The spiritual happiness that comes from chanting the Holy Names of God is sublime, and perpetuates itself endlessly, eternally.

This chant in Sanskrit means: O Lord, O energy of the Lord, O Source of all happiness, please make me your beloved servant, let me serve you. Krishna and Rama are the Names of God, and Hare is none other than his inner energy, his blissful energy.

The Lord advises us to sing “Hare Krishna”, and says:

“You will thus very easily obtain liberation, and you will then be able to reach the sovereign goal of existence, love for God”.

The spiritual sound vibrations of this sublime chanting of the holy Names of God, makes it possible to obtain the highest fruit of spirituality, that of being elevated to Goloka Vrindavana, Krishnaloka, the highest planet of the spiritual world.

One can thus immediately appreciate the benefits that flow from the advent of Lord Krishna.

Becoming Krishna conscious, God, the Supreme Person, and therefore spiritually enlightened, and engaging in His service of absolute love are the true signs of liberation.

The Lord says, “I am the supreme centre of all living things. Knowing me is the king of knowledge. The way for the living being to reach me is called abhidheya*, and it confers the highest perfection of existence, the love of God. Once one reaches the level of love for the Divine, the life of being becomes perfect”.

Abhidheya*: It is a fundamental concept, a spiritual practice that one develops, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, pure love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, who is the highest spiritual realization. This practice allows the developing being to reconnect the original bond or relationship with Krishna.

This activity aims to renew the bond that unites us to Krishna, to regain this original contact, through pure and selfless service to Krishna, which is the way to know the original and eternal loving relationship between Krishna and us. This is the ultimate purpose of existence.

We must learn from a genuine spiritual master, a true intimate servant of God who has realized the Lord, the real nature of Krishna, the Supreme Person. The transcendental form of the Lord differs from material manifestations, and is not subject to the interactions of matter. Without a scientific understanding of the spiritual and personal form of God, one becomes an impersonalist, for whom God is an Impersonal Being, that is, spiritually formless.

Unless you are freed from the influence of material energy, it is impossible to know Lord Krishna as He really is, and his different energies. Influenced by the material energy that plunges us into illusion, one cannot apprehend the real spiritual form of Krishna.

Unless one realizes the transcendental form of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, there can be no question of love for God. Without this realization, loving God is a lie, and human life cannot be perfect.
