Dear devotees,

Here are a number of versions of Srila Prabhupada chanting one round of japa.

Each version is slightly faster from the original recording accelerating from 11.5 minutes, to 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6 minute rounds.

I found using these helpful to keep my mind on track while chanting and to exercise my attention to keep up with Srila Prabhupada, especially when I’m feeling distracted or drowsy. Very helpful for late-night chanters (rare as they may be, hehe)

Choose a speed you feel comfortable with and gradually work your way up if you like. I recommend turning your players repeat function to cycle the one track you choose.

I hope this comes in handy for you!

I had asked Mukunda Maharaja if this was a bona-fide practice to which he gave approval, so no worries for orthodoxy concerns.

your servant,

Rasikananda dasa
