Prabhuapada on japa

*Top Ten Quotes by H.D.G. A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPADA on Japa* 

1) Any person who is chanting the holy names of Krishna in course of

time feels transcendental pleasure and very quickly becomes purified

of all material contamination.”

2) Simply by properly doing our japa daily, we can be freed from the

reactions to all sinful activities.

3) We cannot become fully Krishna conscious without chanting good

quality rounds daily. Chanting is the most powerful way to become

Krishna conscious.

4) Our strength is in following the regulative principles and chanting

16 rounds japa.

5) Everyone begins his devotional life from the neophyte stage, but if

one properly finishes chanting the prescribed number of rounds of

hari-nama, he is elevated step by step to the highest platform,

uttama-adhikari. – Nectar of Instruction

6) Of all the regulative principles, the spiritual master’s order to

chant at least sixteen rounds is most essential.

7) Minimum 16 rounds have to be chanted. Constant chanting should be our goal.

8) When Japa is not done with love and attention there is often no

observable spiritual or material result. However this same Japa, done

with love and attention, will enable us to perform all other devotion

practices in pure a manner, also with love and attention. –

9) There is no such requirement that japa should be done silently and

chanting should be done differently. Loudly or silently, everything is

all right. There is no such restriction. Only thing is that we should

chant very attentively, hearing the vibration very distinctly.

10) Your japa beads are your ticket back to Godhead.
