*Click here to listen to Vishnujana Swami leading the blissful chanting of hari-nama (mp3).
"Vishnujana would chant for hours and hours and hours. The way he would chant, I used to think I want to be like that devotee. I want to be able to chant like him someday. He was always very kind and warm. That was his thing. He would make you feel at ease. He'd make you feel a friend. He would break down all these barriers. There was no pretension when he would speak. Vishnujana was so intoxicated with kirtan. He would go out all day long having kirtan, come back to the temple, and start chanting bhajans for the Deities. Then he would lead the arati ceremony. He just kept going and going. He was genuinely intoxicated with the Holy Name."
(Madhudvisa das)
