Re: Offender chanting Hare Krishna

Dear Nava Prabhu,

Nityananda ! Gauranga ! Hare Krishna !

In your previous posts you said that steadiness comes afer we burn our offenses. Since I have just begun chanting this point is very interesting to me. However I feel that if we are unsteady then how will we burn our offenses and if we don't burn our offenses then how will be steady. If this is the case how will we ever be able to progress in bhakti.

I think unsteadiness could be of two types. One in terms of number of rounds we chant in a day and another in terms of time that we choose to chant during the day. For example if a person is chanting 10 rounds then the next day he will chant 9 next day he might not chant then next he might do 10 again. Another unsteadiness could be in terms of time. One day a person chants very early in the morning, next day he chants very late in the night, another day his concentration is so bad it takes him the whole day to just chant a few rounds because of the pain caused during chanting. I request you to explain in detail about the future of a person who is a victim of both the types of unsteadiness and about a person is a victim of either one of them. I request you to explain in more detail especially about a person who is unsteady in time though he is chanting a fixed number of rounds daily.

My greatest doubt is if we are unsteady then do our offenses burn in totality and if they don't then without burning our offenses how will we ever become steady ?

Sorry for asking so many questions in a day but after tomorrow I might not be able to participate here much for the next 3 months.

Sincerely,
Mihir.
