Prabhu, thank you for the audio clip of one round of Japa!

Zubra Dasi and CCD sent us a Kroger gift certificate for Happy Father's Day.

Both gifts leave us breathless!

Let us offer everything to Lord Nrsmha Deva, the Supreme Father.

We can go marketing for Him.

How to Improve Japa!

The entire SB, CC, NoD seems to be the answer to that question, no?

We heard H. H. Satsvarupa Das Gos. asked the same question to Srila Prabhupada, "How to chant better rounds, Srila Prabhupada"?

Then, SP looked at him with pointy eyes and said, "By chanting better rounds"!

So, that's the basic answer, no?? That if we are chanting rounds, we are getting intelligence from the Lord of the Heart. So, we have sufficient knowledge how to chant better, then the question is are we going to do it, be faithful, be Bhaktas. Use whatever strength we have to apply the improvement that our Krsna conscious intelligence is dictating.

Beyond that we were in Vaikuntha listening to the one round of Japa. Timed 10-mantras and they were 4.5 sec/mantra. Then the whole clip seems to be 8' 48" which is 5 seconds/Mantra.

(We are doing just about the same now.)

That means 16-rounds, 1728 mantras, = 8,640 sec. = 144 min. = 2hours and 24 minutes, no?

NoI 7 and 8 seem to be nice instructions on Japa. If we are chanting attentively, Nama, then we should start to develop a desire to see the form of the Lord, Rupa. Our intelligence starts asking us, "Hey, you chant'n 'Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare', but where is dis Krsna!"

So, we look around the room for a picture of Krsna (and cows (and Srimati Radharani)) or go sit in front of our Deities or in the Temple Room.

Does that happen to you?

"Nama, Rupa, Carit-adi..." (NoI 7 & 8). Adi = Sanga and Lila, no? All this should manifest if we are chanting with Bhakti.

• Sit properly.
• Breath properly.
• Chant with proper meaning.

We heard that Prabhupada told Guru-kripa Swami that he could chant in the mood of the Siksastakam.

We especially remember SB 10.47.63.

Chanting clearly with our lips purifies the earth,

Chanting also with mental attention purifies the sky,

Chanting also with meaning purifies heaven, Goloka?

Enough people chanting like that, purifying the mental atmosphere and then very difficult for people to think demoniac thoughts.

Some of our ideas.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

Please let us know your thoughts on the matter.
