Singing Bricks and Stones

Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das

The following anecdote shows the inconceivable power of suddha-nama chanted by a pure devotee of Kṛṣṇa: “Once a devotee went to do his chanting where Gaura Kisora dasa Babaji did his in the outhouse of the Rani’s dharmasala. He perceived that the bricks and stones were singing Kṛṣṇa’s name. Seeing that by the power of Babaji’s chanting the name of Kṛṣṇa, consciousness (caitanya) had been infused even into unconscious objects, he left in amazement.” (Prabhupada Sarasvati Thakura p. 52)
