We are not capable of chanting sixty four rounds

Complaints about Nitai dasa have been increasing daily. Apparently, he has been telling the devotees that it is not possible to go back to Godhead in this life unless one chants 100,000 names of Krsna (about sixty-four rounds) every day. He has been claiming that if one only chants sixteen rounds, it will take many births. Many devotees are affected by this nonsense, which Nitai got from some "advanced devotee" in Govardhana.

Prabhupada said he has become a sahajiya. He pointed out that at initiation we agree to chant not less than sixteen rounds. "We are not saying only sixteen rounds. You can chant more if you want -- sixty-four. But actually we are not capable of chanting sixty-four, 100,000 names a day. This is not possible for you."
