it is, but there is a long purport to ituser [166] · 2008-06-07
Please present the purport premasru....it would make very interesting reading.user [296] · 2008-06-08
Im sorry rasa108, I dont have a purport as such, but I would like to research it and come back. Personally, I would say it means chanting the holy name without offense as abhiram said, so it is not so simple as it sounds. There is always a deeper purport to sadhus sayings.user [154] · 2008-06-08
Prabhupada would often chant 12 rounds. Sometimes he would chant more.user [166] · 2008-06-08

There are levels on which the 4 regulations can be followed, and there are levels of purity of chanting. So the best thing is to always depend on the causeless mercy of Lord Caitanya for ones deliverance (Ahaituki Kripa), rather than depending on the strength of ones chanting and strength in following the regulations.user [166] · 2008-06-08

It is the time he spent chanting. Nobody said only, normally..
