Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hey Das: One of the things I'm not clear on is the appropriate days for chanting. In an earlier email, you advised to chant every day.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Personally, I don't chant, as I did it for years, Hare Krishna, and I'm a bit dis-en-chanted. I'm kidding. The days of the week thing: I really doubt the Gods care when we chant. Our souls like it all the time, our bodies always need the vibrations, our minds the solace. I personally think the power is in the act of doing it, and the hearing of the clear Sanskrit, pronounced close to how it's supposed to sound. Doing it Hearing it That's the power. It's in the act, and the hearing. It gives the mind on a base level a type of food. That's the power. It's a fortune to just be able to actually do it, anytime, anywhere, those things are not important. Doing it. Just do it. I put the Sanskrit sound files on my CD for the Sanskrit clueless. If someone learns those things, then they can pronounce anything. It's not hard to pronounce Sanskrit. You just need to hear some of it, then you're on your way, but I think it would not be good to say it ALL wrong, but rather, somewhat close to correct I feel is good enough. Those who stress TOTAL Sanskrit accuracy are condemning nearly all Westerners to never doing it at all. I don't think personally the days of the week are that important, but I know, it's a big part of the usual plan. I'm a bhakti renegade against strict Hindu stuff; we say, it's the intent that counts most, and then also, it's the meer act of actually doing it that counts, the sincerity, and the benefits of just doing it, the vibrations, and so on.

I think the 'Gods' are smart enough to know what a soul is intending to 'say' to them. Way to go on being a bhakti renegade <laugh>. Clueless in California....
