*How much time should I spend chanting?*
As a practice, we should fix some minimum number of mantras to chant daily. We chant on a mala containing 108 beads. If we chant 108 times on beads, that is considered βone round.β So, like that we can chant on round, two rounds, etc. Hereβs an interesting calculation:
1 Day = 24 hours; 1 hour = 1/24, or ~ 4% of 1 day; 15min ~ 1% of 1 day
In the beginning, it will take around 7-8 minutes to complete one round. Soβ¦
2 rounds ~ 15 mins = 1% of 1 day; 4 rounds ~ 30 mins = 2% of 1 day
That means if one chants four rounds every day, he is only giving 2% of his time. God has given us twenty-four hours. Canβt we give even 1% or 2% of our time to remember Him? Think of how much time we spend every day sleeping or eating or even watching television! For an important activity like japa, shouldnβt we set aside a good amount of time every day? Initially, one may begin with four rounds or two rounds daily and as benefits are perceived one may increase his commitment to japa.
