In reality we have to always do Kirtan. Kirtaniya: Sada Hari: Srila Prabhupada's Gurudev Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur had made a rule of chanting 64 rosaries daily in ISKCON, but considering the condition of us conditioned souls of Kaliyuga, Srila Prabhupada Made a rule of doing 32 rosaries daily instead of 64, but when devotees could not succeed in this too, Srila Prabhupada said that everyone has to do at least 16 rosaries, and not even one less than that.
In the present times, people's lifestyle has become very chaotic. People's minds have become very fickle, although it is very difficult for such people to sit at one place and chant 64 rosaries. Therefore, looking at the condition of all of us, Srila Prabhupada said that we all have to chant at least 16 rounds, not even one less than that.
Actually, Hare Krishna movement is a propaganda movement. Propaganda is the essence. Prabhupada reduced the number of rosaries to complete the preaching work. Personal chanting will not only benefit oneself, but doing publicity work, city sankirtan etc. will also benefit the society.
If we preach and someone gets influenced by our preaching and starts chanting, then we also get benefited. In this way, if we did some chanting and got some people to do it, then we will also benefit from it and others will also be benefited.
Therefore, giving equal importance to the preaching work, the number of rosaries has been reduced. By chanting carefully, the mind, intellect and soul all remain engaged in chanting the name of the Lord. By chanting daily, our mind gets purified and our interest in chanting the name increases further.
As our interest increases, we should increase the number of our rosaries and not be limited to only sixteen rosaries. The more we can chant as per our capacity, the greater will be the benefit.
