Guest guest Report post Posted November 12, 2003 Hare Krishna prabhus. I some time start chanting and for some reason I don't complete the full round. Again next time I start fresh. So is it OK to stop the chanting in the middle. and start fresh. Hari bol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yasodanandana 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2003 top chart: 1)to chant constantly all day long every day of the life 2)to chant 16 rounds in the early morning without stopping 3)to chant 16 rounds in another moment of the day without stopping 4)to divide the 16 rounds in two or three groups to be chanted in two or three moments of the day without stopping 5)to stop only when a round is finished 6)to stop also in the middle but restarting at the beginning of the round 7)to stop in the middle, restarting also from the middle the chart is a joke, the true advice is that we have to consider seriously when it is possible to avoid the 10th offence ("10) To not have complete faith in the chanting of the holy names and to maintain material attachments, even after understanding so many instructions on this matter. It is also an offense to be INATTENTIVE while chanting.") and when it is necessary to complete the number of rounds given by spiritual master even if we are tired, disattentive, unfaithful, dirty, in various mayas etc. so it is up to us, (never too lazy, never too fanatic).. do your best but do not stop to chant hare krishna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted November 13, 2003 And I can not complete a round in that time . Aleast I can use the time to chant even half round instead of using it on some mundane thing. I am on bus stop , bus can come any time in 2 to 5 minutes , why to wastes that time , start chanting . Of course I continue chanting on boarding the bus too . But sometime if I have to take out my money bag to pay for the trip etc , I loose the count and start gain, What is wrong in that. Hari bol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 13, 2003 " I loose the count and start gain, What is wrong in that." if you are not speaking of "extra rounds", elatively to your (and mine) situation and consciousness... absolutely nothing if we were more advanced we'd feel necessary to be more accurate.. this is the sense of my previous message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
