| <p>Prabhupāda: This is also Purāṇa says. Especially it is harer nāma ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]), not gupta. That is in the Kali-yuga it should be openly chanted and we have to follow our predecessor, Haridāsa Ṭhākura, nāmācārya.</p>

| | Prabhupāda: Yes. In devotees' association everyone is blessed. ''Satāṁ prasaṅgāt mama virya saṁvido'' ([[Vanisource:SB 3.25.25|SB 3.25.25]]). There is some enlightenment. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: (break) When we chant, when we utter the bīja mantra</p>

| <p>that we utter loudly. That is required. That is japa. So this mantra is mahāmantra and it should be chanted loudly, or as you like. There is no such restriction. Niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ.

| | Guest: May I sing one ''bhajana''? |
| <p>Guest: (indistinct)</p>

| <p>Prabhupāda: Our process is very easy. We have to see whether my Guru Mahārāja, his Guru Mahārāja has followed this. Then there will be no more doubt. Evaṁ paramparā-prāptam ([[Vanisource:BG 4.2|BG 4.2]]). We receive things by paramparā system. Mahājano yena gataḥ. Sādhu mārgānu-gamanam. We have to follow the footsteps of sādhu.</p>
