Today's Thought:

Remembering Srila Prabhupada in Santiago
uploaded from Santiago, Chile

There is truly nothing sweeter than remembering Srila Prabhupada. And there is truly no place sweeter to do that than at Prabhupada Night, a weekly nectarean event held every Friday evening at ISKCON's temple in Santiago, Chile. On 6 January 2012 I was blessed with the opportunity to be the speaker at Prabhupada Night. I decided to focus on that quality of Srila Prabhupada's which is the most sublime, namely his compassion. It is his compassion on the fallen souls that brought him to the West to start this movement. And it is his amazing compassion which attracted us to totally give our lives to him in a feeble attempt reciprocate with his compassion.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why is Regulated Chanting Required?


Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet

Why do devotees say, "regulated chanting the holy names" instead of just, "chanting the holy names"? Can you please explain what they mean? Also, I would like to know if my chanting is regulated.

Your humble servant
Shyam
 


Answer: To Insure that You Become Pure


Regulated means that one should chant a minimum of 16 rounds daily of the Hare Krishna mahamantra on japa mala beads. This is the minimum amount of japa chanting required for remaining fully in Krishna 24 hours a day. Regulated chanting is required for the neophyte devotee to insure that he will do enough chanting on a regular daily to insure that the material contamination that has accumulated in his heart over millions of lifetimes is gradually washed away. So, are you chanting at least 16 rounds every day?
