Now that Purusottama month is over what is my duty ?

Now that Purusottama month is over what is my duty ?
This question was asked ? The same duty is every day to surrender to Lord Sri Krsna as described by Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita 18.66 .Our duty and way we surrender to Lord Caitanya is shown in Prema Vilasa when Srila Lokanath das Goswami ordred Srila Narotama das Thakura to chant 64 rounds daily : SRILA LOKANATHA GOSVAMI TO HIS DISCPLE SHRILA NAROTTAMA (both are great Acharyas and followers of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu) :
From Prema-vilasa Chapter 11:

(Note: Both Shrila Prabhupada and Shrila Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada have accepted Prema-vilasa as a bonafide scripture in their commentaries to Shri Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi-lila 13.60 purport.)

je vaishnava haibe laibe harinama;
sankhya kari nama laile, kripa karena gauradhama.

"Those who are Vaishavas must chant the Holy Names in a particular number everyday. Then Lord Gauranga, the supreme Abode of love will be merciful to them.Image may contain: 4 people, text that says 'Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare harekrishnajapa.com @'

WHAT IS THAT NUMBER?

purva abhipraye sabe laha harinama;
keha laksha viseshatah mukhe gana.

"Everyone should specifically chant or sing the name loudly 100,000 times a day (64 rounds) with the mood I have described earlier.

EMPOWERMENT:

narottama laksha nama laya sankhya kari;
nama laile gaurangera sarva sakti dhari.

"O my disciple, Narottama! Please chant 100,000 names everyday while maintaining their count. If you chant in this way then you will become empowered by all the potencies of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu."

(note)

kali-kalera dharma--krishna-nama-sankirtana;
krishna-sakti vina nahe tara pravartana.
(Cc Antya-lila 7.11)

"The fundamental religious system in the Age of Kali is the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Unless empowered by Krishna, one cannot propagate the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
