Chanting 16 rounds every morning and still struggling with anarthas (unwanted material attachments)?
[audio:http://www.prabhupada-books.de/hare-krsna-mantra/Prabhupada-Chanting-Japa.mp3]1) Download Prabhupada_chanting.mp3, (14 MB, right-click, “save target as”)
2) Burn a CD with approx 2-3 hours Prabhupada chanting Japa
[above file does contain approx 30 min chanting].
3) When chanting your rounds turn on your loudspeaker with Prabhupada chanting the Maha-mantra.
This is my loudspeaker (old, but working ok):
“In this age of Kali, Krishna has incarnated in the Form of His Holy Name; through the chanting of the Holy Name, the whole world is delivered.”
[Sri Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Adi-lila 17.22]
“O my beloved, you have no need to chant the prayers of such scriptures as the Rg-, Yajur-, and Sama-Vedas. You need only chant the Holy Names of the Lord like Govinda, so please sing those Names always.”
[Skanda-Purana]
The Holy Name is superior even to all the Holy Places:
“Chanting the Holy Name of Lord Vishnu awards one the fruit of serving billions of Holy Places of pilgrimage.”
[Vamana-Purana]
“To chant the Holy Name is the direct instruction of the Lord.
The Lord said, “I have told you this Maha-mantra, so everyone now chant it in proper measure. By doing this, you will attain success in all respects. There is no other rule but to chant it at every moment.””
[Sri Chaitanya-Bhagavata, Madhya 23.77-78]
“Whether resting, eating, or waking – day and night think of Krishna and call His Name aloud.”
[Sri Chaitanya-Bhagavata, Madhya 28.28]
“Offencelessly go on taking the Holy Name of Krishna; Krishna is
mother, Krishna is father, Krishna is our treasure, our life and soul.”
[Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur]
Srila Haridas Thakura: “At twilight, the dispelling of darkness begins before the sun has risen. The fear of thieves, ghosts and evil forces is also dispelled; and when the sun has fully risen the nature and movement of things becomes revealed. Similarly, with the initial or twilight appearance of the Holy Name, our sins and obstacles are dispelled; and when the sun of the Holy Name rises fully, love for the divine lotus feet of the Lord awakens within the heart.”
“As deer flee in fear of the roar of the lion, all sins immediately flee from one who chants the Holy Name, even by chance.”
[Garuda-Purana]
“The slightest glimmer of the twilight Name is infinitely greater than all pious activities – making a gift of ten million cows on a solar eclipse, residing for a millenium at holy places, like Prayaga, where the sacred Ganges flows, performing ten thousand sacrifices and giving away a mountain of gold – hundreds of such pious activities can ever equal the slightest attempt to sing the Holy Name of the Supreme Lord, Govinda.”
[Skanda-Purana]
“Even a person who is stumbling and falling, afflicted on the brink of death and helplessly passing away from the world – he somehow takes the Holy Name of the Lord he is liberated from the bondage of karma and attains to the supreme destination. Alas! The fools of Kali-yuga have no desire to worship that Supreme Lord.”
[Srimad-Bhagavatam]
