নির্জন-বনে কুটির করি’ তুলসী সেবন ।
রাত্রি-দিনে তিন লক্ষ নাম-সঙ্কীর্তন ॥ ১০০ ॥
nirjana-vane kuṭira kari’ tulasī sevana
rātri-dine tina lakṣa nāma-saṅkīrtana

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.

Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.

Haridāsa Ṭhākura replied that their deliverance would be possible if they very loudly chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, for hearing the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra chanted loudly, even with but little realization, would help them.
