And officially, krkshaharama (Prabhupāda chants very fast with words running into each other indistinctly). Not like that (chants again like that) Not like that. That will not... Every word should be distinctly chanted and heard, not official.


Room Conversation -- July 16, 1973, London:

Prabhupāda: So that is chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, depending on . . . as soon as we have got some time, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Either loudly or silent . . . as far as possible loudly; if not possible, silently. But the tongue must go: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. The tongue must work. And as far as possible, should be heard . . . that is . . . and officially, krshkshaharamahaharama (chants very fast, with words running into each other indistinctly)

Not like that.

(chants again like that)

Not like that. That will not . . . every word should be distinctly chanted and heard, not official.

So stress on this point. As far as possible, people should be encouraged to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, and try to bring the ecstasy and dance. Even there is no ecstasy, dance; it will bring ecstasy. Dancing is so nice. Chanting, dancing and take prasādam, take rest. That's all. Not that you shall take rest like Kumbhakarṇa. (laughs) Just to, I mean to say, answer the call of this deficient body, we have to take little rest. But as far as possible this should be conquered.
