If you cannot remember when to say, "Jaya Sri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu Nityananda....," write a number table on a small piece of paper and glue it on the back of your clicker. I have it on my clicker, and I chant like this: first I happily chant the mahamantra until the number 108. I say both the mahamantra and "Jaya Sri Krsna Caitanya" on this number. Then I click to the number 109, then to 216, and I repeat the same again, etc.
Maybe writing a number table is not the only way, but I’m sure I’m chanting the clearing mantra after every 108 beads and that I’m really chanting the mahamantra 108 times. The clicker is good when you have to use both hands or when its cold outside and you want to keep your hands warm in your pocket or when you don’t want to hear "Did you hurt your hand?" when you have it in the bag.
In the temple I prefer the beads, of course, and also at home when I’m not in a hurry and also when I really want to propagate the mantra and answer all those questions the people on the streets will ask.
Your servant,
Bhaktin Alice
