The mantra is a spiritual call to the Lord, meaning, “Oh energy of the
Lord, please engage me in the loving service of Lord Krishna.”
This chanting of Hare Krishna is directly enacted from the spiritual
platform, surpassing all lower stages of consciousness, namely sensual,
mental, and intellectual. There is no need to understand the language of
the mantra, nor is there any need of mental speculation, nor any
intellectual adjustment for chanting this maha-mantra. It springs
automatically from the spiritual platform, and as such anyone can take
part in this transcendental sound vibration without any previous
qualification and dance in ecstasy.
The word Hara is a form of addressing the energy of the Lord. Both
Krishna and Rama are forms of directly addressing the Lord, and they
mean “the highest pleasure.” Hara is the supreme pleasure potency of the
Lord. This potency, addressed as Hare, helps us in reaching the Supreme
Lord.
The three words—namely Hare, Krishna, and Rama—are the
transcendental seeds of the maha-mantra, and the chanting is the
spiritual call for the Lord and His internal energy, Hara, for giving
protection to the conditioned souls. The chanting is exactly like
genuine crying by the child for his mother. Mother Hara helps in
achieving the grace of the supreme father Hari, or Krishna, and the Lord
reveals Himself to such sincere devotees.
