What are the benefits of chanting?

[Medhavini Sakhi Devi Dasi JPS]

The benefits of chanting are very beautifully described by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who is Lord Krsna Himself who has come in the mood of a pure devotee … who else can explain the glories of chanting the Holy Name better than Lord Chaitanya / Gaurangaaaaaaa…. Please read the siksastakam prayers given by Lord Chaitanya as He describes the glory of chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra (HKMM) right from Ceto darpana marjanam (cleansing the mirror of our heart from anarthas) to Krsna Prema(loving and serving Krsna in all circumstances whether in association or in separation).

You can read the full details in this link:

The benefits of chanting can be further realized practically when we do chant HKMM in the association of those devotees who have taste in chanting HKMM, who have personally experienced the benefits of chanting HKMM and are shining wonderful real life examples for us – SP Himself, our spiritual master, disciples of SP and our siksha Gurus.

To practically experience transformation of our consciousness, we would like to invite you and all readers of this post to our EP BM 15 min zoom session where we chant Siksastakam prayers, offenses to be avoided while Chanting Hare Krsna & fantastic japa talk on glories of Holy Name followed by vaishnava pranam. This is followed by HKMM chanting on zoom during BM EVERY DAY, from 5 to 7:10 AM IST…where we try to inspire each other for the purpose of what SP said will help us advance the most in Krsna Consciousness – the chanting of the Hare Krsna Mahamantra (HKMM). Chanting HKMM with attentiveness( proper hearing of HKMM); awareness(that Krsna and His Holy Names are non different) and absorption in Holy Name( leaving aside everthing else to be taken care of after 2 hours, after 7 AM IST) increases our faith and gives us spiritual strength to not just go through but GROW THROUGH life’s tough times and become more determined to practice bhakti – devotional service in all circumstances/ situations.
