So that is chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, depending on...

As soon as we have got some time, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Either

loudly or silent... As far as possible loudly; if not possible,
silently. But the tongue must go, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa
Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare, Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare
Hare. The tongue must work. And as far as possible, should be
heard... That is... And officially, krkshaharama (Prabhupāda
chants very fast with words running into each other
indistinctly). Not like that (chants again like that) Not like that.
That will not... Every word should be distinctly chanted and
heard, not official. So stress on this point. As far as possible,
people should be encouraged to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra
and try to bring the ecstasy and dance. Even there is no ecstasy,
dance, it will bring ecstasy. Dancing is so nice. Chanting,
dancing and take prasādam. Take rest. That's all. Not that you
shall take rest like Kumbhakarṇa. (Prabhupāda laughs) Just to,
I mean to say, answer the call of this deficient body, we have to
take little rest. But as far as possible this should be conquered.
Nidrāhāra-vihārakādi-vijitau **. The Gosvāmīs, they conquered
over eating, sleeping... Stress on saṅkīrtana, and let them chant
and dance as long as possible. If they can chant and dance
twenty-four hours, that is very good. That should be stressed.
Just see, this boy yesterday, he came, he said, "Oh, I like this
saṅkīrtana very much." Immediately. He was talking of so
much, yoga and this and that, so many nonsense, but he came
this morning. He said, "Oh, I will come again. It is very nice."
Saṅkīrtana has got so power. Stress on saṅkīrtana, chant
yourself, induce others, dance. Whole thing will be a successful.
And especially outside India, these rituals and ceremonials,
that will be simply artificial. They cannot take it seriously. But
saṅkīrtana they can take seriously. This is practical. And if you
recite all the Vedic hymns throughout the whole day they will
join, but they will not benefit out of it. So why should we waste.
Is that all right?
Satsvarūpa: Yes. (Prabhupāda laughs)
