Now hold a fire yajna and present the names at that time. The gayatri mantras may be heard by tape through the right ear. All of our initiated devotees must strictly chant 16 rounds a day and avoid the four pillars of sinful life completely. These four regulative principles should be lectured on by some expert speaker, as well as the ten offenses to the holy name. The brahmana must possess the qualities mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita ([[Vanisource:BG 18.42 (1972)|18.42]]) and take bath at least twice a day to maintain external cleanliness as well as always chanting the maha mantra for internal cleanliness.
