This handbook summarizes, in the form of affirmations, the main teachings, practice and attitudes I offer in my Japa Workshops. The explanations of these affirmations have been transcribed from a talk from one of these workshops.
The insights and attitudes contained within these affirmations have helped many devotees improve their chanting. Some dovotees have even found that these affirmations have transformed their japa.
It is my hope that the mood these affirmations create will enable us to deeply relish our daily japa.
Your servant,
Mahatma Das
