Smaranam - Remembering


"Smarana means remember.  If you chant and hear, then remembrance will automatically come.  This is the ancient process of reciting and memorizing Vedic verses or shlokas.  So each and every verse you should chant very perfectly, nicely, meditate upon it. That is the process of progress, advancement in spiritual life. We should get all these verses by heart, and chant, and offer prayer to the Lord, vandanam. Vandanam. These are meant for such pu rpose, hearing, memorizing and repeating for the benefit of otheres."  From Nectar of Devotion chapter 10, by Srila Rupa Goswami.
