The idea behind 'Make Japa Great Again' is to, every day, again means starting over today, this is my main priority, and I have nowhere else to go that's productive. Nothing else will be productive unless I'm able to enter deeply within the process of connecting to Kṛṣṇa through His Holy Name. This is amply supported throughout the śāstras. For instance, 'iti mūrty-abhidhānena mantra-mūrtim amūrtikam yajate yajña-puruṣaṁ sa samyag-darśanaḥ pumān', Nārada Muni says in the first canto, 5th chapter (SB 1.5.38) that the main process for seeing Kṛṣṇa directly is through chanting His Holy Names. He's most present in His name, in His mantra. Rūpa Goswāmī says the holy name of Kṛṣṇa is not different from Him, but there is a difference, and that is that the name is more merciful than Kṛṣṇa Himself because He reaches out to us in that unique way wherever we are.

So, remembering that and also helping other people come into the practice is helpful for us because as we help other people come into the practice of chanting the holy names, and especially getting to 16 rounds, which is no small thing in this age where there's so many distractions and so many other obligations. So I just had a few ideas. I wrote just an outline of how to help somebody, including oneself, get to 16 rounds, and I'll just start by saying a few of the elements. ( excerpt from the talk)
