(Recorded by Hari Nama dasi; Narration Recorded by Siddheshsvar das; Cover Photo by Hari Nama dasi)



This transcendental Maha Mantra

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

is the sublime method for reviving our lost relationship with God.  There is no need of understanding the language of this Mantra nor is there any need of mental speculation or intellectual adjustment for chanting this Maha Mantra.  It springs automatically from the spiritual platform and as such, anyone can take part in this transcendental sound vibration without any previous qualification and dance in ecstasy.

The word ‘Hare’ is the vocative form of ‘Hara’, which is a way of addressing the energy of the Lord.  Both ‘Krishna’ and ‘Rama’ address the Lord directly and they mean “the highest pleasure eternal.”  

‘Hara’ is the supreme pleasure potency of the Lord and when as addressed as ‘Hare’ helps us to reach the Supreme Lord:

“Oh my Lord, Oh Energy of the Lord, Please engage me in your loving devotional service.”  

This then, is the basic translation of this wonderful Mantra.  This chanting is exactly like the genuine cry of a child for its mother.  Mother Hara helps one to achieve the grace of the Supreme Father, ‘Hari’ or ‘Krishna’, and the Lord reveals Himself to anyone who chants this Mantra sincerely. 

In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy therefore, no other means of spiritual realization is as effective as the chanting of this Maha Mantra.

THE COWHERD BOYS WILL MEET EACH DAY
AMONG THEM ALL YOU’LL HEAR THEM SAY
“DID YOU SEE KRSNA PASS THIS WAY?
WITH ONLY HIM WE WANT TO PLAY”

EACH LITTLE MAIDEN LOOKS TO SEE
“HAS KRSNA COME TO DANCE WITH ME?”
AS DAYS GO BY THEY HOPEFULLY
AWAIT TO GREET HIM LOVINGLY

OH, KRSNA, HOW ANXIOUSLY THEY WAIT FOR YOU
DEAR KRSNA, LOOK HOW THEY ALL ARE WANTING YOU?
