From Harinama Cintamani - Anuraga
I was reading in the Harinama Cintamani today about Anuraga (spontaneous attraction for the Lord's name):
"It is essential to give special attention to chanting while Anuraga is undeveloped. By a special stroke of good fortune, a jiva develops enough sraddha to take shelter of the Holy name. By regularly chanting a fixed number of holy names with special care and attention he may, by degrees, progress to anuraga, or spontaneous attraction for the Lord's name. He should chant his prescribed number of rounds on a tulasimala and increase his rounds with time. Before he reaches the stage of anuraga, he must be very cautious about offenses in chanting."
