One should constantly perform hari-nama by counting the names properly on a tulasi-mala or in the absence of that, counting on the fingers.One should always stay far away from offenses.The fruit ofsri-hari-nama—krsna-prema—is attained by chanting suddha-nama.The purpose of keeping count is for the sadhaka to understand whether his practice of sri-hari-nama is increasing or diminishing.Tulasi-devi is very dear to Hari, so touching her while taking hari-nama means that hari-nama bestows more benefit.When one is practicing nama, one should understand that srikrsna-nama is non-different from His svarupa (eternal, intrinsic form).
