jeffster Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hare Krishna, If you do not have the japa beads, you can just starting without them. Later you can purchase some. Do you live in or near a city or town that has a temple ? If so, you can visit the temple gift shop and find the beads there. The main thing is to begin chanting. Do you know the Hare Krishna maha-mantra ? It is the great chanting for deliverance and goes like this: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare. Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Please let us know how it goes; we are here to help. Regards, jeffster/AM das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathless Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hello, I wanted to start and chant Hare Krishna, but i am to young to order the chanting beads of the internet, ( no credit card) and my parents would NEVER buy them for me PLEASE can someone help:confused: Thanks Maybe you could use your fingers? Say one mantra per finger and then make tally marks on paper to see how many "rounds" you've done. Or maybe just ask your parents to buy you beads and string in order to make a "necklace" or "bracelet"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarva gattah Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Never underestimate the power of prayer, you are very sincere, so somehow Krishna will provide, if you are genuine, Guru will find you because Krishna will send him.
