The Secret Of Chanting With Bhakti.
\nSacinandana Swami: It\u2019s almost a paradox – only when you stop wanting to enjoy chanting for yourself will the chanting produce unlimited nectar. To understand this mystery we must ask: \u201cWhat is bhakti? What is devotional chanting?\u201d
\nIt means you chant, not for yourself, but for Krishna. \u201cIn what way?\u201d Anukulyena! You do it with a favorable mood \u2013 that of wanting to give pleasure to Krishna. In this way a kirtana leader can think: \u201cI want the devotees to chant nicely and for Krishna to relish their call.\u201d Thus, activity for Krishna is not done mindlessly.
\nKrishna has many expansions; you can chant for Nrsimhadeva\u2019s pleasure or for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Syamasundara, etc.
\nIn general, devotional service means that you must learn to absorb your consciousness in three things so that your activity becomes bhakti (bhakti yoga or devotional service in Krishna consciousness).

\nii. For Krishna
\niii. In a favorable mood
\nThis you have to learn.
\nThis is called bhakti. Such activities are not jnana (to gain knowledge), nor for our liberation, and they are also not karma (for our sense enjoyment). They are for Krishna.
\nWhen you do this, then your practice becomes very sweet, full of taste and you will be able to give up material sense enjoyment even though you may be surrounded by cars, mobile phones and computers.
\nIt is important to perform our devotional practice in this way, for as Srila Prabhupada said:
\n\u201cOnly by drinking the nectar of chanting and hearing the pastimes of the Lord can one forget the intoxication of material existence.\u201d (SB 3.21.17 pp):<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
