Hare Krishna Prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

I am grateful to you because I visited your page and was happy to collect some photos. Good Collection !

It was nice to receive your friend request. But please let me know what prompted you do so. Please let me know, so that I can respond to your friend request.

And regarding your statement on chanting well my understanding is as follows :

Analogy ( Given by HG Gaur Gopal Prabhu ( ISKCON Chowpatty ):
You know that while making bhoga offering to the lord it takes only 20 minutes ( to place the food offering before the lord ). But for this to take place one makes an advance preparation for atleast 8 to 10 hours ( in bringing food items, cooking the bhoga, etc.). Similarly although we chant only for 2 hours ( i.e 16 rounds ) or attend mangala arati ( for 20 minutes ), the remaining 22 hours of the day has to be spent in preparing ourself ( especially our consciousness) to chant attentively. And since we are still in the conditioned state under the influence of three modes we require other activities ( in the remaining 22 Hours) to prepare our consciousness for attentive chanting.

Please not that any kind of chanting will NOT really help, but attentive chanting alone can.And more over let me tell you that it is consciousness that matters while carrying out any acitvity in Bhakti, and NOT the activity itself.

Your Servant,

Bh.Durgaprasad
