mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
Harihi oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: You have to chant 16 rounds every day and follow the regulative principles. Whatever you did till now was a practice. If you do this, you will definitely go back to Godhead. [Audio break] This morning you heard how important it is to distribute books. I hope that you heard earlier about the ten offences to the holy name, etc. Now I will chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra loudly. Please do not chant along with me. After I finish, you can chant:

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare /
Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare!
