Yudhistir Govinda Das, Trustee and Country Director of Communications for ISKCON India, was recently interviewed by Times Now, an English-language TV news channel in India with millions of monthly readers.
In a thoughtful exchange with interviewer Namya Sinha, Yudhistir explores the profound impact of chanting Krishna’s holy names on mental well-being and spiritual growth. He explains that chanting—especially the Hare Krishna maha-mantra—helps individuals purify their thoughts, center their minds, and experience lasting inner peace. The sound vibration itself is spiritually potent, gradually transforming consciousness and dissolving negative mental patterns. He emphasizes that this practice isn’t limited to monks or full-time devotees; even a few minutes of chanting daily can have deep effects on one’s clarity, emotional health, and sense of purpose.
Beyond the personal benefits, Yudhistir Govinda Das highlights chanting as a timeless tool for collective upliftment, fostering compassion, community, and ethical living. He reflects on the universal accessibility of mantra meditation, which transcends language, culture, and background, making it relevant to people of all walks of life. Drawing from both Vedic wisdom and ISKCON’s global experience, he encourages sincere, heart-centered chanting as a path not just to personal peace, but to a more spiritually awakened and harmonious world.
