Home Sweet Home
The previous post was very inspiring...just a small comment that although I am very fond of travelling, my home temple is my favourite place for japa. I am a bit neurotic about hearing unnecessary sounds during japa, and I easily get carried away by sounds of a fan or even by devotees loudly pacing back and forth. Large number of devotees chanting together is inspiring, but there is also special nectar when there are just a few serious chanters in a same temple room.
Of course it is one of the tricks of the mind that you think that you have to get somewhere else to chant nicely. There is some external disturbance everywhere - in Mayapur it maybe too hot or too many insects, in another temple too many sounds of traffic, in the Himalayas it is too cold and windy etc.
