Maha Mantra
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Lord Caitanya and the Vedas both recommend this process:
hare krishna hare krishna
krishna krishna hare hare
hare rama hare rama
rama rama hare hare
iti sodasakam namnam
kali-kalmasa-nasanam
natah parataropayah
sarva-vedesu drsyate
The sixteen words of the Hare Krishna mantra are
especially meant for counteracting the contaminating
influence of the age of Kali. After searching through all
the Vedic literature, one cannot find a better method.
The Hare Krishna maha-mantra is a very simple
mantra consisting of only three words: Hare,
Krishna, and Rama.
Hare
means unto Mother Hara (i.e. Lord Krishna's personal
pleasure potency, Srimati Radharani).
Krishna
means the all-attractive Lord.
Rama
means the source of all enjoyment.
When we chant Hare Krishna we are praying: "O energy of the
Lord (Hare), O Lord (Krishna and Rama) please engage me in
Your service!"
Maha-mantra
means it is the Great Mantra Of Deliverance.
