1. Associating with the supreme president

    One can chant Hare Krsna anywhere. Children, for example, also chant and dance. It is not at all difficult. While walking, our students take their beads with them and chant. Where is the loss? But the gain is very great, for by chanting we associate with Krsna personally. Suppose we were to associate personally with the President. How proud we would feel. "Oh, I am with the President." So should we not feel very much proud if we were to associate with the supreme president, who is able to create many millions of presidents like those of this world? This chanting is our opportunity to do so. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, etadrsi tava krpa bhagavan mamapi: "My dear Lord, You are so kind to me that You are always prepared to give me Your association."Durdaivam idrsam ihajani nanuragah: "But I am so
    unfortunate that I do not take advantage of this opportunity."
