Since the 1960s, the mantra has been made well known outside India by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his movement, International Society for Krishna Consciousness (commonly known as the "Hare Krishnas" or the Hare Krishna movement).[5]

The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names: Hare, Krishna, and Rama (in Anglicized spelling). It is a poetic stanza in anuubh meter (a quatrain of four lines (pda) of eight syllables with certain syllable lengths for some of the syllables).

This mantra has multiple interpretations. "Hare" can be interpreted as the vocative form of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning "he who removes illusion". Another interpretation is as the vocative of Har,[7] a name of Rdh,[4] Krishna's eternal consort or his energy (Krishna's shakti). According to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Har refers to "the energy/shakti of Supreme Personality of Godhead" while Krishna and Rama refer to Supreme Godhead himself, meaning "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure".[8][9] In the hymn Vishnu Sahasranama spoken by Bhishma in praise of Krishna after the Kurukshetra War, Krishna is also called Rama.[10]

It is sometimes believed that "Rama" in "Hare Rama" means "Radharamana" or the beloved of Radha (another name for Ka). The more common interpretation is that Rma refers to Rama of the Ramayana, an earlier avatar of Krishna. "Rama can also be a shortened form of Balarama, Krishna's first expansion."[11] The mantra is repeated, either sung out loud (bhajan), congregationally (kirtan), or to oneself aloud or mentally on prayer beads made of Tulasi (japa). A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami describes the process of chanting the Maha Mantra as follows:

The mantra is first attested in the Kali-Saraa Upaniad (Kali Santarana Upanishads), an Upanishad, which is commented on by Raghunandan Bhattacharya in his work Harinamarthah-ratna-dipika.[13] In this Upanishad, Narada is instructed by Brahma (in the translation of K. N. Aiyar):

Emic tradition claims that the mantra was popularized by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu roughly around 1500 A.D. when he began his mission to spread Harinam publicly to "every town and village" in the world, traveling throughout India, and especially within the areas of Bengal and Odisha.[15][better source needed] Some versions of the Kali Santarana Upanishad give the mantra with Hare Rama preceding Hare Krishna (as quoted above), and others with Hare Krishna preceding Hare Rama, as in Navadvipa version of the manuscript. The latter format is by far the more common within the Vaishnava traditions.[16] It is a common belief that the mantra is equally potent when spoken in either order.[17]

The mantra also prominently appears in Jesus Loves You's "Bow Down Mister" (1990) and in the Pretenders' "Boots of Chinese Plastic" from their 2008 album, Break Up the Concrete.[citation needed] Stevie Wonder used the devotees chanting Hare Krishna in his song "Pastime Paradise".[citation needed]

Less well-known recordings of the Hare Krishna mantra include versions by the Fugs on their 1968 album Tenderness Junction (featuring poet Allen Ginsberg), by Nina Hagen, in multiple songs by English psychedelic rock band Quintessence (produced by John Barham, a frequent collaborator of George Harrison) and by Hsker D on their 1984 album Zen Arcade. Kula Shaker, Boy George, and members of the Rubettes have recorded music tracks about Krishna Consciousness.

Hare Krishna Hare Ram. In Ramayan, Goswami Tulsidas ji has written "   ,     " Lord Chaitanya came 500 years ago and inaugurated this congregational changing of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Both Ram and Krishna are one soul, 2 different incarnations of Vishnu. One name of Ram is equivalent is to 1000 names of Vishnu, it is even mentioned in Vishnu Purana. N Krishna is the supreme God. So chanting Hare Krishna maha mantra we invoke Vishnu in the most auspicious way by chanting both the names.

Hare Krishna Mahamantra one is immediately on the spiritual platform, not having to go through the different levels of consciousness. In this age one is short lived, and there are so much distractions which make other spiritual practices very difficult, therefore chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra is the most effective way to practice spirituality in this age

So Brihad Naradiya puran, kali Santayana upanishad, Shrimad Bhagwatam, Vishnu Puran and many more shastras instructs us to chant the names of Lord Krishna and His incarnations to achieve perfection and liberation. Lord Chaitanya came 500 years ago and inaugurated this congregational changing of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. This mantra is described as the Yuga Dharma or Yajna (Sacrifice) for this age of Kali. There are different Yajnas like Meditation, fire Sacrifice, Big Temple worship and Sankirtana for 4 different Maha Yugas!!!!

Vayu Purana, Agni Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Brahma Yamala Tantra, Ananta Samhita, Radha Tantra, all mention Hare Krishna first. Exception is Padma Purana because it mentions Hare Rama first, however there's no difference as already told. Therefore, instead of needlessly banging our heads on which word is first, which is second, we should focus on chanting this beautiful Mantra and relish it. Hare Krishna! The word "Hare" refers to the divine feminine potency of God. "Krishna" means the all-attractive one, and "Rama" is the reservoir of all pleasure.Hare Krishnas believe that the sound vibration of the mantra has a direct impact on the soul.

Hello, I've started reading the Bhagavad Gita again, and I'm wondering if there is a short mantra for Krishna that I can say throughout the day? I'm familiar with the Hari Krishna mantra but personally it feels to long for me to chant it throughout the day during regular activities. Is there a shorter, simpler mantra for Krishna I can use? Doing a quick Google, I found "om Krishnaya Namah", but I'm not sure how widely used this is.

The sixteen names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare, hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare destroy all the inauspiciousness of the age of Kali. This is the conclusion of all the Vedas. (Kali-santarana Upanisad from Krishna Yajur Veda)

mukti-hetuka traka haya 'rma-nma'

'ka-nma' praka ha kare prema-dna

"The holy name of Lord Rma certainly gives liberation, but the holy name of Ka transports one to the other side of the ocean of nescience and at last gives one ecstatic love of Ka." (Chaitanya-charitamrita, Antya-lila 3.257

The maha-mantra is further mentioned in Chaitanya Charitamrita 1.7.83 (krishna-nama maha-mantrera), Chaitanya-charitamrita 3.9.56 ('hare krishna, hare krishna' kahe avisrama), Narada Pancaratra, etc.

(Vasudev Ghosh's bhajan "Jaya Jagannatha Sacira-nandana", text 4)

 Chaitanya-bhagavata Madhya-khanda 23.75-80: (trans. Kusakratha Das)

75. The Lord personally taught them, "Please happily hear from Me the maha-mantra of Lord Krishna's names. It is:

79. Gather together, five or ten, in your own homes, clap hands and sing kirtana of these holy names.

80. You may also sing these words: haraye namah krishna yadavaya namah gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana ('I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna. He is the descendant of the Yadu family. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto Gopala, Govinda, Rama and Sri Madhusudana.' Also see Chaitanya-charitamrita 2.26.64)

In his purport to Caitanya-bhagavata Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati says very clearly that Haridasa Thakura chanted either loudly or softly and that is why his cave became Vaikuntha.

 Chaitanya-bhagavata 1.16.172:

tabe haridasa ganga-tire gopha kari'

thakena virale ahar-nisa krishna smari'

Purport: "While remaining in a solitary cave on the bank of the Ganges at Phuliya, Srila Thakura Mahasaya loudly chanted the names of Krishna and passed his days and night remembering the pastimes of the Lord. Sometimes he would chant the sixteen name, thirty-two syllable, maha-mantra loudly (uccaihsvare), and sometimes he would chant softly (mrdusvare). Every day he would complete the chanting of three hundred thousand holy names, or in a year he would chant one hundred million names of Hari. Some people consider that chanting the names of Krishna in a solitary place is in the category of "upamsu-japa," or "chanting very mildly." They say that this maha-mantra, or chanting the holy names of the Lord, should not be heard by others; only the person who is chanting should hear. If the lips move, or if the holy names are recited, then they will automatically be heard by others. But if such persons lack faith in the Vaisnavas who chant the holy names of the Lord, then by the influence of Kali they dare to quarrel with those Vaisnava chanters."

Once Tukaram had finished renovating and cleaning the temple, he began to conduct many kirtans in which he sang the songs he had learned and chanted the mantra his Guru had given him. And the villagers began to come.

Devotees recite the mantra a fixed number of times every day on a string of japa beads and sing the mantra out loud congregationally (kirtana). Srila Prabhupada describes the process of chanting:

The above is an esoteric reading of the maha-mantra, meant to evoke the pastimes of Krishna as a meditation for advanced students. For most of us, however, it is sufficient to understand that chanting this mantra will lead to love of God. Apropos of that fact, Sri Jiva identifies and substantiates a number of other theological conclusions about the holy name. 006ab0faaa
