How To Control The Mind
Only way to control the mind, is to neglect the dictation of the mind & always Chant Holy Names of the Lord.
Effect of Chanting The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra
The holy name of Krishna is so attractive that anyone who chants it — including all living entities, moving and nonmoving, and even Lord Krishna Himself — becomes imbued with love of Krishna. This is the effect of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

This process of chanting is the best process of self-realization in this age; therefore Lord Caitanya preached it so nicely for the benefit of all humanity.

Purification by Chanting
The chanting itself purifies us and as the heart becomes purified, the Holy name is revealed to us as being non-different than Lord Krishna.
Beginning of Devotional Service
Devotional service begins with the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra and side by side trying to understand Krishna in truth.
