Q. How can I find more time for chanting? I like it, but I’m usually too busy.
A. We’re all busy, but eventually we have to die. And then what? By the law of karma, anyone who is not God-realized will have to stay in the cycle of rebirth and death. So our real business should be to become God-realized and get out of the karmic cycle. And chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is the surest way to do that.
Q. If I want to take up chanting, do I need a teacher?
