Join Swami Padmanabha and friends as they weave the last line of the third verse of Siksastakam, "kirtaniya sada hari," into the context of the first three lines:

"Be as humble as the quiet grass,
as enduring as the ancient tree.
Seek not the praise of man but honor every soul you see.
With this heart, sing the name of Hari."

Exploring the profound opportunity of chanting Krishna's name, the discussion focused on one’s attitude and intention while chanting. Simply repeating the letter sounds without the right mindset doesn’t truly connect us with Krishna. The quality of our attitude shapes the efficacy of our chanting, and unhealthy habits, like multitasking during japa, only deepen the disconnect.

Sri Nama is compared to both a lion of fierce mercy, and a thief whose sole desire is to steal our hearts with his sweetness capable of expertly navigating the barriers we erect around our hearts. Krishna's humility is such that when we finally reciprocate his love, he feels indebted to us, grateful for our arrival.

This discussion brings us to a deeper understanding of Krishna's love and how it humbles us. His divine nature is not one of demanding respect but of gently drawing us into love with him and all that is connected to him.

We are invited to live our life according to the principles describe in the third verse of Śikṣāṣṭakam and embrace the golden opportunity given by Gauranga, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the golden Lord.
