This page presents an extensive collection of 54 inspirational quotes from enlightened beings and spiritual teachers (and one from the Rig Veda) on the importance, potency and benefits of chanting in its many forms. I first curated this batch of quotes last year and posted them one per day on the Natesh Kirtan Facebook page for 54 straight days. I found them to be extraordinarily inspirational, especially taken in combination. I redid the images in blue for this website.
The 'slideshow' above will take you through the entire collection, at a slow enough pace that you can read them without being rushed, and contemplate what you've just read until the next one appears. Or if you can read the smaller print on the images below, you can read through them that way. In both cases, the order is the same as how I originally posted them daily on Facebook.
May they inspire you to chant more and with more devotion and enthusiasm. More bliss anyone?
