The Maha-Mantra : Hare Krishna , Hare Krishna , Krishna Krishna , Hare Hare Hare Rama , Hare Rama , Rama Rama Hare Hare
In Sanskrit , "man" means mind & "tra" means freeing. So a mantra is a combination of transcendental sounds that free our mind from anxiety.
The name Krishna means "the All-Attractive One", the name "Rama" means "the All Pleasing one" , and the name Hare is an address to the Lord's Internal Energy. So the Maha-Mantra means "O All Attractive , All Pleasing Lord , O energy of the Lord, please engage me in Your devotional service."
Five centuries ago , while spreading the Maha- Mantra throughout India , Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu prayed , " O Supreme Lord , in your names You have invested all of your transcendental energies. "
The transcendental sound vibration which is established by the chanting of this Maha-Mantra is the sublime method for reviving our original , natural God consciousness. This chanting is enacted from the spiritual platform.
By practical experience , one can perceive that by chanting this Maha-Mantra , one can at once live transcendental ecstasy , surpassing all lower levels of consciousness , namely , sensual , mental & intellectual.
