taking shelter of Holy Name

Faith that the Holy Name will protect me, and taking shelter NOW rather than waiting for calamity is not so easy. The sound of Krishna's Name is all powerful. And I must take shelter NOW. If I am not able to take shelter, then like all those whom I know who succumbed to Maya's plan for hijacking their bhakti, I will fail. I cannot control my tongue in daily life. I will certainly fail to control other senses in times of temptation and desperation. Maya will do the needful and Haranti Prasabham Manah, the senses will pull by force and engage me in sin. This is happening to everyone. Against their desire, they are sinning and implicated. Unless they take shelter, they cannot protect themselves. Draupadi could not protect herself. Nor could Ahilya. Nor could anyone else in history nor will anyone be able to in the future. ONLY KRISHNA CAN GIVE PROTECTION FROM MAYA, His all powerful energy. She is adept, and the infinitesimal jiva, conditioned and bewildered, has no chance or hope to stand before her and face her challenges without grace and help from Krishna.
