Is anyone not chanting sixteen rounds?

Danavira dasa: Once at a lecture in the temple room in Los Angeles in 1970, just after moving into the building, Srila Prabhupada asked the assembled devotees, "Is anyone not chanting sixteen rounds?" Only one boy raised his hand. It was Bhakta dasa. Prabhupada said, "You are not finishing sixteen rounds?" "Well, Srila Prabhupada," he said, "I've been working until late at night and only sleeping four hours, so I haven't had time to finish." Srila Prabhupada replied strongly, "Then sleep only two hours, but you must finish sixteen rounds a day."
