Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO AGTSP

In our recent sankirtana meeting the following question came up:

When the Hare Krishna mantra became the harinama diksha standard? For example, which acharya introduced it in initiation, together with specific number of rounds?

Devotees, me included, talked something about the topic, but nobody knew who, when and how introduced it as a diksha feature.

Please, can you answer?

HpS - Hare Krsna. I also have had that question. I think in Caitanya Bhagavata, Lord Caitanya says that he only eats in the house of a 'lak-pati', someone who chants 100,000 holy names daily. I think that is 64-rounds.

Srila Prabhupada mentions it in NoI, no? He says that he said that anyone who does not chant 64-rounds/day is fallen and then SP says that 16 is the minimum, but we can hope for mercy of Lord Caitany as savior of the fallen.

I don't know more.

Asked Krsna-ksetra Das or others?

Thank you!

YS ND
