As a beginner, what selective prayers, aartis, bhajans, japa, etc should I adhere to ?Presently I recite The MahaMantra and Mangal Aarti in the mornings by his grace SP.
You need to be a member of ISKCON Desire Tree | IDT to add comments!
So happy to note your interest in ISKCON and your desire to divert your energies towards Krsna.
Right now, what you need to do is - chant the mahamantra on beads of 108, ideally start with 4 rounds and gradually increase your number of rounds as and when you are comfortable, to reach 16 rounds. Chanting 4 rounds of mahamantra will take 30 minutes of your time. This chanting has to be done everyday without fail - the day you dont eat AND the day you dont sleep is the day you dont chant. There are no restrictions of time, place, whether taken bath or not, chanting is important. Simply chant and Be Happy.
Since you are doing mangalarati, pls continue. It is very very good.
It would be a good idea to eat veg food without onion garlic, no smoking, no drinking, no gambling, no illicit sex.
Associate with devotees, there are devotees of all ages and walks of life in the temple and congregation. So please visit your nearest ISKCON temple at the earliest and get started.
You can read some of the initial books - Chant & Be Happy, Perfect Questions & Perfect Answers, On the Way to Krsna, Life Comes from Life....
Best of luck. Welcome to our family.
