Chant with attention, with devotion. Chant constantly, all the time and call out that, “Oh Lord, I am yours so please accept me and engage me continuously in Your service.”
One who knows how people are suffering, he is always concerned about everybody’s suffering and he wants to do something. That is a Vaishnava.
Stay close to the Lord. That is the meaning of upavasa. Remember this throughout your life.
Chanting of Hare Krishna is business, it is a serious business. More important than any other business in the world.
So you would like to not forget Krishna, we can’t forget. He is so wonderful, how could you forget Him? Forget everything else, it’s all rubbish, all temporary, cause of suffering .
As many living entities are there, there are that many Krishna. He is there in the courtyard of every heart – waiting for us to look away from sense enjoyment and turn towards Him.
