Question: How can I improve my chanting as a lot of times I come into anxiety for material things and my quality of chanting drops down instead of going up?

Jayapataka Swami: Well it is good that you are analyzing your chanting and you are seeing how good is the quality and you want to improve. That is very good! So there are different ways to improve our chanting. I told one way is to chant the Panca Tattva mantra before because by the mercy of Nitai Gaur we can chant the Hare Krsna mantra without offence. There is also a Krsna nama astakam, I think by Rupa Goswami, and you chant that astakam, it helps you to improve your chanting. It is available in the Srimad Bhagavatam. One prays to the holy name to be forgiven for any offence, and to chant the holy name with better quality. So the holy name is also non-different from Lord Krsna. So that is why we can pray to the holy name as Nama prabhu. Thank you very much. Try to avoid the ten offences to the holy name.
