With his blessings and mercy I was able to eventually chant 64 rounds

Hare Krishna! My name is bhakta David. I found out about Srila Prabhupada's teachings at the end of 2008 from a youtube video. I started following the four regulator principles and chanting 16 rounds. I went to study in India for 10 months and was brahmacari for over five years. I found out about Sri Dharmavira Prabhu's teachings in 2016 and continued reading about them in 2017 and finally joined the sangha in 2018. At that time I was only chanting a few rounds a day, so with his blessings and mercy I was able to eventually chant 64 rounds and the method I used was to add one round per day and maintain that until reaching the goal and maintain that consistently. I encourage anyone who's serious about following Srila Prabhupada to read about Sri Dharmavira Prabhu's teachings which are in line with sadhu, shastra and guru to make their life perfect. Hare Krishna!

I'm able to chant 64 Rounds on daily basis
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! My name is Deepak Sharma. I'm working as a software professional at Pune India. Today I am going to share my experience on how I came to the level of chanting 64 rounds of Maha Mantra daily. I am chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra since past six years. I have read lot of books written by our previous Gaudia Vaishnav Acharyas. Gaudia Vaishnav is established by Gauranga Mahaprabhu who is known as combined incarnation of Radha and Krishna in this age of kali yuga. I read lot of references to chant 64 rounds like in Caitanya Bhagavata, Gauranga Mahaprabhu says to their disciple that he would eat foodstuff only in those household householders who chant 64 rounds of Maha Mantra daily. Iskcon Founder Acharya his divine grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada Maharaj, spread Harinama to all over the world from 1969 to 1977. He propagated the teachings of Mahaprabhu as it is.
And established Krishna Consciousness throughout the world. He also wanted his disciples to chant 64 rounds but due to their inability and daily busy schedule he minimized it to 16 rounds. I was also interested to increase my chanting to 64 rounds but same, due to my daily office schedule, I was not even able to chant 16 round consistently. So by divine arrangement of Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, I came in contact with Srila Dharmavira Prabhuji Maharaj. He is direct disciple of Srila Prabhupadaji. His bhajan sadhana is so strong and pure that by his blessings people start chanting 64 rounds within a few days.
I started chanting under Prabhuji guidance and I came to chanting 32 rounds within 3 days. And by his divine blessings I came to the level of chanting 64 rounds within one and half month. Even though I spent 10 hours in office daily, still I'm able to chant 64 rounds on daily basis. This year I met Srila Dharamavira Prabhuji at Radhakund with my family. By Prabhujis blessings my mother and my sister also started chanting 64 rounds of Maha-Mantra within a month. So I request everyone, every devotee and every spiritual aspirant to take blessings and guidance from Sirla Dharmavira Prabhuji to start chanting minimum 64 rounds of Maha-Mantra. Dharmavira Prabhuji is self-realized soul and is empowered directly by Gauranga Mahaprabhu And he is empowering people to chant 64 rounds. One of my friend and his wife they were not even able to chant one round of Maha-Mantara. But by divine association of Dharmavira Prabhuji now they are chanting 64 rounds within a month.
I request all of you to take divine blessing of Srila Dharmavira Prabhuji to make your chanting offenseless and minimum 64 rounds on daily basis. We must take shelter and blessings of self-life soul such as Dharmavira Prabhuji to achieve the goal of our life, that is Krishna prema. At last I would like to say as written in Brihad-Naradiya Purana
In this age of hypocrisy and quarrel, there is only one way there is only one way that is Harinama there is no other way, there is no other way. Srila Prabhupda ki jay, Gaura Bhakta Vrinda ki jay.
Hare Krishna!

https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
I'm into this Krishna Consciousness for more than 15 years. I was into Government service. For a long time I was chanting 16 rounds of japa. For 1 hour and 45 minutes. But inside my heart, I had a strong feeling that I should improve japa by doing more sincere, more serious chanting. Meanwhile I got introduced to Srila ...........After some time, I met Ravindarat Prabhu, who was already into this Harinama group, 1 lakh chanting. He suggested I should chant a crore. I was reluctant, will I be able to spare so much of time, 7-8 hours of chanting. But because of my strong feeling that I should improve my chanting, I joint! After joining, Sri Dharmavira Das Prabhu guided me how to do chanting. He suggested I should rounds chanting a loud. So I started doing japa. And now I'm able to finish off in 4 hours. Almost 48 rounds of japa by 7 o'clock. Rest of the japa I do during the day time. And I feel I'm improving. I'm very thankful to Dharmavira Das Prabhu who is very merciful. He is very keen to liberate. We all, patita souls from the clutches of the maya of this material world. Thank you Prabhuji, I will still improve under your guidance. Thank you all the members in the group. Hare Krishna!

I was able to chant 64 Rounds
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
My name is Ishwari dasi and I'm from Singapore. So we have often heard from sadhus and from shastras the importance and the necessity of associating with pure devotees, self-realized soul. Pure devotees. So in Sri Harinam Cintamani, Sri Haridas Thakura has actually stated that it is extremely necessary for sddhakas to associate with pure devotees in order to overcome naam-aparad. So knowing this I've from a very long time, i've actually had the desire to associate with pure devotees but obviously I don't have the qualification. or the ability to recognize a pure devotee. This only slowly by the mercy of Sri Krishna does one be able to come before the pure devotee. So I begin praying very favourably to Sri Krishna and Caintanya Mahaprabhu and by that grace, in 2018.
I came across the Facebook page of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and also the chanting 64 rounds facebook page. In this page the they have the devotees have posted many posts about naam tattva and sri bhakti tattva. One quote that personally attracted me was the order of Sri Caintanya Mahaprabhu to all grihasta Vaishnavas to chant 64 rounds. Or else Sriman Mahaprabhu
will not accept their offerings. This quote from this order from Sri Caintanya Mahaprabhu impacted me so deeply in the heart. I had once contacted Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu, guruji to actually help me to come to the level of chanting 64 rounds. Actually I had previously tried many times to change 64 rounds but I could only go up to chanting 50 rounds. Even on special occasion I had tried my best but I could not go past 50 rounds.
So I realized that is only by the mercy of the pure devotees, specifically those who have actually realized that Krishna naam and Krishna Himself naam and naami are non-different. One who's realized in their absolute only they'll be able to give us their blessings and mercy for us to actually chant the Holy Name purely also. So I contacted Srila Dharmavira das Prabhu and he gave me his blessings and surprisingly within the next day itself. I was able to chant 64 rounds. Not only that but also but I was also able to chant the Holy Name with more focus and attention which previously I was not able to do. Gradually, I obviously desired the physical association. I wanted to hear more from Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and also have the opportunity to serve him.
So this desire began to grow in my heart and by the blessings of the lord, in 2019 myself and the devotees Madi Saci devi dasi rupe. We were able to go to Sri Radha kund during Karthik mass and we were able to stay there for 8 days. Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu has a very strict schedule in Sri Radhakund. So our program will start from 2 am. So we get up at 2 am in the morning and we do all our morning duties such as bathing getting ready and so on, and by 3 o'clock we report to the Harinama Center. So from 3 am up to 6 am we will be chanting in the association of the guru. And let me say at this point of time it is very um it is a very spiritually enlightening, very uplifting, very powerful, very transcendental um purifying experience because we were sitting in the association of a pure devotee. Who is very dear to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A self-realized soul.
And hearing the transcendental Holy Name that is pouring from his mouth it is very, gives off a very powerful transcendental vibration which also impacted our chanting. We were able to chant with more love and devotion towards the Lord.
Being in the association of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu guruji, I realized that even though my mindset, that it was tired but my material body was never tired.
In fact it was always very um encouraged to do continue to chant the Holy Name and even miraculously I was able to chant 3 lakhs of Harinama in Radhakund under the guidance of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu. So um one of the thing which I noticed about Srila Dhamravira Das Prabhu, this is something that I realized that he is a self-realized soul a pure devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And he is completely surrendered to Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj Srila Prabhupada Maharashi.
Therefore I pray to all devotees those who are interested and even those who are not interested should very importantly take this chance this opportunity to contact Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and take this opportunity to have his guidance and associated. Because it is very rare for us in this material world to find a self-realized souls um in this material world. So we should take this opportunity to contact him and if you are very encouraged and very desiring you should come to Radhakund and you should train under his guidance. With this I end my testimonial.
Hare Krishna!

I've been chanting 64 Rounds and even 300 000 Names
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! Prabhus and Vaishnavis.
My name is Radhapriya devi dasi. Wife of Dharmavira Prabhu.
Today i would like to share with you my realization of chanting.
Harinama which was given to us by Gauranga Mahaprabhu himself. 3 years back when my husband Dharmavira Prabhu decided to reside in Radhakund. He asked me to chance 64 rounds daily. Since then I've been chanting 64 rounds and even 300 000 names. So I encourage everyone to chant 64 rounds of harinam which was given to us by Gauranga Mahaprabhu I believe that everyone can chant 64 rounds if he desires so. If one can spare an hour and a half in the morning noon and evening he will be able to chant 64 rounds. And his particular goloka Vrindavan will eventually open jay Srila Prabhupada, jay Nityananda. Hare Krishna!

Within 3 months, I was able to chant 64 Rounds a Day
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
I'm from Mumbai. In my engineering college days I got attracted to Krishna Consciousness. For many years I used to struggle chanting 16 rounds a day.
Even if I was able to complete 16 rounds, there was no quality or proper attention. In 2017 from a senior devotee friend, I came to know about Sri Dharmavira Prabhu who is a direct disciple of Srila Prabhupada and a self-realized soul. I heard that how his blessings and empowering helped so many devotees worldwide to chant 64 rounds and more and to improve the quality of the japan. So I was amazed to know that a self-realized devotee is empowering students to chant more and more. So I contacted him and he sent me blessings, and he guided me how to chant. The next day I woke up early and I was able to chant complete 32 rounds, to my surprise before noon.
Next 3 days I was able to chant 32 rounds. And I could understand that this is not just a random attempt but it is due to the blessings. So I contacted him again and he sent me further blessings and guided me more, and slowly slowly within three months, I was able to change 64 rounds a day. Since past 3 months I'm able to chant 92 rounds a day. Now I always feel like chanting and Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is further helping me, and guiding me to improve the quality of japa. I'm not revealing my rounds to boost my ego or to show off. But to encourage all the Vaishnavas that we should take the shelter of Harinama and chant try to chant as many rounds as possible. I request everyone to take shelter of Harinama. Hare Krishna!

Dharmavira Prabhu Blessed Me to Chant 100 000 Holy Names Daily
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
And I wanted to share with you my testimonial about how I started chanting 64 rounds or 100 000 Holy Names also known as lakshanam.
First of all I had a strong desire to chant 64 rounds but I thought it was a mission impossible.
It was more than three years ago when I came to idea to pray to be able to chant 64 rounds on the occasion of akshaya tritia. For those who don't know akshaya tritia is a very auspicious day for starting new projects or ventures. It is said that things that you start on this day will last, they will be successful and they will grow expand and multiply.
So I wanted to use the auspiciousness of this day for increasing my increasing my chanting of the Holy Names. The result was that I chanted on that day but only 32 rounds. I continued to chant for some time but only up to 32 rounds and that with a great struggle. I couldn't reach 64 rounds no matter how hard I tried. Finally after some time I had to give up chanting even 32 rounds and I went back to chanting 16 rounds.
Around that time I met Sri Dharmavira Prabhu and accepted him as my guru and my personal guide. After few months, one day it was in september 2015, he blessed me to chant 100 Holy Name 100 000 Holy Names daily and from from that day on I have been chanting 64 rounds without fail. So now you know the mercy of a pure devotee, it made me start chanting 64 rounds immediately which is something I couldn't do with all my power.
I hope this inspires others to start chanting or at least to want to chant and ask blessings from Sri Dharmavira Prabhu.
Seeing living examples in chanting is very inspiring, that's why I make this video not to show off or disclose the number of my rounds publicly to get admiration from others, no!
One of the most important things that I learned from Dharmavir Prabhu is waking up early very early as early as possible and this is the secret of all success, material and spiritual of course it means going to sleep early as well.
As early as 8 p.m or 9 p.m, the latest Dharmavira Prabhu wakes up at around 2 a.m in the morning to chant the Holy Names. He has been doing this every single day for decades it's a great example for me and others to follow.
A year ago I started working full time and I was very afraid if I would be able to continue chanting 64 rounds daily. I also must do so many household duties at home but to my great surprise I have been able to maintain my chanting standard even with such a busy daily schedule. It is due to blessings of Dharmavira Prabhu but also due to my desire to chant and a good organization of daily activities.
Now I want to add few words about the absolute necessity and importance of a bona fide guru. I always knew in my heart that I wanted to have a pure devotee a self-realized soul as my guru. Not just anyone wearing a dress of a guru or being considered guru by ignorant people. I prayed sincerely for a long time to Lord Balaram to send me such a guru. After few great disappointments Sri Balarama and Srila Prabhupada sent me Dharmavira Prabhu.
This serving receiving instructions and chastisement is not possible without a bona fide living guru. Srila Prabhupada said in Bhagavat-Gita chapter 12 verses 8 to 12 in his purport, transcendental life begins when one accepts a bona fide Spiritual Master, it begins only then. Accepting a non-bona fide guru means you haven't even started transcendental life.
Further serving a false guru won't give you any spiritual result, on the contrary you will get karmic reaction as it is ordinary karma-kanda. Likewise the same thing will happen if you hear from and follow instructions of such a false guru. I am not making up anything, this is all written in the shastra by our beloved acharyas.
However serving a pure devotee is not easy, there is always a risk of committing apharad. So one must be very careful enough and aware of that because of you can fall down from mercy of Krishna at any moment without even noticing. All this actually means that goloka-vridavan and Krishna prema is not at all cheap, it's not just chanting few rounds or singing in kirtans and taking prasadam.
Which by the way usually turns into personal sense gratification due to material conditioning from time immemorial. Devotional service of bhakti is far more than that and you will know this when you actually accept a bona fide guru and when you're really serious about your spiritual advancement if you want something cheap you will get cheap things and you will be cheated.
No Krishna prema means no goloka vrindavana. We chant 64 rounds because we want to please Gauranga Mahaprabhu who said that one should chant 100 000 holy names daily as a minimum, and it was him who set the actual chanting standard. In fact 64 rounds is a little bit over 100 100 000 holy names. The concession that Srila Prabhupada gave for 16 rounds as minimum was given for beginners in spiritual life.

Came in contact with such an empowered jiva Dharmavira Prabhu
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! My name is Vraja Vismai das I live in Perth Australia. Today I'm going to share with you my story of how I transitioned from 16 to 64 rounds in a short span of one week. I always had a desire to chant 64 rounds but whoever asked for guidance discouraged me from chanting 64 rounds but my heart was telling me that this was the right thing to do because this was Srila Prabhupada's original instructions to his disciples.
Srila Prabhupada was following the instructions of his guru maharaja Srila Bhakti Sidhantha Saraswati who also instructed his disciples to chant 64 rounds. So if we trace back like this we'll find that these instructions have come from Gauranga Mahaprabhu Krishna himself who is a Super Soul in everyone's heart giving ordinary souls like us a secret of how to return back to him through his empowered jivas like Srila Prabhupada by good fortune.
I also came in contact with such an empowered jiva Dharmavira Prabhu. Dharmavira Prabhu is a disciple of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He is a true sadhu a self-realized soul who has taken up Gauranga Mahaprabhu's mission very seriously and is guiding ordinary souls like us on how to chant 64 rounds. when I first came across Dharmavira Prabhu's facebook page on chanting 64 rounds I read all his instructions and lessons on chanting 64 rounds, I was inspired to meet him but for some unforeseeable reason I wasn't able to meet him when I was in India.
Then Dharmavira Prabhu made an announcement on his facebook page that he will be giving personal guidance to anyone who is interested to chant 64 rounds and that he's starting a new Whatsapp group. I immediately registered for that group and started taking personal guidance from Dharmavira Prabhu on chanting 64 rounds. Before I proceed further I would like to give you some background about me, I'm a mechanical engineer by profession, I have a young family I'm the sole earner of the family and I'm away from home 10 to 12 hours per day. So when I started taking instructions from Dharmavira Prabhu I committed myself to chant only 32 rounds and promised that I'll slowly increase it to 64 rounds. On the first day I was able to chant 32 rounds and within a week I was able to chant 64 rounds. I was amazed as I could feel there is some higher power that is empowering me to chant 64 rounds. In fact I had suddenly developed this taste for chanting and wanted to chant more and more. Then I realized that this higher power is coming from Gauranga Mahaprabhu through his empowered jivas. As I was following Gauranga Mahaprabhu's instructions however as soon as I started chanting 64 rounds maya in the guise of a devotee friend family members and even my mind came up with all kinds of excuses of why I shouldn't chant 64 rounds.
But if you are determined to chant 64 rounds Gauranga Mahaprabhu will help you it's been over seven months since I started chanting 64 rounds if I can chant 64 rounds with a young family and busy work schedule so can you. So please take up this good fortune contact Dharmavira Prabhu now. Don't listen to your mind, start chanting 64 rounds now and go back home back to Godhead Srila Prabhupada ki jay, Harinama Prabhu ki jay, Hare Krishna

Blessings of Sri Dharmavira Prabhu to Chant 64 Rounds
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna, My name is Ramanada Raya Das. I am going to share about chanting 64 rounds and the experiences with Sri Dharmavira Prabhu. Before that chanting 64 rounds daily is one of the basic rules and regulations in Sri Gaudiya Vaisnava siddhanta.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu set standard of chanting, 100000 names or 64 rounds daily for Only grihastas who are engaged in household works and He told that then only'I will take prasadam in their house'.
. It is given in Caitanya Bhagawat.. Similarly, when Srila Prabhupada went to western countries, the foreigners were not able to chant 64 rounds daily., So he reduced to 32 rounds and then further reduced to minimum 16 rounds.
Because at least by chanting 16 rounds. They should be able to engage in chanting method and then by getting namaruchi' they should be able to increase the chanting to 64 rounds gradually.. Hence for that place and circumstances he reduced to minimum 16 rounds.
. But today many of us think that chanting 16 rounds daily is maximum.. The truth is that we still have not raised our chanting rounds to the basic standard of chanting based on Gaudiya Vaisnava siddhanta.
, So for this, how to chant 64 rounds daily? I approached Sri Dharmavira Prabhu some years back. In this contact. He gave me his blessings and helped me to chant 64 rounds daily., So I gradually raised from chanting 16 rounds to 64 rounds daily.
In this. What is important is that his blessings make our determination very strong to chant 64 rounds daily. Also when we go gradually to 64 rounds. The surrounding situation also favours the chanting of the Holy name.
. It is very surprising to see. Not only that one will attain chanting of 64 rounds within the short period of time, because the blessings of Sri Dharmavira Prabhu plays a very important role.. One should experience this and then only one can understand the divine importance of his blessings.
Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is a Sat-Guru.. That means he is completely self-realized soul and uttama Bhakta of Lord Krishna., But in this kind of age, finding a self-realized soul is rare, which is confirmed by Sri Krishna in Bhagavad gita.
. This has also been confirmed by the vaisnava siddhanta literatures, like Jaiva, dharma and Hari-Bhakti-Vilas., But by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The uttama bhakta, like Sri Dharmavira Prabhu, is available now.
. Hence I request every one that we should utilize his expertise in how to chant Hare. Krishna Maha mantra properly.. Similarly, in Hari-Bhakti-Vilas literature, Sanatana Goswami has clearly mentioned about the relation between Guru and disciples.
, In that one bhakta should spend at least one year with his Guru and study him properly and serve him.. Similarly, the Guru also should study that student properly and understand him fully. Then he should accept him as disciple, and vice versa.
Guru can be a kanistha adhikari or Madhyama adhikari or uttama adhikari level. One gets Guru by the mercy of Krishna and it is based on that person’s desire and faith in Bhakti.. Here, Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is not only an uttama bhakta but also dedicated his whole life to serve others.
. Hence we should somehow or other make use of Sri Dharmavira Prabhu for performing the yuga dharma of kali yuga the sankirtana properly and attain the highest benefit of sankritana Krishna prema in this life.

I was fortunate to get to meet my Guru Sri Dharmavira Prabhu
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! Pranaam to all Vaishnavas. My name is Devarishi Narad Das, from Samana, Punjab. First of all I would like to offer obeisances to my Guru Sri Dharmavira Das Prabhu. I am fallen soul, I was faithful towards religion but I had nobody to guide me.
I was not able to accept anyone as Guru. I used to think that in this material world I am everything and that is better, nothing I could see bonafide. But due to Lord’s mercy and due to association of Madhavendra Puri Das, I was fortunate to get to meet my Guru Sri Dharmavira Prabhu and from there my spiritual life started.
And then at Sri Radha Kund first time I ate khichdi prepared by Guru Mata (wife of Guru) and that taste still today lingers on my tongue. By seeing Guruji’s simple eating, simple lifestyle my life also started to change.
Guruji blessed me to chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Fallen soul like me who was not able to chant 1 or 2 rounds in a day but now was able to chant 16 rounds slowly. From my Guruji who is pure and self-realized I was able to experience Paramatma’s divinity.
In due course of time I managed to succeed chanting 64 rounds i.e. 1 lac Harinama daily. This was possible only by receiving positive vibration and guidance from Guruji. By my Guru’s blessing now my wife Pooja also started chanting 16 rounds and my kids also chant with us for sometime.
Earlier in our house no food was prepared without onion and garlic, but now due to blessings from Guruji in our house onion and garlic is banned. I belong to business family and my business hours are from morning 9am to night 8pm but even with such busy schedule just due to blessing from Guru I am able to chant 64 rounds, 1 lac Harinama daily.
If all of you want to make this life successful and want to become Krishna conscious and want to receive blessings and mercy of Guruji then please contact Sri Dharmavira Prabhu. Hare Krishna!

I Thought To settle at Vrindavan Dham at Old Age, and Chant 64 Rounds
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! My name is Ganga Devi Dasi and today I am submitting my testimonial as how I started chanting 64 rounds. From childhood by seeing my parents as my mother used to chant, I learned chanting and I used to do chanting on beads.
Slowly, slowly as I joined ISKCON my interest increased. When I heard that Sriman Mahaprabhu does not accept offering from those who don’t chant 64 rounds, then I thought maybe I will be able to chant 64 rounds one day.
I used to think it’s impossible to chant 64, even if someone asked me; I used to think this is impossible. By staying in Grihasta life chanting 64 rounds is very difficult. Whenever I used to offer obeisances to Srila Prabhupada I used to pray that maybe I am able to chant 64 rounds and that day may come.
I used to think that when I will settle at Vrindavan Dham at old age, then I will be able to chant 64 rounds. I used to pray daily to Srila Prabhupada that 'when I will be able to chant 64 rounds', meaning 1 lac Harinama.
Then one time I saw in one WhatsApp group Madhavendra Puri das who has taken shelter of Guruji (Sri Dharmavira Prabhu). He wrote one day in group that whoever wants to sincerely chant 64 rounds, should contact him.
I was doing 16 rounds and that too not properly, in that also half was in morning and remaining in evening, and I was not able to concentrate. So I thought let me give it a try to learn 64 rounds, no worries I will chant 32 rounds.
Or at least maybe 16 rounds will be done properly, and I might get useful tips. So I contacted him and he told me that I should contact His Holiness Dharmavira Maharaj, so I contacted him. At initial stage He was reluctant thinking maybe I am not serious about 64 rounds.
He asked me few questions like what I do, and how I do and I was very much materially inclined so he thought that I am not serious. So initially he just casually said 'ok you try chanting 64 rounds'. So I tried 2-3 days and I thought it is impossible but I then contacted him again and again and I requested him and then he asked me some questions like He took test of me to understand my seriousness.
Then he understood that there is some seriousness in me that I want to chant 64 rounds. So then he blessed me and he empowered me to chant 64 rounds. Initially I thought there is no importance of empowerment but after his blessing and empowerment I don’t know how but miracle happened like a magic.
10 days before Kartik month I tried chanting 64 rounds. In the beginning I could chant 25-32 rounds and I could go maximum up to 40 rounds. Slowly I increased and within a 1 week I was able to chant 64 rounds.
But then I thought this is temporary phase, and then I thought no worries I will chant only in Kartik month, and afterwards I will see whether I can maintain or not. I was able to chant 64 rounds for entire Kartik month and I thought I will do it till I can manage, and if not possible then I will quit.
Later I contacted Him again and again and He gave me shiksha: He tought me how to do it and guided me and empowered me further and due to Lord’s mercy I am able to chant minimum 64 rounds till date.
I used to think that being a grihastha it is impossible to chant 64 rounds but really due to his blessing and his empowerment not just 64, we can chant double and triple of that. It is not at all difficult: you just need strong willpower, you need guidance, you need empowerment and you need to follow a routine in life and we all can chant.
64 Rounds
I am not sharing all this to make a show, I am saying this with all my humility. I am saying as I am able to chant 64 and sometime more than that because you all can also chant. If a person like me who was so materially inclined can chant, then you all can chant 100%.
You just need guidance and please receive blessings from him. Whoever is serious in bhakti, you all please take blessings from Sri Dharmavira Maharaj. Really I don’t know but what magic is there in his blessing and in his empowerment that you all be able to chant 64 rounds.
If you are all serious then please contact him and try to chant minimum 64 rounds daily. Guruji says we all can go to Sri Goloka in this very lifetime, it is not that difficult. You just need strong willpower and you need blessing of pure Vaishnava and his guidance.
We cannot call anyone a pure Vaishnava: only the one who is realized, one who can bless, he is pure Vaishnava. And with his blessing you can go to Goloka. Guruji says we can go to Goloka in this very lifetime, it’s not like that you need many births.
You just need blessing of pure self-realized soul and His shelter. By Sadhu sanga everything is possible, in this very life time you can go to Goloka. You all chant 64 rounds, just like I am able to chant you all can chant too.
Hare Krishna!

Chanting Harinama 64 Rounds is Difficult for Grihasta like me
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
Hare Krishna! My name is Madhavendra Puri Das and I am from Punjab. My journey in Krishna bhakti started in year 2008 when I first went to Vrindavan Dham and Srila Prabhupada in his Samadhi Mandir, bestowed his mercy on me and planted seed of Krishna Bhakti in my heart.
Then I read his books and according to his instructions I started following 4 regulative principles and chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra 16 rounds. Just like in every sadhaka’s life most important person is Sri Guru so I used to pray to Lord so I can meet my Guru as early as possible.
This desire of mine got fulfilled in year 2016 when my younger son Gauranga took birth. My son Gauranga had kidney problems from birth, but as Srila Prabhupada said whatever sorrow or struggles in life we get, we should accept as Krishna’s mercy, I also accepted it same way and in reality it was a blessing in disguise.
Because in search of treatment for son’s illness, I came in contact with my Guru Maharaj Sri Dharmavira Das Prabhu. I came to know that there is a Srila Prabhupada’s disciple who stays there and does bhajan and also treats patients through Sanjeevani Energy.
When I contacted him, he said to me that he will give Sanjivani healing to my son but I need to chant 1 lac Harinama daily. Now to chant 1 lac Harinama is difficult for grihasta like me and I had tried in the past but I did not succeed.
So I refused him saying it is very difficult for me but he assured me that he will give Sanjivani healing to my son and also he will give shiksha as how to chant along with his blessings. Then I went to Radha Kund and took shiksha for chanting Mahamantra and received blessing from him.
Due to this I could chant 32 rounds very next day. Then on 25th day I chanted 64 rounds and continuously for 3-4 days I was able to chant 64 rounds. This was very surprising as I was not able to chant earlier and was struggling but after Guru’s blessing I started chanting 64 rounds daily.
Then I realized that from whom I received blessing, he is not an ordinary devotee, he is Lord’s pure devotee and he is Nama Nishtha. As our Acharyas and Srila Prabhupada wrote in their books that we need to associate with pure devotee and chant in his association, and we need to chant under guidance of pure devotee, I also started chanting under guidance of Guruji.
And gradually my wife also took blessing from him and started chanting 1 lac Harinama daily. Later in Kartik month in 2019 Guruji gave us Harinama initiation and accepted us as disciples and we were first devotees whom he gave Harinama initiation.
Chanting early morning at 3am at the banks of Sri Radha Kund, in Guruji's association is an experience beyond words. Our acharyas wrote in books that when we chant in the association of pure devotee then vibrations of Love for Krishna from pure devotee’s heart reach our hearts and purify our hearts and we slowly elevate from Nama apradha or Namabhas chanting towards pure chanting of the holy name.
Guruji also taught us that we should only listen Hari Katha from lips of pure devotee and whether someone is having great knowledge of scriptures or someone is doing melodious kirtan or someone is expert in delivering talks but if he is not pure devotee, if he is not self-realized then we are not going to get much benefit and such person cannot give us Krishna.
Only that person can give us Krishna, who has Krishna. In last 5 years, I have seen many sadhakas taking blessings from Guruji and saw their transition from 16 rounds to 64 rounds and everyone’s experiences are mesmerizing.
I request every sadhaka that pure devotees are very rare but by Lord’s grace if we are getting association of pure devotee then we should not waste that opportunity and we should start our bhajan under guidance of such pure devotee so that in this very life we can see Lord Sri Krishna and go back to Godhead.
Thank you, Hare Krishna

Krishna Consciousness and Eternal Body
https://www.prabhupadaharinam.org
According to the ancient Vedic tradition, the universe is made up of the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. These are called tattvas, the principal categories of natural phenomena. Each of the elements is associated with one of the five senses, one of the five organs of action, one of the five organs of perception and one of the five pranas.
Krishna Consciousness means getting that transcendental body that is eternal blissful, full of Knowledge and completely free from all sufferings. It is nothing but the eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna and His pure devotees.
We live in a world that is perpetually changing. As it is changing, we are constantly adapting to it. This is "Maya", or The Great Illusion, that Sri Krishna speaks of in Bhagavad Gita. As we journey through life, we begin to lose sight of things such as what we truly want or what our spiritual values are. We need to set down real spiritual goals for ourselves in order to give our life true meaning and not get caught up in the illusion that the world brings. It is important to focus on Krishna Consciousness or God Consciousness. It is also important to remain humble and inquisitive and not get caught up in the worldly success we may have. When we do this, we qualify ourselves to found by a bona fide Acharya.

Hare Krishna Prabhus in Vaishnavies.
Songs by our Vaishnava Acharyas, Govinda das Takhura. Bhaje Hure Mana. Govind das thakura was a great poet and vaishnav. In Bhagavad Gita it is sad. If you have your mind controlled, he is your best friend. If your mind is uncontrolled, he is your greatest enemy. Both your friend and enemy is sitting with you. If you can utilize the friendship of the mind, then you are elevated to the highest perfectional stage. But if you create your mind as your enemy, then your path to hell is clear! You always engage your mind in Krishna Consciousness. Then your mind becomes automatically controlled. If the mine does not have a chance to engage in no other business, accept Krishna Consciousness, Then he cannot become your enemy. Then your mind automatically becomes your friend. That is the instruction in the Shrimad Bhagavatam. King Ambarish first of all engaged his mind on the lotus feet of Sri Krishna. If you take shelter of the lotus feet Of Shri Krishna, you immediately become fearless.
The question may arise. If you take full shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Krishna, then how will you enjoy your family like wife, daughter, mother, etc? Govinda das advises, you don't waste your life in that way. This human form of life is really rare. Out of many millions of births, you got this opportunity to get free from repeated birth and death. My dear mind you don't go anywhere, You just associate with pure devotees. Then you will be able to cross over the ocean of nescience. My mind, you want to enjoy your family, wealth and youthful ages?
Do you think there is any transcendental pleasure in these nonsense things? No. It is simply illusion. How long will you get pleasure in these nonsense things? This sort of pleasure is flickring. And for that purpose you are working so hard day and night. Are you not ashamed of this? And you don't know how long you'll enjoy this life. This life is tottering. Just like there is water on the lily leaf and it is tilting. And at any moment it can fall down. Our life is just like that. It is tilting. And at any moment it may collapse.
Don't waste your life in all these temporary things. Just engage your mind always in Krishna Consciousness for eternal happiness. How to discharge this Krishna Consciousness. Just chant this maha-mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama with absorption and the guidance of a pure devotee of Sri Krishna. This is the only process recommended in Kali Yuga. Thank you very much. Hare Krishna!
