Reciting Shree Radha Krishna’s names and singing the
glories of their forms, pastimes, qualities and abode is known as sankirtan.
The Ramayan says:
ehī kali kāla na sādhana dūjā
joga na japa tapa vrata makha puja
kaliyuga kevala nāma adhārā
sumiri sumiri nara utarahiṅ pārā
“There is no other method in Kaliyug. Neither yoga, nor austerity, nor yagya, nor worship will take you to your
goal. Just sing the glories of God,
engage your mind in roopdhyan (loving
remembrance) and listen to his glories from the Saints. This is the only means in Kaliyug to attain
one’s ultimate goal."
