The Meaning of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra by HDG A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

This transcendental vibration by chanting of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, is the sublime method for reviving our Krishna Consciousness. As living Spiritual soul, we are all originally Krishna Conscious entities but due to our association with matter from time immemorial our consciousness is now polluted by material atmosphere.

In this polluted concept of life, we are all trying to exploit the resources of material nature but actually we’re becoming more and more entangled in her complexities. This illusion is called maya, or hard struggle for existence for winning over the stringent laws of material nature. This illusionary struggle against the material nature can at once be stop by the revival of our Krishna Consciousness. Krishna Consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind. This consciousness is the original energy of living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration this consciousness is revived and the process is recommended by authorities for this age.

By practical experience also, we can perceive that by chanting this maha mantra or the great chanting for deliverance, one can at once feel transcendental ecstasy from the spiritual stratum. When once is factually on the plane of spiritual understanding surpassing the stages of sense, mind and intelligence one is situated on transcendental plane. This chanting of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is directly enacted from the spiritual platform surpassing all lower status of consciousness namely sensual, mental and intellectual. There is no need of understanding the language of the mantra nor there is any need of mental speculation nor an intellectual adjustment for chanting this maha mantra.

Its springs automatically from spiritual platform and as such anyone can take part in this transcendental sound vibration without any previous qualification and dance in ecstasy. We have seen it practically, even a child can take part in the chanting or even a dog can take part in it. The chanting should be heard from the lips of a pure devotee of the Lord, so that immediate effect can be achieved. As far as possible, chanting from the lips of non devotees should be avoided as much as milk touched by the lips of a serpent causes poisonous effect. The word Hara is a form of addressing the energy of the Lord, both Krishna and Rama are form of addressing directly the Lord and they mean the highest pleasure eternally. Hara is the supreme pleasure potency of the Lord.

This potency when addressed as Hare, helps us in reaching the Supreme Lord. The material energy called as maya, is also one of the multi-potencies of the Lord as much as we are also marginal potencies of the Lord. The living entities are described as superior energy than matter. When the superior energy is in contact with the inferior energy it becomes an incompatible situation. But when the supreme marginal potency is in contact with spiritual potency, Hara, it becomes the happy normal condition of living entity. The three words, namely, Hara, Krishna and Rama are transcendental seeds of the maha mantra and the chanting is spiritual call for the Lord and his internal energy Hara, for giving protection to the condition soul. The chanting is exactly like genuine cry by the child for mother. Mother Hara helps in achieving the grace of the Supreme Father Hari, or Krishna. And the Lord reveals himself to such sincere devotee. No other names therefore of spiritual realization is as effective in this age as chanting the maha mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
