Sri Govardhana
Japa Thought V
I felt bad this morning; digestion was not complete, sleep was interrupted— I felt fatigued. On such days, in terms of chanting, I almost feel like, &amp;#8220;What&amp;#39;s the use?&amp;#8221; To my surprise I had my best chanting this month by far, despite being challenged from a yogic perspective. I contemplate [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WavesOfDevotion/~4/451260642" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Sri Govardhana
Japa Thought IV
Concentration is a faculty of the mind. To be a successful chanter it must be activated. In Bhajan Rahasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur recommends how: give special focus to just one couplet of the name. A friend similarly advised, &amp;#8220;concentrate on one mantra at a time with single-mindedness.&amp;#8221; It’s the same [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WavesOfDevotion/~4/451259496" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Srila Prabhupada&amp;#39;s Disappearance Day Festival
Sri Govardhana
I&amp;#39;m scheduled to speak next. Suddenly the gateman shows up at the temple door. A delivery awaits me downstairs.  I&amp;#39;ve been pushing the printers to have my book, Japa Mediations: Contemplations on the Holy Name, ready by Karttika, but as usual, despite all promises, it was delayed.

Vrindavana
Today I tagged along with Indradyumna Swami and BB Govinda Swami on their daily morning jaunt around Vrindavana at 4:00 AM. It&amp;#39;s quite dark. While passing the Yamuna I heard sounds of joy to my left. The sounds were coming from a group of twenty or thirty pilgrims bathing in the early morning [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WavesOfDevotion/~4/433552095" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Sri Govardhana
Austerity
According to the Bhagavad-gita, one of the symptoms of austerity in the mode of goodness is satisfaction of the mind (prasadamanah). It seems contradictory. How can something pleasing, such as satisfaction of the mind, be an austerity?
Austerity means to tolerate the pushing of the mind and senses for a higher cause. Satisfaction [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WavesOfDevotion/~4/433552096" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Sri Govardhana
Cooperation
Karttika means Vaisnava-sanga every night. It’s a thoughtful group; we read for two hours, first from Bhagavad-gita and then Caitanya-caritamrita. We patiently hear and if something needs clarification we consider it from different angles to elicit a clearer meaning.  
One concept discussed today was cooperation. Cooperation, it was concluded, is difficult [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WavesOfDevotion/~4/433550732" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Sri Govardhana
My book, Japa Meditations: Contemplations on the Holy Name, is coming out by the end of the month. It describes over seven years of Karttika &amp;#8220;Japa Thoughts&amp;#8221;. This year I wasn&amp;#39;t planning to focus on another journal for Karttika. &amp;#8220;How many &amp;#8216;Japa Thoughts&amp;#8217; could I come up with?&amp;#8221; I thought.

Sri Vrindavan  Dhama  
What is Vaisnava Sanga?
I just returned from a very spiritual uplifting pilgrimage  to Sri Jagannatha Puri. I felt I got a taste of gaura-lila, not just the bhava of the devotees towards the Lord, but the open spirited devotion between the  devotees in gaura-lila themselves.
