Sankirtan in Kartik

2 weeks, 5 days ago by AKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada, and All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gour Nitay.

Please accept my humbles obeisances unto your lotus feet.


HpSwami/ASA - Very inspiring, agtSP, to get your association.

I think we still have lettuce feet covering our lotus feet.

You?


Dear Girudeva:

I hope you are in good health, thank you for your visits to India and Spain, they are very inspiring and fill us with enthusiasm to continue chanting the rounds and for take association with devotees.

I have been studying the TPP, reading the Krsna book, and I have been carrying out the month of Kartik in association with the devotees of the cultural center Radha Govinda.


HpSwami/ASA - Who, Where are they? 😃


I have heard that there are no very difficult rules for chanting the Holy Name in Sik-Astak, and I know that the most basic thing to practice Krishna consciousness is to chant the japa, I also remember that you have instructed us to get up early and chant the rounds, to strive to do good rounds. About everything related to the Sankirtan process, again I have questions:

*What is needed to start chanting rounds? Is a certain age required, physical conditions, clothing, schedule, doing them in a certain direction, or with a specific position or having a Guru? What are the minimum requirements.


HpSwami/ASA - Anyone, agtNG, can chant. Even a dog can take part dance in ecstacy.

Chant Holy Names is like eating food. There will always be an effect, like eating food if we eat according to a nice standard there will be more result.

Follow the four principles more and more strictly. Chanting with better:

Sankirtan associates,

Daily schedule,

Pronunciation,

Meaning,

Love ❤️.


*In NOD about Japa say: Chanting a mantra or hymn softly and slowly is called japa... How slowly should they be chanting?


HpSwami ASA - Not so slowly that your mind wanders nor so fast you don't chant with meaning



*How important is it to avoid the 10 offenses when chanting the Holy Name?


HpSwami ASA--Like avoiding pour water on the wood when you are trying to start a fire.

Greatest offense is to stop chanting, no?


*Can rounds or any rounds be substituted for a period of Kirtan?


Olive oil substituted for Ghee.


*What are the minimum requirements to belong to ISKCON?


Life Membership. Initiated members. Each Temple has particular ethos for Congregating members.

Some not members but friends and guests.


What topics should be avoided with devotees from other sangas?


NOI 4-6 has good details, no?

Lord Jesus Christ belongs to Catholic sanga, no? He is described in NOI 5?


Thaks a lot for your very valuable attention, your crew member. ⛵️. ⛵️. .⛵️
