There is nothing more direct and personal that we can do than repeat Kṛṣṇa's names. He is completely present, 100%. In fact, Rūpa Goswāmī says the name is better than Kṛṣṇa personally. And therefore, out of all the practices we do, this is the most direct. We have complete, full access to Kṛṣṇa just by his name. So, it's very personal.
You can remember that the name and the named—Kṛṣṇa and his name—are non-different, and that it's a very personal process of repeating somebody's name. If you love somebody and you say their name, then you become immediately connected in consciousness. But because Kṛṣṇa is an absolute person, He makes his avatār in his name specifically to lift us up. And Rūpa Goswāmī and all the ācāryas say, "Out of all the practices we do, this is the most important." Feel free to give your whole heart and mind to the process.
Nothing else is needed, just this chanting with sincerity. And one other mood is that we're all going through a lot because we're in a human experience, and we're very vulnerable and exposed from all sides. We can use that to our advantage by just admitting to Kṛṣṇa how we're suffering in the material world and how we need a shelter, because no one else can help us, only Kṛṣṇa. Just take exclusive shelter of Kṛṣṇa through his name and chant with your heart.

Kartik Reflections and Memories | HG Vaisesika Dasa and HG Nirakuka Dasi | ISV | 16 Nov 2025
The recent journey of Vaisesika Dāsa and Nirākulā Dāsī through India was filled with inspiring moments they eagerly shared, including their stops in Jaipur, Puṇe, and Karauli. Among their favorite destinations were the renowned Imlitalā in Vṛndāvan and the tranquil Govardhan Āśram. They particularly stressed how important it is for devotees to read the Caitanya Caritāmṛta together, which provides remarkable depth of realization. The conversation wrapped up beautifully, offering insights into the spiritual meaning of their travels and how they navigate their lives between Vṛndāvan and the West.
