“If one lives in the earthly land of Vrndavana, touches it, sees it, travels to it, meditates upon it, bows down to offer respects to it, sings or hears about its glorious qualities, carries the dust on his head, or has any relationship with it, the this purifying earthly Vrndavana will carry him to the supreme abode of Vrndavana in the spiritual world”-Srila Prabhodananda Sarasvati Thakur, from “Vrndavana-Mahimamrta”
In order to celebrate this most auspicious of seasons, Kartik, the month of celebration and deep absorption in the loving devotional service of Radhika and Her beloved Damodara, Nectar Flow will bring you an exclusive series of MP3 and video downloads from the 2004 Vrndavan Yatra.
Beginning with the Kartik season, on Thursday, October 25th, we will present a daily lecture in MP3 and video form for viewing and download. This series will feature lectures from HH Radhanath Swami, HH Lokanath Swami, HH Dhanurdhara Swami, HH Sacinandana Swami, HG Dina Bandhu Prabhu, HG Malati Prabhu, and many more.

Stay tuned for some serious nectar as we begin the celebration of Kartik here on Nectar Flow.

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
