Praying

I was listening to a lecture by a devotee about chanting Japa the other day. She brought up what I consider to be a great idea for chanting.
Her suggestion was to say a prayer to guru and Krsna before each round or even between each and every bead if you want to.
I have tried this before and it has helped me to better focus my mind attentively on hearing the Holy Names. My mind, when chanting Japa, seems to wonder quite often. I find myself thinking of many things of not so much importance.  So to be brought back to my proper mindset for chanting, was a great experience. I felt more connected with Krsna and guru than I had in a long time. If you are having problems controlling the mind, it might be a good idea to give this a go!

Hare Krsna,

Bhaktin Geri-Lynn
