Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
yesssss, it is very difficult scedule....:(
If You come home at 9 pm it means You sleep also not earlier than 10 pm?! and wake up accordingly later?!...
My friend also is doing her CA. Her internship starts at 11 Am up to 5 Pm then she comes home takes lunch and goes to her classes. Up to 9 pm and sleeps nearly at 11 pm. Even though wakes up at 4 and goes to mangala arati then chants with Devotees...after Bhagavatam nearly at 9:30 am comes home and takes nap for half hour then leaves to her job...
It is very difficult but she does it everyday. Also she chants 17 rounds. Begging forgiveness from the Holy Names she carries her Japa Mala in the busses and chants on the way also. In this way till night she finishes her rounds.
...
Please believe me Nishant Prabhu, Krishna sees our eagerness to serve to Him no matter what is there.
"i will serve to You dear Krishna! No matter what is there! Please accept my service and please be satisfied with whatever i can offer to You!...."
Hope and wish such like timetable is for sometime and after some time You will have a nice one!
Your servant,
Hare Krsna,
Other devotees have given nice examples of what you could do.
I also have a very busy timetable most of the time.
What I try to do is use my car cd player to listen to lectures and chant during travelling.
You can also bring your mobile phone or mp3 player with maha mantra mp3 or prabhupada lecture with you.
Hari Bol,
Since you don't have a lot of time, you can do quite a few things
1. Wake up early to complete some Japa mala
2. Chant between breaks, for example 2:30 - 4:00
If either of these isnt possible, then I think it's great you manage 2 Malas a day. Just slowly try to increase it. So week 1 you do two, week 3 you try 3 malas and if that works ... Haribol!!
Basically make some time for Krishna... I bet Krishna would prefer 5 rounds of mala with you focusing on Krishna, then someone doing 1000 rounds and doing two things at once...
Also, very important, get into the habit of singing in your mind some Bhajans and constantly remember Krishna or verses from Gita,etc.
If you drive, listen to some hare Krishna or even sing aloud. Just remember Krishna continuously!!!
