of dust you cleanse it. Then you see your real face.
So Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, ceto-darpana-marjanam: “By chanting the holy name of the Lord, you will gradually cleanse the dust which is covering the core of your heart.” Very simple thing. Go on chanting. And then what will be the position? Bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam: “This blazing fire of anxieties of material existence will be over immediately.” Simply by this method, chanting. If you have got any name, if you have got objection to chant Hare Krsna, so whatever name of God you know, you chant. This is our movement. We don’t say that you have to… But this is accepted by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that harer nama [Adi 17.21]. So if you have no objection, you can chant Hare Krsna. And if you think that “The Hare Krsna is imported from India. We shall not chant,” all right, you chant your own God’s name. Where is the objection? But chant the name of, holy name of God. That is our propaganda. Full Lecture
