This is Krishna. Now Take Him

Just image a person who manifests everything that exists out of His transcendental body, who is so powerful that not even a blade of grass can move without His sanction, who is so kind that no matter how much you neglect Him He still has unlimited love for you, who is so attractive that anyone who comes into His contact cannot help but fall madly in love with Him, who is so sweet that anything else besides Him is by comparison unbearably bitter, who isso funny that He can make everyone laugh uproariously, who is so serious that He can make everyone very sober even the most frivolous buffoons, who plays His flute so artistically with such unlimited depth of beautiful emotions that He can make everyone cry pools of tears in ecstasy, who is so accessible that even though He is the supreme superstar you can have Him exclusively as your personal companion, and who has so many unlimited wondrous qualities that I could go on writing this sentence infinitely for all of eternity. (Do I need to stop?) This is Krishna. Now take Him!

Amazingly Beautiful Krishna

Question: How to Chant Meditatively?

I am a regular reader of your wonderful messages for the past two years. Recently you mentioned to chant meditatively. Please explain this. Another question: How to get rid of Vaisnava aparadha (offenses towards devotees) or other offences? It is prescribed by our acaryas to chant constantly, but my level is very low. Attentive chanting is very difficult because of my inability to stay focused on the Krishna's holy names. How then devotees like me can attain the platform of constant chanting

Thanks,
Your servant,

Answer: Like Sucking a Tasty Piece of Candy

Meditatively chanting means that just as one sucks on a piece of candy relishing its sweet flavor within one's mouth, in a similar way one savors the sweet flavor of offering one's heart to Krishna when He so mercifully appears in the form of His holy names.

To be free from Vaisnava aparadha (offenses toward devotees), you should always respectfully and lovingly serve the devotees and worship them within you heart. The other offenses are listed in the Nectar of Devotion. Simply study the lists and carefully avoid these offenses. If you are always respectful to the devotees, the other offenses are easy to avoid. 

If you chant meditatively as described above, you will get so much taste from the name that your chanting will automatically be attentive.
