what I feel it's continuing to give me because here I am yeah 37 years later um still practicing it

staying on that path happy that I'm on that path feeling like I'm understanding it more

as the time goes on,

feeling that it's becoming more dear to me and more special to me or more precious to me.

Feeling more and more convinced that I understand who I am and where I am and what I'm meant to do.

Feeling a sense of happiness from things related to Krishna

and losing a sense of happiness and things disconnected from Krishna.

That goes stronger and deeper and deeper.

That further convinces me that I'm doing the right thing.

And I believe that it's that name that's

great. And you could say, well, how do you know and how can you prove that? I may not be able to

prove it to you, but one thing I say is I find that when the people stop chanting, the path

falls apart for them. You know, it's like it is a life lying to the spiritual realm. Yeah, it's a, that, that holy name, you know, Hardian, go low care to pray Madonna, you know,

Haryanaanaanaana, that name is descending from the spiritual world.

It is, you know, the text tell us that it is non-different from Krishna, that it is pure,

wish-fulfilling, transcendental sound, spiritual sound.

And if people let it go, if they're given that precious lifeline and they neglect it,

I do see that they lose the ability to live a better life.

And they begin to search for happiness through material things.

And it's always disappointing.

So that's what it does for me.

You know, it's keeping me alive spiritually.
