Meaning
Oh, Mankind! chant!, chant the glorious name of Hari.
It is the best of all; removes forever the fear of any calamity or death. It is an easy way to assimilate the essence of Vedas and attain immortality.
While it is the sacred prayer - Pavanamantra - to the downtrodden, it is the life-line Jivanatantra to Paramasiva
Why penance? Why oblation? why aspire for glory? why aspire to worldly comforts?
You can chant with devotion even when, in fear, to attain salvation or for a lively hood.
You can chat while bathing, drinking walking resting, singing, and while giving alms.
Meditate the lotus feet of Sripati in your heart while in discomfort or comfort and in all situations.
At the time of death or birth or any ailments, the chanting of Hari Nama will change the chemistry of the body & mind. It is the maxim of the lifeline of eminent ages like Sanka and others.
Chant always the Namas like Sri Rama, Acyuta, Sri Ramana, Narayana, and Padmanabha.
