Japa Books By Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami (4 Books Combo Pack)
Japa Walks Japa Talks - When devotees ask me if I'd like to go on a japa walk with them, I think, ''You say japa walk, but you mean japa talk." Their proposal is that we will walk together, preferably in a scenic, peaceful place, and both chant on our beads. What usually happens, though, is that as soon as we enter the wooded path or start our circumambulation of the temple building-we start to talk.Is that wrong? Does it ruin the japa walk? I don't want to say that talking is bad, as long as it is not prajalpa. Friends help each other is Krishna consciousness, share their realizations, and inspire each other with Krishna-katha when they speak confidentially. It's good to break our isolated silences.
Japa Reform Notebook - It is essential that everyone fulfil a specific vow to chant the Hare Krishna Mantra. Therefore, we have prescribed in our society that all our students must chant at least sixteen rounds daily. Such chanting must be offenseless in order to be of high quality. Mechanical chantign is not as powerful as chanting name without offences. Caitanya Caritamrta Adi lila 10.43 Purport
Japa Transformation - The book was seen as quite radical or even inappropriate. How could a senior devotee, revered as a renunciant and as an adept spiritual teacher, so openly communicate his own personal challenges in the practice of chanting Hare Krishna? Yet others were enlivened to see that a frank discussion of the challenges to pure chanting was being aired... As in the previous book, Goswami locates himself as both a student and a teacher, as one who continues to learn from his own guru and who aims to help others benefit from what he learns. In this book he asks readers to spend time with him as he questions the extent and depth of his own successes and the meaning of occasional apparent setbacks in practice as he takes one through a sustained personal meditation on the eight verses of the Siksastakam, Sri Caitanya's verses that encapsulate his teachings.
