Therefore, Nazaryan very correctly states the following: MANY OF THE HOLY
CHANTS WERE PRESERVED IN THE MUCH RENOWNED AND STILL PRACTICED
VEDIC MANTRAS INCLUDING THE 8-FOLD MANTRA HARE KRISHNA.

The meaning of the Hare Krishna Mantra is precisely explained by His Divine
Grace A. C. Bhak vedanta Swami Prabhupada, the foremost exponent of

are in the clutches of the material energy. Therefore we pray to Krishna that
He may kindly deliver us from the service of the material energy and accept
us into the service of the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. Hare

in Your service.” It is our nature to render service. Somehow or other we
have come to the service of material things, but when this service is trans-
formed into the service of the spiritual energy, then our life is per-
fect.” (Science of Self-realiza on p.116. Find it at h ps://

the cycle of birth and death so that one can return to the eternal kingdom of
Krishna (God) where there are unending ac vi es of love and devo on be-
tween Krishna and His in mate devotees.

The words Hare, which means the divine energy of devo on of Krishna per-
