Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Our life should revolve around our Japa....it should be in the centre of our sadhana - our daily schedule and time should give priority to this most important activity. Just as you give great care and attention to make the cornerstone of a building very strong, in the same way our Japa should be given time and careful attention as it is the cornerstone of our spiritual life. We should try to rest as early as possible so we can rise early, preferably before sunrise during the brahma muhurta hour....in this way we will get full benefit of that most auspicious time and make great progress through the 3 stages of chanting. Here is a nice quote from Srila Prabhupada: " Chanting japa should be done early in the morning with full concentration preferably during the Brahma Muhurta time. Concentrate fully on the sound vibration of the mantra, pronouncing each name distinctly and gradually your speed in chanting will increase naturally. Do not worry so much about chanting fast, most important is the hearing. " Letter from Srila Prabhupada 6/1/72-- LET US NOT MAKE OUR STOMACH A GRAVEYARD. LET US NOT EAT FLESH. LET US BE VEGETARIANS AND STAY HEALTHY. Animals are to be loved, not eaten. Eating flesh is good neither for the mind nor for the intellect, not even for the body. It distorts the basic character of human. Think Soul is Soul and it came from the Supreme Soul...God Head Krishna Chant:Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
