While chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra sometimes the mind deviates and I am not able to concentrate on the chanting. How to obtain the concentration while chanting
the holy name of the Lord always? When Prabhupada was asked this question, he replied very simply --- "Just chant and hear, where is the question of mind?" !! In other words, initially we should try to focus upon just hearing the sound vibration, chant and hear and chant and hear. By practicing like that in a sustained manner, the mind becomes captured between the senses of hearing and speaking. In fact, that is the meaning of mantra: man=mind,
tra=that which delivers. By focusing on the mantra one becomes delivered from the material mind. Setting aside the best part of one's day for chanting, especially the early morning hours
when one is undisturbed by other responsibilities is especially helpful in this effort.
Another more fundamental feature is to try to call upon Krishna from the core of one's heart, in a very prayerful attitude: "My dear Krsna! I am Your eternal servant. Having turned my
attention away from you, I have fallen into this miserable material existence. Let me take shelter of You. Please engage me in Your service." The japa time is thus a period of continuous prayer, calling out to Krishna helplessly, like a lost child crying for its mother. The material mind is just an external feature of the conditioned soul. As Krishna explains in Bhagavad-gita, the soul is higher than the mind and intelligence. When we offer our soul, our very self at the lotus feet of the Holy Name, in a mood of surrender, inattentive and mechanical chanting automatically
ceases.

another something to read:
There are no hard and fast rules in chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Most
standard Vedic mantras are governed by specific rules and prohibitions in chanting; but the holy
names of Lord Krishna and specifically the Hare Krishna maha-mantra can be chanted in any
condition regardless of the time, place or any other consideration.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu confirms this in His Siksastakam prayers (Verse 2)
namnam akari bahudha nija-sarva-saktis
tatrarpita niyamitah smarane na kaalah
"O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus
You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental
names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules
for chanting these names."
Regarding chanting of the Panca-tattva mantra, in the Caitanya Caritamrita, Srila
Prabhupada indicates a general recommendation or instruction that before chanting the Hare
Krishna maha-mantra one must chant the Panca-tattva's names and offer respects to them. There
are ten offenses to be avoided in chanting the Holy Names, but Lord Caitanya and His associates
the Panca-tattva, being the most magnanimous, do not consider any offenses. Thus chanting their
names will enable one to derive the full benefit of chanting the maha-mantra. (See Caitanya-
caritamrta, Adi Lila 7.4 & 8.4)
Many devotees have chanted in this way since the Caitanya Caritamrita was published,
i.e. chanting Panca-tattva mantra before beginning every round of Maha Mantra. Also, many
don't chant the Panca-tattva mantra interspersed within the Maha Mantra. But in either case, the
general principle is to offer respects to the Panca-tattva, who are the inaugurators of the yuga
dharma of chanting Hare Krishna mantra, in order to quickly achieve success in chanting Hare
Krishna purely.

ok...this connection is really irritating me now! im gona chant ok...hey, u shud sleep now dear...dont want to destroy your chanting plans for tomorrow....goodnight!

Hare Krsna...im also having connection problem on this side....very slow! no, wont sleep just yet...thought u were busy before. so did u read that article?

ok...read this:
The Holy Name is non-different from the Person, Krishna; realization of this fact is very important in order to improve our chanting. Thus, surrendering to Krishna is surrendering to the
Holy Name, and vice versa. We can progressively surrender to the Holy Name by placing complete faith in the Holy Name as our only shelter and cultivating the habit of chanting diligently, attentively and in a mood of dependence upon the Lord. Mahaprabhu teaches that one should cultivate humility like that of a blade of grass, become more tolerant than a tree, always
offer all respects to others, without expecting any honor in return. (Cf. Sikshashtaka 3)
Our acharyas have identified the six-fold process of surrender as follows: (1) becoming
completely humble; (2) dedication of one's self, body, mind and words and all one possesses to
the Lord's service; (3) accepting whatever is favorable & (4) rejecting unfavorable to please the
Lord; (5) having complete confidence that Krishna will protect me and (6) seeing Krishna as
one's sole maintainer.
We can conscientiously endeavor to cultivate these qualities in relation to chanting the
Holy Name, such as seeing ourselves as tiny and helpless without the shelter of the Holy Name,
accepting only that which enhances our attraction for the Holy Name, avoiding unfavorable
habits and offenses, developing faith in the protection of the Holy Name, dedicating our body,
