Having difficulty chanting.
October 19 , 2007
Hare Krishna.
Concerning your current difficulty in regularly chanting Hare Krishna please do not be discouraged. Rather redouble your efforts to sincerely take shelter of Lord Krishna's Holy Names. Taking to spiritual life and abandoning the misconception of ourselves being the supreme enjoyer is certainly a difficult task. We are basically declaring war on maya (illusion) and any time there is war the enemy with employ all clever tactics to gain victory. So maya is creating this diversion in order to dissuade and you must counterattack with determination, knowing that Krishna is on your side and your victory is assured. By providing sound spiritual direction to Arjuna on the Battlefield of Kurushetra Krishna is providing us all the detailed directions on how we can win this battle with His illusory energy and emerge victorious.
Just remember that this illusory material energy is working under His direction and our only means of conquest is by His divine intervention on our behalf. You concern in regards to chanting His Holy Names is evidence of your desire to advance spiritually and Krishna will certainly help. So please, like Arjuna, again take up the powerful weapon of regulated chanting despite any false objections the of the mind. The difficulties will quickly pass as Krishna sees your determination and personally comes to your aid.
Wishing you all success in your renewed and determined efforts.
Sincerely,
Dulal Chandra dasa
