Sri Harinama Mahamantra (Small Booklet)

Do you spend many hours a day chanting or singing the Hare Krsna mahamantra? Have you been chanting for months or maybe even years? Are you ready to take it to the next level? What should you be thinking about or meditating on while chanting? Does time, place or location matter? Is it better done alone or with others? These questions and many others are all answered in great detail in Sri Harinama Mahamantra. Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja in his discourses explains how by chanting with deep prayer and absorbtion a person can attain Vraja prema (love of God). In this book the famous eight verses of the Siksastakam of Caitanya Mahaprabhu reveal the method of bhajana and prayer corresponding to the eight pairs of holy names (syllables) in the mahamantra. A specific meditation is given for every part of the mahamantra, paralleling it with the eight verses of the Siksastakam. (Also described by Bhaktivinode Thakur in his 'Bhajan Rahasya') Also the glories and evidences from the authorized Vedic Sastras (scriptures) are given about the authenticity of the Mahamantra. Krsna's name is the sweetest of sweet things, the most auspicious of auspicious things, the transcendental fruit of the vine of all Vedic literature. "O best of the Bhrgus, chanted even once, either with faith or contempt, it delivers the chanter." (from the Skanda Purana) Everything is accomplished by harināma-saṅkīrtana, including the goal of life (sādhya) and the means for its attainment (sādhana). In this age of Kali, the easiest and most trouble free method of self-realization is the chanting of the names of Hari. There is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way. Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare.
