    Shri Nama-mala-grahana-mantra (on taking the beads for the purpose of japa).
    avighnam kuru male tvam
    harinama-japesu ca
    shri radha-krishnayor dasyam
    dehi male tu prarthaye

    "O Mala, please destroy inauspiciousness in my chanting of the holy name of Lord Gaura-Hari and grant me the position of service to Nityananda-Gauranga and Radha-Krishna. This is all I pray, O Mala."

    nama cintamani-rupam
    namaiva parama gatih
    namnah parataram nasti
    tasman nama upasmahe

    "The Holy Name is a beautiful transcendental touchstone--it is the supreme goal. There is nothing higher than the Holy Name. I therefore worship the Holy Name."

  • Hare Krishna

    Can we hear lords name and glory from persons who are not from ISKCON.
  • hari krishna
  • The book "The Art of Chanting Hare Krishna" By H.H. Mahanidhi Swami clearly explains the difference between material sound and transcendetal sound of Lord Sri Krisna's name. The example of how a medicinal capsule is not the medicine was very helpful in giving clear understanding to me about the process of chanting.Of course, the medicine absorbs only to the extent the capsule allows.
  • CONCENTRATION = QUALITY
    The process of chanting is to say the Hare Krishna Mahamantra distinctly pronounicng each word and listen to these words with all attention. The emphasis is on hearing. And concentration can be improved by various methods
    1. Early morning is the best time to chant when we r at our sattvic best
    2. The process of chanting itself is a practice which improves over a period of time
    3. Always beg for the mercy of the Lord & Srila Prabhupada to help u.
    4. Find a suitable place that has less distractions.
    5. Chant with devotees.
    6. Chant with the knowledge that Krishna is present in His name also.
    7. Avoid the 10 offenses
    8. Be in touch with Prabhupada thru books & lectures
    9. Visit ur local ISKCON temple once a week atleast and do some service
    10. Follow the Vaishnava etiquette
  • Hamari hi Shri Radhey,hume kis baat ki chinta,sharan me rakh liya humko,hume kis baat ki chinta.RADHEY RADHEY.....HARE KRSNA......

CHANTING THE HOLY NAME.‏

What does it mean that the holy name of Krsna is transcendental, and should never be considered a material sound vibration? The holy name has absolutely nothing to do with the mundane world of matter. The holy name is not a combination of material letters and syllables. The form of the holy name is sat-cit-ananda, eternal blissful consciousness. Although in this world, the holy name is not of this world. The divine name of the Lord is not a product of the material world. Only a liberated soul…
