My name is Nimai Sharma, a devotee pursuing my Master’s thesis at Erasmus University Rotterdam. My research investigates how mantra meditation affects problem-solving abilities. Your daily chanting practice is invaluable in demonstrating the scientific benefits of our spiritual traditions.

This thesis topic stems from my own experience balancing spiritual and material life growing up in Krishna consciousness. There was always a clear divide between what I did at home and what I did in school, and I figured: there must be a way to bridge this. How can I convince my future employer that I should be chanting and dancing to kirtan during my lunch break with all my colleagues? Simple; I find a way to prove to them that chanting makes me more effective! It is only logical, if chanting gives me clarity, strength, and focus, shouldn’t it make me excel at work as well? Maybe that would also apply to other people as well then? Therefore, I set out to research this for my thesis.

I humbly request your support by completing this quick, anonymous 10-minute survey. Your participation not only supports academic research but also helps broaden appreciation for our devotional practices in mainstream academia.
