Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Pure Bhakti: Bhajana-rahasya - 2nd Edition

Nāmāparādha (नामापराध) refers to:—Offensive chanting of the holy name. Chanting of the holy name that is not accompanied by the attempt to give up sinful and offensive behaviour in one’s life. (cf. Glossary page from Bhajana-Rahasya).

Source: Pure Bhakti: Arcana-dipika - 3rd Edition

Nāmaparādha (नामपराध) refers to “offences to the holy name” and represents one of the two types of Aparādha (“offences”), according to the Arcana-dīpikā (manual on deity worship).—Practitioners on the path of bhakti, especially those engaged in the worship of the deity, should become completely free from sevā-aparādha (offences committed while serving the deity) and nāma-aparādha (offences to the holy name). they should remain extremely careful at all times to not commit these offences.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
