Hare Krsna master in the service of Parampara


As we have capacity too in a mental world, I need your permission to train our mind to chant the mantra without moving our Jaw.


I realize till now, we are just using our Jaw, but were not training our mind to hear it. Mind thinks this is parrot chanting.


so now as we have made vow of 16 rounds bit Jaw-Paw and also hear with mind (not just ears).


it might be nice, if mind can be trained in chanting the mantra (this could be tough), nothing is difficult for the Krpa-Sakti.



We think chanting 2 rounds a day mentally in addition to 16 rounds with Jaw-Paw (hearing with mind) will make mind better.


Do you approve Sir ?


obiesances,

Hayagriva-Avatar Das


HpS - AgtSP. We are just trying to communicate Srila Prabhupada as we have understood him. We are pretty sure that we are not perfect at that, so please look at Srila Prabhupada's books, lectures, comments from other ISKCON devotees et al.


We feel that Prabhupada was asked several times about just mental Japa and for Western devotees but also for Indian devtoees, even himself, he rejected it as practical as the fundamental process. Then 16-rounds on beads with the jaw and fingers moving AS MUCH AS NECESSARY to engage the mind.

Then can chant more Japa silent, or slowing as Kirtan, or chant aloud or softly while engaged in any other service.

Yes, two rounds of just mental Japa sounds very nice.

Let us hear the result.
