4 Ways to Avoid Inattention

Here are 4 ways that I discovered can be helpful for attentive chanting:

1. Listen very carefully to the sound coming out your mouth...by hearing we can control the wandering mind
2. Pronounce each word very clearly (even if it means slowing down your chanting)
3. Don't do anything whilst chanting Japa
4. Read the Mantra whilst you chant (in Temples this was a common addition to the Temple room...the Maha Mantra on the wall)..I personally found this a very effective way to keep the mind from wandering.

We all have to pray to Krsna and the Spiritual Master to help us chant attentively...
