For this purpose, the Supreme Lord gives us a sublime remedy that enables us to resist the onslaughts of material life, of materialism, and the influence of the energy of illusion that plunges human beings into permanent error. This sublime remedy is the chanting of His Holy Names, whose sound is spiritual, for this chanting has spiritual origins.

Truly, the Holy Names of God that compose the Hare Krishna chant are specially intended to counteract the terrible consequences of the present age, the dark age, the age of discord, hypocrisy, quarrels, indifference, decadence, and sin. There is no method of spiritual realization for the present age as sublime as this Sanskrit chant:

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare

Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare

This Sanskrit chant of the Holy Names of God means:

O Lord, O source of all happiness, please make me your beloved servant.

Krishna and Rama are the first two Names of God, and hare is none other than his internal energy, his energy of bliss. This sublime chant allows, among other things:

To eliminate all the sins accumulated in all our previous lives of material existence, to purify the defiled heart, to be delivered from the imprisonment in matter, (the material body) in this world, to obtain spiritual knowledge, to progress and give rise to all forms of devotional service, to awaken one's love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to taste spiritual happiness, to obtain the company of Godhead and to devote oneself to His devotional loving service as if one were plunging into the waters of a great ocean of love and to attain, whatever the situations, without fail, supreme perfection. Simply chanting or singing hare Krishna without committing any offense will remove the defilement of the present age and the various sufferings that burden us, allowing us to regain our original spiritual body, which is true resurrection, and to return to Krishna, in our true home, located in His infinite and absolute kingdom.

Doing all this, and at the same time acquiring the spiritual knowledge of which Krishna is the Supreme Author, allows us to obtain the spiritual vision through which we will be able not only to see Krishna when He reveals Himself to us, but also to see all the warning signs by which He warns people so that they will change their behavior, listen to Him, and do what He says, for their own good. Doing all this continuously allows us to obtain Krishna's graces, including:

Freedom from all fear, the disappearance of all suffering. In reality, those who establish themselves on the spiritual plane are freed from the two sources of material suffering: desire and sorrow.
