Japa Talk: Why Chant When You are Not Interested in Chanting? | NVCC | Gauranga Darshan Das
What if you feel no joy while chanting Hare Krishna? Should you keep going?
In this japa talk, Gauranga Darshan Das explains how Krishna’s holy name can free us from fear, and why a devotee should continue chanting even when the mind wanders and every round feels difficult.
He explains:
◼ Why Śrīmad Bhāgavatam repeatedly urges us to take shelter of Krishna’s names
◼ How chanting helps us face fear, even when done unconsciously
◼ Why our consciousness is drawn either toward māyā or toward Krishna’s holy name
◼ How to pray for a deeper experience of chanting
◼ Why a struggling sādhaka should not give up when chanting feels dry
◼ How Krishna notices our commitment and gradually gives us taste
