Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Each-mantra-of-each-round:You have to chant and hear each mantra. Right here and now.Focus on this bead you are now holding between your fingers, this mantra that is now being uttered from your lips and now entering into the ear. And then move onto the next mantra, which you must focus on in the same way… and the next… and the next.This may work for 10 or 15 mantras, maybe even 30, and the mind will become diverted again. Then you have to pull the mind back and set to it again. Continue to do this and you will succeed.At the end of each round, take stock of how well you did, and resolve to make the next round even better: " This time I am going to concentrate fully on each and every mantra of this round – all 108. " The attitude is, “Right now, this is the only round that counts.”And so it goes on for each and every mantra of each and every round… You will see steady improvement… And if you practice this each and every day, your rounds in general will steadily improve. Taken from Iskcon.com -- At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.
