# The art of remembering Kṛṣṇa
> [!summary]
> *Remembrance of Kṛṣṇa (smaraṇa) is one of the nine processes of devotional service and is considered extremely powerful. At the time of death, one who remembers Kṛṣṇa attains His abode. The practice of constantly remembering the Lord throughout life ensures that one will remember Him at the crucial moment of death. This remembrance is cultivated through hearing, chanting, and serving the Lord.*
