Namaḥ. Namaḥ means surrender. Namaḥ om namaḥ, this is the way of chanting Vedic mantra. Oṁ means addressing the Absolute, and namaḥ means &quot;I am surrendering.&quot; Every Vedic mantra is begun om namaḥ. Oṁ means addressing. So this mantra is chanted with surrender, namaḥ. Nothing can be done without surrender because our, this conditional life is rebellious life. We have rebelled against the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead. That is conditioned life. There are so many theses to support this rebellious condition. Somebody is thinking that &quot;I am one with God&quot;; somebody is thinking, &quot;God is dead&quot;; somebody is thinking, &quot;There is no God&quot;; somebody is thinking, &quot;Why you are searching God? There are so many Gods loitering in the street.&quot; So in this way many theses are there. All of them are different symptoms of rebellious condition. The sum and substance... Just like atheists, they are boldly saying, &quot;There is no God.&quot; Now..., but the impersonalists saying, &quot;There may be God, but He has no head, He has no tail. That&#039;s all.&quot; So in this way our condition is rebellious condition. Therefore Bhagavad-gītā instructs that &quot;You surrender.&quot; Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). So without surrender, there is no question of making any spiritual progress. Just like a person who has rebelled against the government—the first condition is to surrender; otherwise there is no question of mercy from the government. Similarly anyone, the living entity, any one of us who has rebelled against the supremacy of the Lord, the beginning of spiritual life is surrender.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Now the purport of this mantra I have several times explained, again explaining.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This om means addressing the Lord. In the all the Vedic mantras they are addressing. Our this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, mahā-mantra, that is also addressing. Hare, Hare, addressing the energy of the Lord, Harā. The energy is Harā, Rādhā, Sītā.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 2.1.1 -- Los Angeles, July 1, 1970|Lecture on SB 2.1.1 -- Los Angeles, July 1, 1970]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Gargamuni: Purport. &amp;quot;Vāsudevāya means to Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vasudeva. As by chanting the name of Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, one can achieve all the good results of charity, austerity, and penances, so by the chanting of this mantra, oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya, it is to be understood that the author or the speaker or any one of the readers of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam offer respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, the reservoir of all pleasure. In the First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the principles of creation are described, and as such the First Canto can be called &amp;#039;Creation.&amp;#039; &amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: So this om means addressing the Lord. In the all the Vedic mantras they are addressing. Our this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, mahā-mantra, that is also addressing. Hare, Hare, addressing the energy of the Lord, Harā. The energy is Harā, Rādhā, Sītā. So when a female is addressed, it is like that: Hare, Late, Sīte, Rādhe. So Hare means addressing first, first of all the energy. The impersonalists, they do not know this, this addressing first of all Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s energy. We Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas, we don&amp;#039;t worship Kṛṣṇa alone, ekala-vāsudeva. No. We must worship Kṛṣṇa along with His energy. Just like Kṛṣṇārjuna, Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna. Arjuna is also energy, living entity, and Kṛṣṇa, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, His internal energy, and marginal energy. So Kṛṣṇa means with His energy. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. This bhagavate means full of energies. I have several times explained bhagavān. Bhaga means opulence, and vān means one who possesses. Bhagavān. That is the meaning of word bhagavān. So when this bhagavān word is addressed, it is addressed as bhagavate. The word is bhagavat, bhagavat-śabda. Of course, these are grammatical arrangement. Vat, this affix, is there when it is meant... Sanskrit, every word, every syllable, has got meaning. That is Sanskrit language. It is not like that &amp;quot;beauty but, (?) beauty put.&amp;quot; No. If you say &amp;quot;beauty but,&amp;quot; then you must say &amp;quot;peauty put.&amp;quot; But in English, &amp;quot;beauty but, peauty put.&amp;quot; So in Sanskrit language, you cannot do like that. If you have to follow the rules, then the same rule will go on. So bhagavate address, oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Vāsudevāya. This is the form of, fourth form of, śabda, sound vibration, fourth form. Just like kṛṣṇāya. When I offer something, kṛṣṇāya, viṣṇave. Similarly, bhagavate, vāsudevāya.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Keep there.&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;nama apavitraḥ pavitra vā&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;sarvāvasthāṁ gato &amp;#039;pi vā&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;sa bahyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;dd&amp;gt;Do it again. (repeats mantra again)&amp;lt;/dd&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Now the purport of this mantra I have several times explained, again explaining. Namaḥ. Namaḥ means surrender. Namaḥ om namaḥ, this is the way of chanting Vedic mantra. Oṁ means addressing the Absolute, and namaḥ means &amp;quot;I am surrendering.&amp;quot; Every Vedic mantra is begun om namaḥ. Oṁ means addressing. So this mantra is chanted with surrender, namaḥ. Nothing can be done without surrender because our, this conditional life is rebellious life. We have rebelled against the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead. That is conditioned life. There are so many theses to support this rebellious condition. Somebody is thinking that &amp;quot;I am one with God&amp;quot;; somebody is thinking, &amp;quot;God is dead&amp;quot;; somebody is thinking, &amp;quot;There is no God&amp;quot;; somebody is thinking, &amp;quot;Why you are searching God? There are so many Gods loitering in the street.&amp;quot; So in this way many theses are there. All of them are different symptoms of rebellious condition. The sum and substance... Just like atheists, they are boldly saying, &amp;quot;There is no God.&amp;quot; Now..., but the impersonalists saying, &amp;quot;There may be God, but He has no head, He has no tail. That&amp;#039;s all.&amp;quot; So in this way our condition is rebellious condition. Therefore Bhagavad-gītā instructs that &amp;quot;You surrender.&amp;quot; Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). So without surrender, there is no question of making any spiritual progress. Just like a person who has rebelled against the government—the first condition is to surrender; otherwise there is no question of mercy from the government. Similarly anyone, the living entity, any one of us who has rebelled against the supremacy of the Lord, the beginning of spiritual life is surrender.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Chandobhai: That is oṁ in that way.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
