Hare Krsna Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,
please accept my respectful obeisances,
all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'd like to ask a question about japa.
I run a blog on chanting japa, and i use your classes and Japa Joe doc also. (You can check it here:  japa.blog.hu)

You wrote in Japa Joe (rev. 2011.02.11.):
"Then you mind goes into an iconographic rather than linear mode."
I tried to find the definition of iconographic but i wasn't successful.
Can you explain the meaning of this word, please?

                 HpS - ASA -  AGTSP  paoho.  It is a term that you can probably find in Marshall McLuhan's books.     In the mode of passion our mind is working in a line, reasoning:    It's 6AM now, will I have time to take my car to the 24-hour oil change place and get the oil changed before I go to work...

  .... In Iconographic mode, no mental speculation, we are in Dhyana, meditating on things, the Holy Name.   In Ernst Poppel's, "Mind-works", the shows results of his experiments that Western people can keep about 3-seconds of events in their consciousness at one time as one event.  Time is not a line that can be divided into nano-seconds.  It can be complete events, icons, that we can contemplate of up to three seconds.      We discuss this in the Japa Joe book.  A Yantra is a visual icon.   A Catholic will say they that they are worshipping the Icons in the Temple, where we say the Deities in the Temple.  The Orthodox Church is famous for it's Icons.

          Mental speculation: Jnana,    go to Meditation, contemplation: Dhyana, and we hope then to Bhakti!

Thank you for the nice example how we can follow Srila Prabhupada!
your servant:

        ASA -  Oink!   Oink!       Whoop!    Whoop!      Hope to see your Wet-ware form soon.
