Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Thank you so much.

    This is regarding, http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/3800."... is 2.3 seconds per mantra!" : Some time it is very difficult to get
    space in temple on the month of Kartik. On 6 Nov 2013, it was a day before Prabhupada's festival, which was 7 Nov 2013. So much
    devotees had reached in Vrandavan. To see the crowd, i just attended Puja at Prabhupada's Samadi temple. and chanted all rounds
    at Samadi mandir. Did not went to inside the temple hall. we paid obeisances from out side the temple hall. And continued chanting
    at samidi temple.

    That day, i had finished my 12 rounds before 4:10 AM and remaining at samadi mandir.

    When i chant without sound and with mouth movement, i observed it takes less time, compare to when i chant with sound and
    with mouth movement.

    During Kartik Pravas (stay) in Vrandavan, I experimented three way of chanting:
    Type : 1. Chant with sound and with mouth movement.
    Type : 2. Chant without sound and with mouth movement.
    Type : 3. Chant without sound and without mouth movement (inside chanting).

    Type : 3 takes so much time, 4 rounds 30 minutes. Then comes Type : 1 and Type : 2.

    Secret of Chanting : When i chant, i just focus only one thing at a time. Like, some time, lotus feet of Srimati Radharani,
    some time flowers  around Srimati Radharani's lotus feet, some time Lords eye, long hair, face, mala (garland) around neck,
    some time Lords color - blue or black, some time Lord's tao nail and some time Lotus colore of Louts feet, some time Lord's floot,
    some time cloth, color of cloth etc... my rounds go over and over and we really feel very calm and cool. And just don't want to
    go out from that. And then entire day, i just want to be in that.

    During chanting, when i focus on flowers around Srimati Radharani's lotus feet, we get awesome freshness. Similerly many, many things.

    Guru Dev, Please guide me, if i am making mistake.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.
