1. Those who chant are most fortunate

    Those who have taken to this Krsna consciousness, chanting this Hare Krsna mantra, are the most fortunate persons in the world. Yaj-jihvagre nama tubhyam, the sastra says. Aho bata sva-paco ‘to gariyan [SB 3.33.7]: “Even one is born in the family of dog-eaters, but somehow or other, if he takes to this Krsna consciousness movement and chants Hare Krsna, he is gariyan, he is glorious. He is very glorious.” Nama tubhyam. Tepus tapas te [SB 3.33.7]: “It is to be understood in their previous life they undergone severe type of penances and austerities.” Tepus tapas te sasnur aryah: “They are really Aryan.”
