All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to you, dear Maharaja

Dear  Maharaja, I hope you are in good health, I am writing to give my report,  about 2 months since I write, but really I feel good about you through your instructions. I feel my Sadhana and rounds have improved greatly.

Unfortunately for me this past week, I could not connect  to the Japa-Joe, my health failed  and I had to take care of this body with more emphasis, I had to start with my japa at 5:00,then Sri Gurua stakam, 16 rounds, and this week we were reading  Sri Harinama  Cintamani. We  also make  regular evening program.

Dear  Maharaja,  I wanted to ask, What  is  the appropriate rate  to chant  the Maha mantra?  I  listened to my  brothers  sing it  slowly, others  a  little  faster. I saw that  you mentioned  in your comments "A Fine  chant"  sometimes "A Strong   chant" or"Sing Like  the elephant  walk"...  What is the appropriate rate?  Is that  I chant  out  loud  and a little  fast because if not my  mind  leads me  to  another site... and a dear Maharaja more question, how can we do to participate in the classes of Krishna Book?

Maharaja, please accept my obeisance´s and please excuse my offenses, thanks in advance your kind attention.

Your  aspiring  servant

HpS - Jaya.   AGTSP   Pamho.    If you are trying like you are trying, the EVERYTHING, that happens to you is Krsna's mercy.  Then you just have to understand why disease or other things come.  There is a reason for everything.

I've heard that Srila Prabhupada said, but not directly from Prabhupada that the Maha-mantra should chanted no less than five and no more than 10 minutes/round.   Like you say, smartavya sata tam visnor, vismarta....   we should chant fast enough or slow enough, sitting or walking, so we can remember Krsna...

I think that all you have to do join the KRSNA book class on Sunday is to go to asa-forum.webex.com   select that class and then if it asks for a password it should be       krsna      .    It is 3.30PM Central Standard Time, Chicago time.   This week is Balarama Returns to Vrndavana!!!
