thanks!

as a stanndard for the bigginers i have overstand that 16 as a rounds is the baisis to beggin chanting, it takes two ours just spending for that.

 

if anyOne likes it more than that is just the chance for that to develope even more, the chanting. that is required.

 

As being disciple"s" the issue beggans with discipline. And then likes. For not falling from the constant awe of chanting if you want more just chant !!

 

I have seen that in www.prabhupadavani.org, here are some mornin Walks in where srila explains this and just wonderfull tracks. Basis and even better things it carriees, yes.

because when Prabhupada said 64 rounds the first devotees started whining.

so you going with 64.

 

tell him devotee "why" you do so. The best whim is to serve.

Rounds praying i would say also, no mater this is benefitial. as is advancement also to develop on that.

the first disciples when told to chant 64 rounds cried they couldnbt - due to the fact thyere was so much preaching work and setting up temples etc etc it was very different situation to that in india where this worship has been in place so long ....

 

 

so they begged Prabhupada to make it less he said ok 32.. but still they cried so he said 16

.. when they asked Please make it 8 he said no less than 16

 

16 is just starting number of course we should make our goal to be 64..

as i see... the working of idol workship or guide workshop in India from the most elevated country of all, i know also that is the most down-trothen one today, as it get dificult and scarcity of livelihood day a day bizz nezz etc as the path of mysticism and knowledge for that time called west comming from east - was going down to darkness... The most awe some part is that is in this math that the process is being precented, as a process, simple due to the labouring stuff of being prepared to get the one body, the perfect body and to know how is the living in holy land.

 

But as far as workship is concerned not all of the bhakti and religiouss manufacturing is authorized.

 

so 16.. is ideal. 64 is perfect.

16 rounds is because Shri Krishna is 16 celestial degrees complete. Which means 100%.

Its celestial degrees in the scale of purity. isnt it?

that is said, know that "now days" krsna is black.. Frank bhai have had you there more clear stuff on the degree scale?
