Motivation For Chanting

I can say that there are many kinds of motivations to become better in our chanting. I myself look for it in many sources like association of devotees who are also interested in improving, listening to lectures concerning japa, reading Srila Prabhupada lectures, remembering my vows with my gurudev, and many others.

This week I went to a site where a devotee talked about his daily japa, he wanted to have all his rounds chanted by 6 am...by reading his experiences I felt enthused because this is also what I am trying to do sometimes - with his example I got strengh to apply this to my chanting.

Another thing that made me more aware of my chanting this week was the post I read here in the Japa Group where the devotee compares chanting in the morning (during brahma muhurta time) as sweet as a gulab jamun.

I thought "Wow this sweet is one of my favourites and I do want to  feel this taste while chanting...the taste of a sweet preparation, the taste of love for Krsna".

In the beginning we know it's very hard to get it but our motivation may drive us towards the best quality chanting. I can't forget to mention that having my son back home from Mayapur gurukul also enthuses me, seeing him chanting with my brother early in the morning wearing tilaka then making bhajans around the house. Wow, this is really amazing!
May our Lord always lead us to the right sources of motivation so we never stop our chanting efforts.

Hare Krsna
