I have not been writing so much about chanting since I’ve been in the Caribbean. The main reason is we have had so much trouble printing the material and I haven’t had time to compose my thoughts early in the morning. I know that sounds like a lame excuse but I think once I get back in America I’ll have more extensive japa impressions to make. Needless to say I have been chanting my sixteen rounds every day in the Caribbean and it has not been so bad neither. I’ve been left alone to myself in a private room and chanted all my rounds by myself before lunch. Occasionally I get headaches or I get sleepy but while I am chanting the rounds I am always in a clearheaded, alert condition. So the Caribbean has not been a bad time for japa. But it’s been a bad time for japa reporting.
