Mantra – The mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate, and very strong, O Kṛṣṇa, and to subdue it, I think, is more difficult than controlling the wind.[BG 6.34] .“Mantra” means that which delivers us (tra) from the mind (man).

​

Meditation/Yoga- helps us rise above the mind’s chatter. It is beyond the conception of body and physical poses. It is to link our consciousness to the Supreme.

​

Mantra Meditation- involves the repetition of a mantra in prayer and meditation form and concentrating the mind on that sound vibration. It is prescribed in this day and age in the Vedas. The single most highly recommended mantra with the greatest ability to uplift our consciousness and help us achieve the love of God.

​

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare – the beautiful energy of the Lord
Krishna – the all attractive one
Rama – the one who gives happiness to all, spiritual bliss

​

The Maha Mantra descends from the spiritual world –“Golokera prema dhana harinam sankirtana”.  Hare Krsna mantra is enacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness—namely sensual, mental, and intellectual. It helps attune our consciousness to the treasure of spiritual happiness that already exists in our hearts. This sublime chanting puts us directly in touch with the Supreme Lord through the sound vibration of his holy names and gradually awakens us to our original relationship with God.
