The spiritual sound vibrations of this wonderful song of the Holy Names of God are intended to revive our spiritual consciousness, now dormant. Because of our spiritual essence, being aware of God is part of our inner nature, but as a result of our contact with matter, our consciousness has lost its original purity.

The word Haré refers to the energy of Lord, while Krishna and Rama are directly the Holy Names of God. Krishna and Rama mean “supreme happiness”, and hare is the blissful power of the Lord. This energy of joy helps us reach the Lord.

This song is initiated by the embodied soul and conditioned by matter as a call, for it is eager to obtain the protection of the Lord and his energy. In the present age, one of discord, strife, hypocrisy and sin, chanting the Holy Names of the Lord is the most effective yoga for attaining spiritual realization.

To be sure to put the Lord in our mind as He recommends Himself to us and to keep thinking of Him, the ideal is to chant the Holy Names of Krishna in the morning, right after brushing your teeth and taking a shower, then everything throughout the day, and finally in the evening just before going to bed.

The Lord said: Whoever, at the death, at the very moment of leaving the body remembers Me alone, immediately attains My abode, does not Do not doubt it.

Logos 423

To be free from fear in the face of death, we must listen to, glorify and remember Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

The Lord is the Supreme Soul called also the Holy Spirit, located in each being, as well as the Supreme Master located in the heart of each living being. So whether we become attached to God in one way or another, and the Lord will take care to protect us from all peril.

Whoever becomes a devotee of the Lord will never perish, unlike any other, for perishing means remaining chained to the cycle of repeated deaths and rebirths, thus letting escape the unparalleled grace of having attained human form. Ignoring the fate reserved for him by the laws of material nature, the being who does not use his human form in order to develop his consciousness of God and thus achieve spiritual realization, will be plunged into the whirlwind of the dead and the successive rebirths. He will thus have to take up a material body in one or other of the 8,400,000 species of living beings, always further from his spiritual condition.
