Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why do I feel sleepy when I chant the name, and what should I do?
Sleep in bhajan is tamoguna; stand and walk
Sleep, laziness and heedlessness come from tamoguna, the quality of dullness, and sleepiness during bhajan is a sign that it is dominant. Stand up and chant while walking; there should be no sleep at the time of bhajan.
Stand up. Do bhajan standing. Do bhajan while walking. No sleep at the time of bhajan. Do bhajan at the time of sleep.
