In KALIYUG,SANKIRTANA,or chanting of the divine name,has been prescribed as the only means to attain GOD.Even if we do accept that there are other spiritual practices to attain GOD,it would not be wise to practise those various difficult processes as SANKIRTANA is the easiest process to take us to our goal. However,the most important part of sankirtana is RUPHDHYANA,loving rememberance .Without ruphdhyana,sankirtana is like a body without a soul.KALI YUGA is a dreadful age in which the sinful tendencies of an individual combined with the external environment cause man's SPIRITUAL DOWNFALL.The only way to be free from this is to sing the glories of SHREE RADHA KRISHNA'S names,forms and pastimes,along with practising RUPHDHYANA and shedding tears of longing for THEIR DIVINE VISION AND DIVINE LOVE.If a sadhaka does'nt practise ruphdhyana while engaged in sankirtana,he will eventually doubt even the words of the scriptures because he will think that even after practising sankirtana for a long time his SINFUL TENDENCIES have not been eliminated.Therefore,we can benefit from sankirtana only when we give full importance to ruphdhyana.
