"Please help me how , to chant and remember Krishna when Mind wonders like Wind"
- you simply continue chanting.. there's no need to make separate efforts to remember krishna or to remain fixed, chant hare krishna mahamantra, if the mind wanders, when you feel like that... CHANT

" How to overcome the Maya ?"
-chanting and associating with people not in maya.. devotees

"and how to get inspired from books of Srila.Prabhupada."
-reading them and discussing them with devotees

the offences to the holy name...

chanting hare-Krishna cannot give you love of
god if u r chanting with offence.

so I would say learn about this more.

also avoid discussions with devotee who have
the propensity to criticize (a lot)

also endeavour to serve a pure devotee,
beg for a guru.

I have found more than anything that
Having association with devotees,
i.e. in person/on the web/ is essential
so you can talk about your feelings etc.

Srila Prabhupada and other Vaisnavas always stress the importance
Of devotee association and now I am beginning to see why as well.
