During japa this morning I suddenly felt very strange. It was around 6am this morning that I started walking at a very fast pace around the temple room this morning and didn't stop until 7am. On the second floor of the temple room there is a huge picture of Lord Chaitanya on the wall that we can see from the temple room 1st floor. When I looked up to see Lord Chaitanya my chanting got to be really intense. I felt chills all over my body as if almost trembling and it felt like I was calling out to Krishna with desperation. I never had this experience before until now. I don't know if it was because I was reading about Lord Chaitanya for an hour and a half on Saturday and then ended up thinking about Lord Chaitanya this morning on how He would chant the mantra. I must have been meditating on that or something...Anyone else here ever have this exeprience during japa? And any idea why this happened to me this morning? Those were the only conlusions I could come up with.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru-maharaja.
It was a sign given by the Lord Himself. Dear mother, you should go on reading that same book and after you have finish reading that book you must start to preach about it to everyone who wants to hear about the pasttimes of the Lord. The Lord likes it very much if His devotees are talking about Him. In this case YOU must talk about Him.
Please read that book with all your time. Put all your mind into that book.
Thank you so much my dear mother for giving me a chance to talk about the Lord and to serve you.

Lord reciprocates His love for us. He shows in many ways.
This is normal in devotional life. Haribol !
