Chanting TIPS
Few precious instructions as taught by Dharmavira Prabhu:
Allow the Divine Couple to dance on your tongue as They want, at Their own pace. This means, sometimes you will chant faster, sometimes slower, sometimesloud, sometimes soft, so many ways. The point is: we are chanting for the pleasure of the Divine Couple, not ours. Therefore we allow Them to guide our chanting. As you practice, you will get more and more realizations on chanting and you will see which works best for you.
When you chant, please keep this mood: O son of Maharaja Nanda (Krsna), I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet. (Śikṣāṣṭaka, eight verses of instruction by Sri CaitanyaMahaprabhu, Verse 5)
Be aware that every time you chant, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is watching you! Means He is so attracted to your chanting the holy name, because chanting ofthe holy name is His life and soul. He is so pleased by chanting! Therefore it is the topmost service to Him!
