Chant the Holy Name Undisturbed
“Haridāsa Ṭhākura constructed a cottage in a solitary forest. There he planted a tulasī plant, and in front of the tulasī he would chant the holy name of the Lord 300,000 times daily. He chanted throughout the entire day and night.”
What the purport teaches
- Haridāsa Ṭhākura planted a tulasī plant before his cottage and chanted the holy name 300,000 times daily. His chanting continued throughout the day and night.
- As the ācārya of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, he is called Nāmācārya Haridāsa Ṭhākura.
- His personal example shows the simplicity of chanting and becoming elevated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The purport encourages sitting in a simple place and chanting undisturbed before tulasī.
