Maha Mantra

It is believed that the transcendental vibration that is created during the chanting of Hare KRISHNA, Hare KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the ultimate way of getting the Krishna consciousness revived. All living souls or spiritual souls are considered to be the conscious entities of Lord Krishna. However, the association of human being with matters and properties has polluted the consciousness. The materialistic environment in which every human being resides is called the Maya, which is nothing but an illusion.  As per the experts, Maya is “that which is nothing” or something that has no existence in reality. Then what the illusion means? The illusion means nothing but people’s desire to become the lord of the materialistic world, even though human beings are under the complete grip of the stringent laws of nature. A common example of illusion is a servant trying to get the position of his master, who is all-powerful.  The polluted conception of life has made people to exploit the natural resources in a wide scale, which has entangled them in several complexities. Though human beings are trying hard to conquer nature, they are actually getting even more dependent on nature and to stop this illusionary struggle against nature for material gains, one can only rely on the Krishna consciousness. Krishna consciousness should not be confused with any artificial cover on mind, it is the actual energy of any living being. As and when someone hears the transcendental vibrations, his consciousness gets revived completely. The process is considered to be reliable even by the authorities. Apart from that, any individual can chant the Great Chanting for Deliverance or maha-mantra to get the feel of the revival of his consciousness.  Whenever someone reaches the spiritual understanding plane that surpasses the three stages of intelligence, mind and senses, he starts to reside on the transcendental plane. The mantra of Hare KRISHNA, Hare KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare has been taken directly from spiritual platform, which is why it exceeds all lower consciousness states, which are intellectual, mental and sensual. Thus, there is no need to get a complete understanding of the languages that are being used in the mantras. There is also no need for any sort of intellectual adjustment or mental speculation for the chanting of the maha-mantra. The spiritual platform of any individual will automatically give rise to the chanting of the mantras and any individual can participate in the chanting even if he does not have any prior qualification. Once he takes part in the chanting, he will understand how his soul dances in the ecstasy. As per the practical experience of many experts, it is believed that a child can also participate in chanting the mantras. Not just that, it is said that animals, including dogs can participate in chanting of mantras. It has been found that people who are too much involved into their material life take more time in getting habituated to the chanting of mantras but they also get the right spiritual platform gradually. Mantra chanted by the pure devotee of Lord creates the greatest effect on the listeners and for immediate effects too, one should try to listen to the chanting from the greatest devotees of the Lord in love. It is always recommended to avoid chanting from the lips of the people who are non-devotees of the lord. One should always remember that milk when touched by serpents’ lips get poisonous. When someone pronounces the word Hara it means he is addressing the Lord’s energy and whenever the words Rama and Krishna are uttered, it means addressing Lord Himself through chanting. Both the words Rama and Krishna refer to “the supreme pleasure”. Hara refers to the Lord’s supreme pleasure energy, which has been altered to Hare while chanting. It has been said that the Lord’s supreme pleasure energy helps in reaching the Lord. Maya, which is known to be the material energy, is also among the multiple energies of the Lord. The living entities or the human beings are also included in the energy- marginal energy- of the Lord. The term superior energy has been used for describing living entities. Whenever any inferior energy comes in contact with any superior energy, it leads to an incompatible condition. The living being gets his normal, happy condition back when superior marginal energy comes in contact with Hara, the superior energy. The maha-mantra has three transcendental seeds, namely Rama, Krishna and Hare. The chanting of the mantra gives spiritual call the Lord as well as His internal energy, Hara for the protection of the conditioned soul. The chanting is similar to the cry of a child for mother. Hara, the mother helps every devotee secure the grace Krishna or Hari, the supreme father. The Lord only gets revealed to the people who sincerely practices chanting of mantras.  There is no other means of spiritual realization, which is as effective as the chanting of maha-mantra.  Hare KRISHNA, Hare KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA, Hare Hare,      Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
