Improving Chanting

Digest 00727: How to continue chanting when getting stuck due to stammering after few rounds?

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: I am chanting for a few years. During my chanting, after I complete around 5 or 6 rounds, I find it tough to complete the mantra. I get stuck due to stammering. Can you please help me how to address this issue?

Answer by Romapada Swami:

It may become difficult for you to chant with the issue you have mentioned. In that scenario, please continue to somehow keep chanting by attending to clear articulation or pronunciation of the sound of each name, starting  from the beginning, and staying with this attention to hearing the sound audibly and clearly.

You can also sincerely pray to Krishna to give you the strength and ability to keep chanting. When Krishna sees our sincere desire to serve Him, He can award us situations which are conducive to carry out our service, in this case it is to help you to continue chanting. If it is causing too much trouble, then you can take some break in your chanting for few minutes or hours and then continue to complete your rounds.
