Question: We know that chanting our rounds is our utmost priority. But sometimes there is an urge to do other things. Can you share some general things we should consider whether we should do the activity or japa?

Jayapataka Swami: Chanting 16 rounds a day takes one and a half to two hours. So I think there are 24 hours a day. So somehow you have to adjust that you can do both. Consider sleeping takes 6 to 7 hours, eating may be 1½ so like that there should be some time for service.
