To impart his teachings that ashtakshar mantra should be repeated unceasingly,
Shri Maha Prabhuji has written in the text Navratna:
“Tasmatsarvhatmana nityam, Shri Krishna sharanam mama,
Vaddbhirave sattham, sathymityav ma mathi.”
Meaning: Shri Maha Prabhuji declares 'it is my view
point that one should perpetually, with every bhava, repeat ashtakshar
mantra and associate with those devotees who do so'. Shri Maha Prabhuji's
main teaching is that ashtakshar mantra should be repeated with every
bhava (Sarvatma Bhava) and unceasingly.
Sri Gosaiji writes:
“Yadhuktam thatcharano Shri Krishna sharanam mama,
Aathah avasthi neschi-maihikay par lokikay.”
Meaning: From the time of my father Shri Maha Prabhuji
manifested Shri Krishna Sharanam Mama, we have been freed from all worries
concerning any undertaking of this world or the transcendent sphere.
In Shiksha Patra Shri Hariraiji states:
“Aasmakam sadhanm sadiyam, Shri Krishan sharanam mama,
Sampatsavapatsavepi sadha savachariyacharanodhitam.”
Meaning: In favorable times and in adversity, 'Shri Krishna Sharanam Mama' manifested by Shri Mahaprabhuji, is both the means and the fruit. In this way many great scholars and Goswami Acharyas have described the profound significance of ashtakshar mantra, shedding light so that daivi souls may attain liberation.
