Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
A spiritual master or leader should not be proud of his position; being always humbler than an ordinary common man, he should go on preaching the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 17.31 Purport)
When chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, in the beginning one may commit many offenses, which are called namabhasa and nama-aparadha. In this stage there is no possibility of achieving perfect love of Krishna by chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 17.32 Purport)
Chanting involves the activities of the upper and lower lips as well as the tongue. All three must be engaged in chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. The words "Hare Krishna" should be very distinctly pronounced and heard. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 17.3 Purport)
