"You can chant the Mahā-mantra while contemplating upon the following entry.
Follow these steps and experience the result:
1) Before Japa, first slowly read one Bhajana translation. While reading, try to visualize the Divine Couple, the Sakhīs, your spiritual form as a Mañjarī, the forest scene, and all the props.
2) Slowly read again, increasing the visualization while trying to identify with the feelings and Sevās of the Sakhīs attending to the Divine Couple.
3) Close your eyes, try to recapture the scene, Sevās and feelings being exchanged between the Sakhīs, and the Divine Couple, Rādhā-Govinda Yugala.
4) Open your eyes, read the entire piece again out loud.
5) Close your eyes, and begin chanting Japa while trying to “mentally see and feel” and enter into and serve everything you read about.
Without a doubt, if you do this sincerely you will have an amazingly sublime and sweet experience during your Japa."
(Śrīpāda Mahānidhi Madanagopāla Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja)
