AncientMariner 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Ever since I have been chanting Hare Krishna mantra 300,001 times a day I have been noticing that my family and friends are beginning to treat me like I no longer exist. This must be a great blessing from Krishna. Human beings look like ghosts to me now and they treat me like I am a ghost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gHari 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 They want to enjoy you. But now they can't. You are no longer a plaything for their attachments. And what's more, they are no longer playthings for your attachments because those attachments have been now slain by Arjuna's bow. How long is 300,001? It is 2777.787037037037037037037037037 rounds when my calculator divides it by 108. Dividing again by the 16 words is 173.61168981481481481481481481481 rounds, almost 20 hours. It's a special world up there for sure. One that is difficult to leave. gHari Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShegavichaRana 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Why people around you think that you have gone mad? But let them think so, you be happy in your chanting. The results would be soon there for you to feel. Spiritual aspirants get many transcendental experiences as they progress on the path of spiritualism. Like, getting fragrance when others do not get a tinge of it, getting the vision of brilliant lights, seeing the Lord all over, listening the Nada of Anahat. You might start getting some Siddhis too. These are only the landmarks and not the final stop!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Yes the more you chant, the more "people will shun you" But Lord Sri Hari is one who takes away all inauspiciousness and will give Himself to you by Harinam chanting ------------------------ Ever since I have been chanting Hare Krishna mantra 300,001 times a day I have been noticing that my family and friends are beginning to treat me like I no longer exist.

yasodanandana 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 16 rounds= more than 1 hour and half 32 rounds = more than 3 hours 64 = from 6 to 8 hours 128 = 15 hours 192 = maybe 22 hours it is very natural that they think that Ancient Mariner does not exist!!! /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted November 27, 2003 You might as well live in the forest and live as the Rishi Valmiki did. If you are old enough, it can be qualified Vanaprastha /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Govindaram 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Hare Krishna from-Purport Therefore devotees in the line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu must chant at least sixteen rounds daily, and this is the number prescribed by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Haridasa Thakura daily chanted 300,000 names. Sixteen rounds is about 28,000 names. There is no need to imitate Haridasa Thakura or the other Gosvamis, but chanting the holy name a fixed number of times daily is essential for every devotee. <font color="red"> Sri Caitanya-caritamrita Madhya-lila 7.37</font color> -- Ps.according to my calculations(lol), 300,000 names is about 160 rounds, from the above information /images/graemlins/ooo.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Haribol i do not even have the time to chant even 3 to 4 rounds ------lover_soul are you sure about that? you have time while reading posts on audarya, don't you? i'm not saying that is bad, but if you DID want to chant your rounds, then you would be doing that instead of reading posts here. don't take me wrong, but it is only a suggestion.

lover_soul 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Thanks for the chastisement, you are right. I will go and chant now, rather than read things here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
