The transcendental vibration established by the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is the sublime method for reviving our transcendental consciousness. The word Hare is the form of addressing the energy of the Lord, and the words Kṛṣṇa and Rāma are forms of addressing the Lord Himself. Kṛṣṇa means the all-attractive and Rāma means the supreme pleasure. The mantra means “Please engage me in Your loving devotional service.”
