Steady Chanting Through the Night

“In this way, as he chanted and chanted, the morning approached, and when the woman saw that it was morning, she got up and left.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 3.244, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Haridāsa Ṭhākura continued chanting as the morning approached.
  • When the woman saw that it was morning, she got up and left.
  • Her presence did not interrupt his chanting. His attention remained with Kṛṣṇa and His holy name.
