overview

Description: Most of us are aware of why chanting is important and the benefits it brings, but many may not know how to develop a taste for it. This can make chanting feel tedious at times. Through His poetic prayers in glorification of chanting (Siksastaka) Lord Chaitanya offers guidance on how to recognize and address this challenge. The good news is that everyone has the opportunity to deepen their love for chanting through a simple yet effective method.
