Guidelines For Japa - Part 1


Sometime ago I wrote a 10 part series on avoiding offenses to the Holy names. Today I was reading a very good article written by Mahanidhi Swami and came across some very nice guidelines to help us with our Japa, so I thought I would start an 8 part series based on these guidelines.
