Question to Radhanath Swami: When we chant, with what consciousness should we chant? What thing should we keep in mind while calling the Lord?
Answer by Radhanath Swami: Like a child crying for its mother we should chant the names of Krishna. We should take the shelter of Krishna who has so mercifully appeared within the name. We should chant very attentively in a prayerful mood, and we should chant regularly; medicine is most effective when it is taken regularly according to the prescription of a doctor.
