yes i can agree in all what has been said. i'm kinda new to chanting myself and have had hard times while at it. at least, it felt so.
after a short wile i started to play recordings from prerecorded chanting on www.krishna.com on my mp3 player and listened to it almost all working day. they gave me strength and i started feeling what i identify as my paramatma real strong. but it cost me great heartship to get there.
it's like a friend described me as 'being put to a test'
