"I was and am still bewildererd by the title "Japa vs Sankirtan". The word 'versus' is inappropriate.There is no antagonism between the two practices. Krishna Prem is granted by Radharani . No human sadhana can grant this. Then if we think we know…"

"I dd not mean to substitute your japa and fit with exercise time. What I meant when one is in love there is very little fear. We try to connect with our love with the Supreme lord Krishna who is Ananda and Beauty personified. Love is not bound by…"
"There are not finite number of souls. The concept of infinity even in Mathematics which is based on certain axioms is different that of finite. From an infinite set even after taking out an infinite set what may be ieft is another infinite set .…"

"You did not offend me at all. Since I have already explained you Japa is as natural as breathing. It is not concentration.When it comes naturally you don't stop it. It is for every one and in every situation and comes from sincere effort and not…"
"I am feeling the distinction brought between Japa and Sankirtan by you is artificial and arbitrary. The main goal is love of Krishna."
"This is so deep ocean that a person like me floating on the surface cannot dare to comment.But this gives one the thrill none the less.Thanks"
"An excellent source of knowledge described with clarity . Thanks for sharing."
"Thanks for explaining the deeper meaning behind reciting pancha tattva mantra."

"Very clearly explained the position of jiva or infinitesimal soul."
"Chanting in any situation is effective. We cannot externally measure the effect from how loud chanting has been. Lord Krishna asks for our mind and if the chanting mentally leads to that then we have to know that has been effective.For a person even…"

Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.
around a couple of hours (no minimum or maximum)
When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
Iskcon ,Chicago located then in Evanston,il
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
Iskcon,Chicago. I have visited many Iskcon temples in U.S.A.,Canada,India.I came across so many devotees whom I think very highly. ThIs is really matter of luck to meet pure devotees. My personal devotion is anchored to Hare Krishna Nama in spite of many personal weaknesses. I believe that no matter whatever is the situation by Mahamantra Japa one connects.It is like an air plane taking off in the dense cloudy sky. Own mind is the cloudy sky.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I live near Chicago and found immense pleasure through Iskcon.I came to U.S.A. in 1973 to complete my Ph.D. thesis in Mathematics.Mostly I worked as a professor or research assistant in Mathematics in Orissa,Punjab,Kansas and Chicago. I started reading Bhagabat Gita when I was around 16 years old when my influential and devotee father fell sick. Because of that I could survive the crisis when my father passed on. My mother educated me and she also passed on almost after 7 years.The search on my part for reality became intense which finally got the anchor of HARE KRISHNA NAMA.I am very greatful for that.
What are your expectations from this community?
