Finally it was 16 on Tuesday, the Chinese New Year day 2. It took me around one hour forty five minutes which is same as it used to be before. Next steps should be to continue it, reduce on TV, movies, etc. easily said then done. Today I got late and will have to chant in evening after office. Seems I am forcing on myself but the beauty of chanting is that it makes you responsible towards itself and you don’t want to break the daily pattern.
For time being I can continue chanting to get the sense of achievement on daily basis without worrying about whether I like it or not or I am forcing it on myself or not. Anyway I am forcing my job on myself, I am forcing so many other things on my myself which I don’t like and I am avoiding many thing I like again forcing myself not to do those things. If I compare all of these forcing chanting on myself is very good option apart from the fact within those two hours of chanting some pleasure also comes. One has to only start it once reaching the end of 16th round becomes very easy then. That doesn’t means that 16 is the one I myself believe in but I have conditioned myself to do 16 round in past should at least become consistent in that.

Quotes
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's order in Chaitanya Caritamrita was everyone should practice Krishna Consciousness and give it to everyone. Take up Krishna Consciousness and distribute it to everyone we meet.
*********************************************
A person acting in the service of Krsna with body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities. (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.187)
*********************************************
Pure devotional service can be attained only when it is uncontaminated with jnana and karma.
*********************************************
anasaktasya visayan
yatharham upayunjatah
nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe
yuktah vairagyam ucyate
prapancikataya buddhya
hari-sambandhi-vastunah
mumuksubhih parityago
vairagyah phalgu kathyate
When one is not attached to anything but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Krsna, one is rightly situated above possessiveness. On the other hand, one who rejects everything without knowledge of its relationship to Krsna is not as complete in his renunciation.
*********************************************
yare dekho tare kaho KrishnaWhoever you meet, tell them about Krishna
