Hi, Krishna,

An "internet domain name" is also known as a "fully qualified domain
name", or FQDN.

An FQDN can be up to 255 characters in length. The limit of 63
characters is on the individual components of that name, or "labels".

Breaking up the prayer words with hyphens between words, and "."
between phrases, works nicely, without changing the current limits:

"hare-krishna.hare-krishna.krishna-krishna.hare-hare.hare-rama.hare-rama.rama-rama.hare-hare"

which would probably need to be underneath hare-krishna.org or
something suitable, like:

hare-krishna.hare-krishna.krishna-krishna.hare-hare.hare-rama.hare-rama.rama-rama.hare-hare.hare-krishna.org.

You're welcome,

Brian
