In today’s times the most effective way of progressing spiritually is chanting the Name of God according to the religion of our birth. We are born in that very religion which is most conducive to begin our spiritual practice. This forms the basic foundation for spiritual practice. Repeating the Name of God according to the religion of our birth also enables us to overcome destiny. In fact, spiritual practice helps us both in this world and the world after we die.
