Why do we chant " Hare Krishna"

Hare Krishna Hare Rama
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

The Srimad Bhagvad Gita Says, “One must conquer the mind. Those who have, their mind then becomes their best friend. In turn, those who haven’t, their mind will become their greatest enemy”.

Benefit 1: You Get The Control Over Your Mind

The Chanting of “Hare Krishna” may help you to get a hold on your mind, stopping you from becoming the slaves to unwanted desires and whimsical thoughts that your mind can meander into. You can get the utmost peace of mind.

The “Hare Krishna Mahamantra” is composed of three words of the supreme being~ “Hare”, “Krishna” and “Rama”.

Benefit 2: You Can Reach The Absolute State of Happiness

In today’s world filled up with materialistic things and miseries of life, everyone is in search for happiness!

And the chanting of “Hare Krishna” can allow us to share our contact with the god and his spirit, thus, leading us to our bliss by entering his association.

This is not material happiness, but a state of absolute happiness!

This is the reason that everytime one chants “Hare Krishna” with passion, they themselves start dancing!

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu dances on tunes of “Hare Krishna Mahamantra” along with followers.

Benefit 3: You Can Get Awakened To Your “True Self”

In this fast-paced world, we have become so accustomed to the material universe that we have forgotten our true self- the self of being spiritual.

And when we have become so material, we have developed fears of death, old-age, and diseases. As definite beings~ we fear the loss of power, beauty, wealth, intelligence and so many other things.

Benefit 4:When we chant Hari-Naam we get this supreme realisation that we are the pure, change-less spiritual souls which is different to the materialistic body.Hari-Naam is a pure spiritual sound vibration, and it can help us develop the consciousness to understand our ‘self’
