Re: Offender chanting Hare Krishna

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

I was chanting minimum 16-16-64 and other days 64-64-64. And I learnt one thing - we can mechanically dry chant till the cows come home

I have free days, so I would chant all day, and give katha in computer environment and then finish about 10pm.  Chanting at maybe two hour intervals. There was very minimal feeling, but it was not fruitless. There were many lessons learnt. There is no loss at any attempt at devotional service.

Now I chant minimum 64-64 (and then as many Maha-mantras as I can do with no set quota). And eventually I will build the Maha-mantras gradually. The jaap is deeply satisfying to my soul. I have strong faith in these two Holy Names.

It is essential to do my Nityananda Gauranga Mantrarajas everyday (64 of each), in due course they will purify me to be able to increase with feeling. Slow and steady win the race.
