What is ”OFFICIAL JAPA”??

As far as possible loudly; if not possible, silently. But the tongue must go: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. The tongue must work. And as far as possible, should be heard… And officially, krshkshaharamahaharama…

[chants very fast, with words running into each other indistinctly]

Not like that.

[chants again like that]

Not like that. Every word should be distinctly chanted and heard, not official.
