I Started With Only Chanting - Prabhupada 0497
730406 - Lecture SB 02.01.01-2 - New York
So I was chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa for . . . from two to five, three hours, and so many boys and girls were coming and joining, and there was first photograph in the Times, New York Times, they appreciated, and people also appreciated. So this chanting, the beginning was only chanting. There was no . . . nothing more. At that time there was no program of prasāda distribution. That, later on it came.
So we should always be confident that this chanting is not a vibration of this material world.
