Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Below we have 4 cut and paste quotes- the first two explain how the
Vishnu Dutas, servants of Lord Vishnu are everywhere, all over, in each
universe, waiting to serve the devotees of the Lord.
The last two explain the nature of chanting Hare Krsna maha mantra.
Srila Prabhupada kindly explains how this chanting puts us directly
in touch with the Lord and we will see Him by this chanting.
But this realization requires "advanced knowledge", and when one
actually has this "advanced knowledge" he is qualified to become
guru---and who has this, "advanced knowledge", at present??
Well, we know one person , for sure.......

So he was calling his son, Narayana. So the parsadah,
visnu-parsadah--parsadah means associates [Vishnu dutas] or attendants--they
immediately came. Just like in your city, the police is wandering in
the car, and if somebody calls for police, immediately he is present,
similarly, the attendants of Lord Visnu,[Vishnu dutas] they are also wandering
throughout the universe and searching out somebody who is engaged in
chanting the holy name of the Lord. So if you chant holy name of the
Lord, they are very much pleased and they immediately come. That
happened to Ajamila.

So this is the benefit of chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra. Both the
order carriers of Yamaraja and order carriers of Lord Visnu, they're
everywhere, just like the police is everywhere. But as soon as you
call them, from the police's station they immediately inform the
patrol police on the car, immediately he comes. If there is such
material arrangement within the government, how much nice arrangement
is there in the supreme government?

So we have to practice this, that Hare Krsna maha-mantra. If we
practice, there is chance at the time of death repeating the same
thing, Hare Krsna maha-mantra. So immediately you are saved, not to go
to the yama-mandira. The powerful name, holy name is as good as the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no difference--absolute.
Absolute means... Just like here if I simply chant "mango, mango,
mango," there is no mango. Mango is different from the name mango. If
I want to eat mango, the substance mango I must have. So there is
difference between the name and its substance. That is
material--duality. But in the absolute world there is..., means
there's no duality. The name mango and mango: the same. This requires
advanced knowledge. So there is no difference between Krsna the name
and Krsna the person. There is no difference.

TLC 18 The Conversations with Prakasananda
When the transcendental name is worshiped by the devotee, the name
Himself spreads His glories within the heart of a devotee. When a
devotee is perfectly qualified in chanting the transcendental
vibration of the holy name, he is quite fit to become a spiritual
master and to deliver all the people of the world. The chanting of the
holy name is so powerful that it gradually establishes its supremacy
above everything in the world. The devotee who chants it becomes
transcendentally situated in ecstasy and sometimes laughs, cries and
dances in his ecstasy. .. As a result, everyone becomes initiated in the chanting of
the holy names--Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

suggested you read Caitanya Bhagavat , Caitanya Caritamrta, Caitanya mangala, etc....
