Student (3): I was wondering how important the choice of words are to the chanting. And if, perhaps, if you just count to ten in your mind or out loud, I thought it might work just as well.
Satsvarūpa: "Could you just count numbers and think about God and that would work just as well? Are the names important?"
Prabhupāda: Count words?
Satsvarūpa: Could you just count—one, two, three, four—and that would work just as well.
Prabhupāda: Well, that is not possible, of course, but as soon as stop counting, you can chant. (laughter) That's not difficult. Yes?
