The mind

A living mantra

If we don’t properly chant the holy name, we will start thinking that chanting can’t really uproot our deepest anarthas. Because we are not experiencing Krsna while we chant, we lose faith in the value and power of the holy name. The maha mantra is a living thing and when I chant a living mantra I get life.
