Sri Chaitanya, the founder of Bengali Vaishnavism, has himself composed a few verses singing the glory of the Name which forms a cardinal doctrine of his system. In the first verse of his Sikshastaka, he speaks about the nature of Name and the efficacy of its repetition: _Chant the name of the Lord and His Glory unceasingly,_ _That the mirror of the heart may be wiped clean,_ _And quench that mighty forest fire,_ _Worldly lust, raging furiously within._ _Oh Name, stream down in moonlight on the lotus heart,_ _Opening its cup to knowledge of Thyself._ _Oh self, drown deep in the waves of His bliss,_ _Chanting His Name continually,_ _Tasting His nectar at every step,_ _Bathing in His Name, that bath for weary souls._ He also says that the Lord's Name is to be always sung by one who is humbler than even a blade of grass, with more endurance than that of a tree and who, being himself devoid of conceit, bestows honour on others. *Source:* The Five Commandments of Shri Ramakrishna by Swami Dayatmananda Today is Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's birth anniversary as per the Gregorian Calendar.
