Sr BSSM- unless we make efforts we will never get the mercy of Krishna. Unless one gets mercy one can never make advancement.To organize your life and priorities for good japa. We may know all the techniques, moods but no environment.You never get the opposite of what you meditate on. You have to meditate on good japa.I dont think I will be able to do it, you are absolutely right you wont be able to do it.Hope I get up early in the morningno.

Evaluation8.Crooked posture gives us crooked mind.Plan ahead whats going to happen in day.. sometimes other times are not conducive to chanting. Services.. travel etc.Pratibimba reflection of one devotees Bhakti on other but it doesnt work all the time.

Krishna sees you everyday he can tell you what is good and what is not good in your japa. He can tell you as a supersoul.We are all attached to the words of Krishna they are like ambrosia.16 becomes the obstacle. Because we focus on the number.. it becomes the problem and it is indication that there is problem.Krishna says he doesnt want to be with me. Japa is not getting in the way it is the way.MECHANICAL: in japan one robot offers food to Buddha. Gun if your fire without bullet. If we send you in Iraq with this gun and ask you to kill. Chanting without life is like that.1976he said they are not chanting Hare Krishna.. kirtan bands were called for the festivals. They are chanting money money money.We learn about Bhakti it is not who you are but it is the mood. Based on consciousness what we are putting in our chanting.When you begin chanting you begin from naam abhasa you have to make little bit of effort to commit naam aparadha...jaiva dharma.Why am I thinking which I am thinking about you think whole day and when you chant you do the same thing.When you go to library there is atmosphere which is conducive to study. When we sit down to chant we dont go to japa library but now days the globalization. Mobiles are product of passion because they put us in mode of passion..If you dont enter into the mode of goodness or some mode of goodness. Then restless mind will ruin your japa.. passion.Its a paradox to think to connect to holy name and think of same nature..Looks like he is cooking but he doesnt know how to cook.We are not thinking of Krishna we are thinking of our day.Imp. To understand. Goal is not to read a book but to assimilate, goal is not to cook but to make a meal to eat japa is not to chant 16 rounds but it is to nourish our Bhakti.Bhaktivinoda thakur says. You are chanting dead names mayic sitaunless you chant with consciousness.What is the difference in our cooking and mother yasodas cooking.How are you going to feel on those days when you didnt chant properlybored, frustratedIt is not the real name because real name doesnt produce thatYou want to chant more when you chant good you wont want to stop but when you want to stop.If you dont take yourself seriously nobody else will.Now it is like conversation with Krishna.Whats in your mantra i.e what is your intension your desire.That devotee was in my mantra. Not only that but all the ill feelings during japa.After the sixteen rounds he is more ever convinced than ever that you are right and he was wrong.I dislike them more than ever whats in your mantra anger jealousy. AhWe start with Naam AbhasaYou have to do the naam aparadha.. and you have to do some effort to get suddha namaBeing on the platform consistently.. or you are performing the dev service of one who is on the higher platform.--- madhyama adhikari means nistha..You will be detached from the thought of bring detached.. you only want to please Krishna
