Question: If a young devotee gets lot of responsibilities in ISKCON, should he focus in spending more time in service or to complete his basic sadhana nicely or should he focus on spending more time in sadhana or complete whatever he can in eight hours of service?

Jayapataka Swami: To chant 16 rounds takes maximum two hours and there are 24 hours in a day. So you can chant and worship Krsna in 3 or 4 hours maximum. In festival time you can engage in devotional service. So we should do our sadhana bhakti and the remaining time we should engage in serving Krsna, by reading His books.
