Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 in ones darkest hour or on the brightest day. When one is all alone in the wilderness or surrounded by millions of adulating fans. When one is being born and when one is breathing his last breath and in between the two events. There is no opportune time, nor is there a time when it is not appropriate. hare krsna, ys, mahaksadasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hare Krishna is there any specific time to chant the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra practice chanting of Krishna's Holy Names at all times. in this way you will be trained to think about Krishna all the time, especially at the time of death, when it is both most important and most difficult to remember Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guruvani Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hare Krishna is there any specific time to chant the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra Brahma-muhurta The daily sadhana program begins early in the morning. The hours before dawn, beginning one and a half hours before sunrise, is called the brahma-muhurta. This period of the day is a particularly potent time for spiritual activities. "In the early morning hours (known as brahma-muhurta) one should get up and immediately chant the Hare Krsna mantra, or, at least, "Krsna, Krsna, Krsna." In this way, one should remember Krsna. Some slokas or prayers should also be chanted. By chanting, one immediately becomes auspicious and transcendental to the infection of material qualities." Caitanya-caritamrta, Madyam lila 24:331 According to Arcana Padati, "Every twenty-four minutes is equal to one danda. Two dandas, or forty-eight minutes, is equal to one muhurta. In the day and the night together, there are a total of thirty muhurtas. In the last portion of the night, the time beginning two muhurtas before the rise of the sun up to the rise of the sun, or one hour and thirty-six minutes before the rise of the sun, is called arunodaya. Of these two muhurtas, the first muhurta is called the brahma-muhurta. This brahma-muhurta is the most auspicious time for devotees seeking after success in spiritual realization."

We could die one second from now so best to have Krsna's name on our lips. The best advice is to live everyday as our last and that can be refined down to every second. At some point we will be beyond such calculated chanting and will chant out of pure attraction but until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
