Our people, Their stories
I’ve enjoyed and benefited a lot from the offerings at Chant Now for 2 years now which have been instrumental in supporting me as a beginner on my bhakti journey. The coaches are experienced, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and it’s always a pleasure attending their classes, which always ‘lift’ me and help keep me mindful and grateful of the wonders and magic of Krishna’s universe.
In my many wanderings trying to find the truth about myself I came to Chant Now website page. And I became so much satisfied with the deep knowledge and understanding that I got. Now, I've gotten something bigger, Krishna, the Supreme Absolute Truth. My sincere appreciation to Prabhu Urugaya for his selfless service in helping me better understand the rudimentary philosophy of Krishna Consciousness.
The Hare Krishna mantra changed my life in an extraordinary way. I am not so strong in my daily practice, but I am trying. However the support I get from my friends at Chant Now is invaluable. I am forever indebted!
I wish I learnt this knowledge in school! Love the community connection vibes and the coaching. I am grateful and determined to continue chanting, as the result is tangible. I am the living proof.
I feel sheltered knowing that I have friends in Chant Now to back me up. Not just equipped with profound spiritual wisdom but also mature enough to deal with my daily ups and downs, with the backdrop of an ancient meditation tradition that has empowered me to navigate through the difficulties of my mind and the world around me. Kudos to you Chant Now!
I really found friendship at Chant Now. I connect so much with these humans!! And the spiritual wisdom is so uplifting. Chanting meditation has helped me deal with the turbulences of an unsettled mind. I found connections here that I know will carry on for the rest of this life time, and beyond! Happy to be a part of this group of wonderful people.
I found some peace, some heart connections, guidance and grounding. Chant Now has done good.
Nothing to loose, everything to gain. All optimism, no pessimism. That is Chant Now.

FAQ

We live the lifestyle and personally practice what we share in our classes as per our individual capacities. Our teachings are based on the ancient wisdom texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, as presented by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, also known as the Hare Krishna movement, and form the spiritual foundation of the meditation training offered in our classes.

The literal meaning of maha-mantra is “The Great Chant of Deliverance.” While there are many mantras like ‘OM’ etc., the maha-mantra is the most powerful mantra in existence, also known as the Hare Krishna mantra. It has been core life practices for followers of bhakti yoga for thousands of years. Regular chanting of this mantra under proper guidance relieves one from stress, anxiety, and depression and instantly puts the practitioner in touch with a higher transcendental reality. Whether you are looking to improve your mental well-being, have greater focus and clarity, or have a genuine spiritual experience, meditating on this mantra will help you achieve your goals quickly.
Is chanting a form of meditation?
Yes! In fact, it is the best and easiest technique for meditation because it uses the transformative power of sound, allowing the restless wandering mind to concentrate on it easily and not get easily distracted by mental chatter, which is the number one source of distraction for beginners. Chanting on beads is especially beneficial, as it engages the sense of touch and speech and auditory functions in the meditation process.
What is bhakti yoga?
Bhakti is derived from the Sanskrit word bhaj, which means – loving service. Bhakti-yoga means to connect to the Supreme by means of loving devotional service. The path of bhakti-yoga is developed through a variety of activities. These include mantra meditation or the chanting of the names Hare Krishna. The chanting is done either individually or in the community by chanting mantras accompanied by music (kirtan). The study of sacred texts such as the Bhagavad-gita, associating with like-minded spiritual aspirants, eating sanctified vegetarian food, and living in a way that upholds the principles of truthfulness, mercy, austerity, and cleanliness, are all core practices for a life of followers of bhakti.
Who is Srila Prabhupada?
Srila Prabhupada is the founder acharya (spiritual head) of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada not only brought bhakti yoga and the Hare Krishna maha-mantra to the western world but also circled the globe 14 times on lecture tours, bringing the teachings of Lord Krishna to thousands of people on six continents.
