Question: Chanting means we are praying to the Lord to engage us in His service. But isn’t chanting itself a service to guru and Krsna? Will more and more chanting lead to ragamayi bhakti. Does more and more chanting constitute ragamayi bhakti?

Jayapataka Swami: More and more chanting can be an expression of ragamayi bhakti, but that is not definite. There may be various levels of purity in one’s chanting.  So there is offensive chanting, clearing chanting, offenseless chanting. So one has to see what level one’s chanting is on. If one is very proud and chanting very offensively, that may not be a sign of ragamayi bhakti. Hare Krsna.
