How to chant to awaken prema

ye-rupe la-ile nama prema upajaya
tahara laksana suna, svarupa-rama-raya

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, “O Svarupa Damodara Gosvami and Ramananda Raya, hear from Me the symptoms of how one should chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra to awaken very easily one’s dormant love for Krsna.

trnad api su-nicena
taror api sahisnuna
amanina mana-dena
kirtaniyah sada harih

One who thinks himself lower than the grass, who is more tolerant than a tree, and who does not expect personal honor but is always prepared to give all respect to others can very easily always chant the holy name of the Lord.”

Srila Prabhupada’s rendering of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Antya-lila 20.21-22
