Faith in The Process

This weekend in the Japa Room I got some nectar from the sessions. Every weekend I identify with a topic, this time I liked it when I heard that Krsna likes His names pronounced in the right way - I mean nobody likes to have the name mispronounced. I know this because I work with people and I have to remember many names...it's difficult and I can imagine how we and the person feels when the name is pronounced differently.
So what to speak of the Lord, for sure we can't compare Him with an ordinary person, but we can say that He would be very happy if we pay attention to our chanting in such a way that we always pronounce the words properly.
The result will be that we will be more attentive and avoid our mind wandering so much and then we would feel the bliss coming from the Lord reciprocating with our efforts towards Him.
Today it may been hard for everyone to chant quality Japa because there must be many festivals around the temples and we sometimes concentrate on many others ways to serve the Lord like cooking, worshiping, singing, harinams etc.
If we can think of how the Lord may be pleased if we call out His names with respect...pronouncing every word distinctly like Srila Prabhupada always said....we may feel the results in our lives.
Today came it to my mind how our founder Acharya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada started the 108 temples of ISKCON just by sitting in a park and taking his kartals and singing the maha mantra. Such was his faith on this process that he depended on the Lord by chanting. We can see that everything starts with chanting and it will finish with that also.
