Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; November 13, 2022: Careful Chanting of Sri Krishna's Merciful Name

Questions on today’s Swami call:Is it good to encourage children to chant japa, or is it better for them to wait until they are mature enough to understand the deeper meaning of the practice?Who was it that first said there are no hard and fast rules to chanting the holy names of Sri Krishna?The statements about the holy name speaking of its extraordinary power, as shown by the transformation of persons like Valmiki and Ajamila, seem contradictory to the warnings about the ten offenses, etc. There seems to be mixed messages. Can you comment on this?What did Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura mean when he said we can find sakhya-rasa in Christianity?When Christians say “Holy Father”, could this be seen as a reversed form of vatsalya-rasa?A nondualist asked me for advice on spiritual practice. He is not interested in a personal manifestation of divinity yet. Is there something you think I can tell him to create a bridge from nondualism to personalism?How can someone be influenced by bhakti if they haven’t first gone through the paths of karma and jnana?
