I have a doubt as to why is it said that we need to chant at least 2 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra in a day but not one. Why is it so. Is there any specific reason that we should not chant only one round of the Maha Mantra in a day?

Thank you

Hare Krishna.

  • Hare Krishna mata ji,

    Min. 2 rounds is told because if we are able to do one round very easily that means we can little bit more exert to go upto another round also isn't it? just to make you sit for one more extra round to exert yourself a bit more. so that next time if you do 3 rounds easily then you can just exert a little more to make it 4 rounds so that .  Whatever number you can do easily try to put one some more extra effort to a bit more only not less. 

    If a child can easily score 80% then he can try for the next level it takes nothing much but a bit more exertion. People don't exert themselves for one round also. If they are keeping aside dullness and lack of interest and their tamo guna to a side to do one round then they can easily do next round also 7-8 min more only na they will sit do another round somehow or the other. when 2 rounds becomes easy they should do 4 and when 4 becomes easy then 6,8,10, 12,14,16 slowly can increase 2 rounds at a time to reach 16.

    if they are able to start with 4 rounds then they can jump next to 8 and 12 and 16. Min. 2  is good. or max 4  for a starter.

    Hare Krishna
