During chanting, can we experience the holy name touching the soul?
Nice to meet you intelligence or we have experience the soul, we have experience Krishna depending on the characteristics of each of these elements and depending on the kind of experience that we are having at particular times we can recognize certain experiences to be attributable to certain sources or certain phenomena there is no need to become too hyper intellectual about these things the point is that when we have a have a experience that intensifies our remembrance of Krishna when we have an experience that helps us move closer to Krishna when we have an experience that detaches us from the phenomena that or from the experiences that take us away from Krishna and that kind of experience we should understand is the experience of Krishna that means the soul has been activated and the soul is experiencing Krishna so when the ultimately whenever we chant that sound vibration is coming from the soul but although it comes from the soul it may not necessarily go to the soul that means it comes from the soul the soul speaks it, comes from our heart through our tongue and then goes to our ears and if the mind is attentive it goes to the mind and reaches the soul again and that means when the sound vibration which is the soul, sound vibration is itself Krishna so to the extent we focus on Krishna and we connect with Krishna that means the sound vibration is reaching Krishna that's how we can recognize by the experience of a higher spiritual sense of peace, power, pleasure purification broad things like this we can sense that yes sound vibration is actually reaching Krishna sound vibration is reaching the soul and is connecting the soul with Krishna.
