Hari Sauri Prabhu in reply to the above about Srila Prabhupada chanting only

4 rounds, said he observed SP chanting 16 rounds always. And thats the

standard SP wanted his followers to follow. When some preacher could not

chant 16 rounds, SP used to ask him/her to forgo sleep to make up the

rounds.
