Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught us through Haridas Thakur, japam. If you perform japa you will have mental diversions. But you should perform chanting in the holy company of the suddha-bhaktas. If you chant loudly, you will hear about Krishna-–no sounds of this world will come. That is, if always you will be hearing Radha-Krishna, Radha-Krishna, Radha-Krishna, you will have concentration. For us, loud chanting is recommended:
sei duti katha, bhulo na sarvatha
uccaihsvare karo harinama rava
phalgu ar yukta baddha ar mukta
kabhu na bhaviha ekakara saba
Our parama-gurudev's (Srila Saraswati Thakur) advice, his guidance is that we should loudly chant.
If you do not loudly chant the Holy Name, the Holy Name's grace will not come to you–-His remembrance will not come to you. So your enjoying spirit, your ulterior motives will not be removed; they will still be there. Outside, you may be saying, "I am a renouncer,"–-self-denial. But inwardly there will be problems; you are wildly thinking about these objects of sensual enjoyment. This is phalgu-vairagya, false renunciation.
In actual vairagya, you will devote your mind towards Sri Krishna. If you chant loudly, it will be good for you; and it will be good for all the other living beings of this world as well. Because the Name and the Named are the same. If you loudly chant, you will have concentration. And other living beings will also be able to hear, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna. They have forgotten Krishna and for that reason they have come to this world. When you chant loudly, they may remember it; they may not be able to chant-–but they can hear.
