Question by Dishiraj Prabhu sometimes I have a problem to sit down and pray because of busy schedules so is it necessary to pray in an orderly manner like the Muslims do five times a day or in busy schedules is it ok to chant the holy names of the lord anywhere you go answer certainly Krishna is so accommodating merciful and gracious that he accepts whatever way we offer our devotion to him so if we chant the holy names wherever time, wherever we are and whenever our schedules allow that is also accepted by Krishna but at the same time if we want to make genuine spiritual advancement and attain real happiness by realizing our spiritual identity by developing our relationship with Krishna then we have to give Krishna due importance in our lives Krishna is a person and he describes in the Bhagavad Gita 4.11 that he reciprocates with us according to how we surrender so therefore if we just as if we consider a person to be important then we give that person exclusive attention if we go to meet somebody and that person is working on a computer and at the same time he speaks to me and I am hearing while I am also doing other work we may still talk with that person but we will feel a bit neglected so then isn’t the same apply to God that if we keep doing other things and also whenever we get little time we chant God names then we are not really considering God to be an important person in our lives therefore we should take out quality time to chant at least a few rounds of Krishna’s holy names everyday ideally speaking if we start our chanting in the morning we will find that it will help us enormously in staying calm, clear and connected with Krishna’s will and guidance as well as our own higher values and purposes so that we can go go effectively through the day’s journey therefore whenever we can we should chant but also we should also take out some quality time to chant preferably early in the mornings. Thank you
