Шрила Прабхупада воспевает во Вриндаване

Prabhupada chanting japa with glorification of Radharani text. Gaudiya Vaisnava view: The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names in the vocative case: Hare, Krishna, and Rama (in Anglicized spelling, the transliteration of the three vocatives is hare, kṛṣṇa and rāma, pronounced [ˈhɐreː, ˈkr̩ʂɳɐ, ˈraːmɐ]). It is an anustubh poetry stanza: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare “Hare“ can be interpreted as either the vocative of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning “he who removes illusion“, or as the vocative of Harā,[3] a name of Rādhā,[4] Krishna’s eternal consort or Shakti. According to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Harā refers to “the energy of God“ while Krishna and Rama refer to God himself, meaning “He who is All-Attractive“ and “He who is the Source of All Pleasure“.[5] Rama can refer to Ramachandra or to Krishna as Radha-Raman, another name of Krishna meaning beloved of Radha.[6] In the hymn Vishnu Sahasranama spoken by Bhishma in praise of Krishna after the Kurukshetra War, Krishna is also called Rama.[7] Rama can also be a shortened form of Balarama, Krishna’s first expansion.[8] The mantra is repeated, either out loud (kirtan), softly to oneself (japa), or internally within the mind. A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami describes the process of chanting the Maha Mantra as follows: Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived ...[]... 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, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness - namely sensual, mental, and intellectual ...[]... As such anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.
