Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

All the Gosvāmīs, they did so. They conquered over sleeping, conquered over eating, conquered over sex desire and conquered defense. So in this way we have to minimize nidrāhāra-vihāra and save time for chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) . . . (indistinct) . . . And chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. That is a botheration.
