Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Another, Krishna has got many names: nämnäm akäri bahudhä nija-sarva-saktis. So of all the names, two names are very important: Räma and Kåñëa. Therefore in the Hare Kåñëa mantra, the Räma and Kåñëa are there, and Kåñëa's potency, Hare. So in the çästra it is said that one thousand names of Viñëu... There is Viñëu's one thousand names, viñëu-sahasra-näma. If one chants Viñëu's names-there are thousands-that is equal to one name Räma. And three times chanting the name of Räma is equal to one "Kåñëa." Therefore we should take advantage to chant Hare Kåñëa. Although there are many names of Kåñëa, Kåñëa is the chief name, mukha, and Lord Caitanya chanted Hare Kåñëa, Hare Kåñëa, Kåñëa Kåñëa, Hare Hare/ Hare Räma, Hare Räma, Räma Räma, Hare Hare. So we should follow Lord Caitanya's footsteps. Although Kåñëa has got many names, we should, by following the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu, we should take advantage of chanting this Hare Kåñëa mantra. Go on.----------Srila Prabhupada Conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
