В Тике к Стиху 11.5.32 "Шримад-Бхагаватам" Ом ВишнуПад Экнатх-Ачарья делает специальные эмфазы на важности ХариНамы в Кали-Югу.
(345) In Kaliyuga
even the worship done with all articles like milk, ghee honey etc, is not given much importance, but the Lord Shri Krishna likes Keertana more.
even the worship done with all articles like milk, ghee honey etc, is not given much importance, but the Lord Shri Krishna likes Keertana more.
(346) O king, see the wonder of it! The Lord does not like any other worship so much as He likes Keertana in which songs in His praise are sung, and He enjoys these songs very much.
И далее стих 11.5.37
That which a man gains in Kruta Age by meditation, in Treta Age by Yadnyas and the Dwapara Age by worship, he gains all that in the Kali Age by merely singing the songs of praise for the Lord Keshava.(adopted verse-1)
(408) In the Kruta Age the means of devotion include the control of mind and actions as well as thoughts; in Treta sacrifices according to the rules of Vedas is the way; and in the Dwapara the worship according to the technique of Pooja in accordance with Agama, is the prescribed way ofdevotion.
(409) Though in this way people follow the cumbersome methods ofworship in the three ages they do not get mental peace at all.
(410) But the age of Kali has made all these methods less important because in this age the Paramatman can be easily pleased while the devotee sings and dances.
(411) When in the open ground outside the village where cattle are to be gathered or on the sands of river Yamuna the children of cowherds play their rustic games with tremendous joy and sing the names of Shri Hari, the Lord becomes so joyful that He also begins to dance and sing with them.
(412) These boys shout with love the names of Shri Hari in their slang fashion such as Kanhya, Gopal, Kisna, etc., so that Lord Ghanashyama is very much pleased.
(413) By that urge of joy the Lord bubbles with enthusiasm. In this way in the age of Kali the devotees attain emancipation simply by singing devotional songs.
(414) When the Keertanas are repeated and repeated, the heaps of sins are burnt and the devotees are liberated without delay. Thus by the Name ofHari the age of Kali is considered great.
(415) This is the greatness of the age of Kali that by singing the name of Shri Hari, people of all the four castes become liberated without exception as to the women and the low castes.
(416) The Veda was miser because the knowledge of Vedas was limited to the three higher castes of Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas. The Vedas are not allowed to be recited by the women and the low castes.
(417) The singing ofthe name ofHari has removed this defect ofthe Vedas because by the name of Hari women and all the lower caste are liberated.
