Japa Diary
Our humble obeisances - Jaya Srila Prabhupada.��This is from the recent kartika diary of one of our sadhus - I think he likes to stay anonymous...
To chant with affection one must be conscious that chanting should be done not��only in the mood of purification for oneself, but also done for the pleasure of��Krishna. We must thus make our chanting sound as sweet and heartfelt aspossible for His delight.

The chanter of the holy name should always be connected to the name by��remaining mindful of what he is doing. We can remain connected by thinking of��the relevance of the name ��� that it will clean the heart and extinguish the��fire of material existence. We can remain connected by thinking of the meaning��of the name ��� a call for service. We can remain connected by relationship with��the name ��� loving the holy name. At least we can remain connected by being��humbled before the name ��� lamenting our lack of attraction for the holy name.
