Mood of devotion

~ The bliss of Lord Chaitanya ~

"The main thing is to fix your mind on the sound of the chanting. As you strain and yearn to keep your attention fixed, this naturally brings a mood of devotion.This is the way you serve the holy name. Just as when cooking, if you try very hard not to burn the preparation, to spice it nicely, and to keep it cooking nicely, then you express your devotion in this way."

~ Satsvarupa dada Goswami (ISKCON Japa Group blog)

The sweet, incessantly purifying
fire of my mantra japa devotion
is a gift from guru and Sadguru
