Importance of the Holy names of the Supreme Lord.....

Vishnudutas Rescuing Ajamila from the Yamadutas

(SB CANTO 6th)

 As per Srimad Bhagavatam, Ajamila was a sincere Brahmana initially. But had an unexpected fall down in his spiritual life due to carried away by the strong senses (daivi hi esha gunamayi mama maya duratyaya - BG).

But due to Krishna's causeless mercy, late in his old age sadhus came to his home and told his wife to name their new born 10th child as "Narayana". This was the causeless mercy of Krishna and the Vaishnavas who came to his home. By obeying to that only one order of the Vaishnavas (i.e. by keeping his sons name as Narayana) he was engaged in chanting the Lords holy name and finally he had the darshans of Vishnudutas on the verge of his death due to chanting of the most powerful holy name of Narayana. Even though he was calling his son "Narayana" but still he got the eternal benefit of associating with Vishnudutas and also was taken back to godhead in due course of time.

Srila Shukadeva Goswami explained this immense power of the holy names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna to Parikshit Maharaja.

Why not we take the benefit of holy names of Lord?

सांकेत्यं पारिहास्यम् वा स्तोभं हेलनमेव वा ।

वैकुण्ठनामग्रहणमशेषाघहरं विदुः  ॥

One who chants the holy name of the Lord is immediately freed from the reactions of unlimited sins, even if he chants indirectly [to indicate something else], jokingly, for musical entertainment, or even neglectfully. This is accepted by all the learned scholars of the scriptures.
