Japa Talk | How are you using EARS & TONGUE when not Chanting? | NVCC | Gauranga Darshan Das

Could what you say today affect how you chant tomorrow morning? In this talk, Gauranga Darshan Das explains why attentive japa begins before we pick up our beads. The conversations we join and the things we choose to hear throughout the day shape our consciousness when we sit down to chant. He explains: ◼ Why chanting Krishna’s holy names is central to spiritual life ◼ How gossip and mundane talk can distract us during japa ◼ Why we should be mindful of how we use both our tongue and ears ◼ How to redirect our speech toward Krishna ◼ Why the ācāryas call Krishna’s names the sweetest taste for the tongue Chapters: 00:01 Introduction 00:04 Why the tongue and ears matter for japa 00:37 How what we hear affects our consciousness 01:08 Today’s conversations and tomorrow’s japa 01:46 The Lord’s many beautiful names 02:39 A prayer to the tongue: Chant Krishna’s names 03:31 Why the tongue seeks taste 04:27 What is the sweetest taste? 05:03 The sweetness of Krishna’s holy names What helps you keep your speech and hearing connected to Krishna throughout the day?
