Haridasa Thakura, being the acarya of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra,

is called Namacarya Haridasa Thakura. From his personal example we can

understand that chanting the Hare Krsna mantra and becoming highly elevated

in Krsna consciousness is very simple. Without difficulty one can sit down

anywhere, especially on the bank of the Ganges, Yamuna or any other sacred

river, devise a sitting place or cottage, plant a tulasi tree, and before

the tulasi chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra undisturbed...

 

....One should not, however, imitate Haridasa Thakura, for no one else can

chant the holy name 300,000 times a day. Such chanting is for the

mukta-purusa, or liberated soul. We can follow his example, however, by

chanting sixteen rounds of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra on beads every day and

offering respect to the tulasi plant. This is not at all difficult for

anyone...
