Panca-tattva Maha-mantra (jaya) sri-krsnacaitanyaprabhunityananda sri-advaitagadadharasrivasadigaurabhaktavrnda PURPORT Sri Caitanva Mahaprabhu is alwaysaccompanied by His plenary expansion Sri NityanandaPrabhu, His incarnation SriAdvaita Prabhu, His internal potency Sri Gadadhara Prabhu, and His marginalpotency Srivasa Prabhu. He is in the midst of them as the Supreme PersonalityofGodhead. One should know that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompaniedbythese other tattvas. Therefore our obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu arecompletewhen we say, sri-krsnacaitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaitagadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. As preachers of the Krsna consciousnessmovement, we first offer ourobeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by chantingthis Panca-tattva mantra; then we say,Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna,Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama,Hare Hare. There are ten offensesin the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, but these are not considered inthe chanting of the Panca-tattva mantra, namely, sri-krsnacaitanyaprabhunityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. Sr iCaitanyaMahaprabhu is known as maha-vadanyavatara, the most magnanimous incarnation,for He does not consider the offenses of the fallen souls. Thus to derive thefull benefitof the chanting of the mahamantra (Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, KrsnaKrsna, Hare Hare/ HareRama, Hare Rama, Rama

Rama, Hare Hare), we must firsttake shelter of Sri CaitanyaMahaprabhu, learn the Pancatattva mantra, andthen chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. That will be very effective. Hare Krsna Maha-mantra HAREKRSNAHAREKRSNA KRSNAKRSNAHAREHARE HARERAMAHARERAMA RAMARAMAHAREHARE

PURPORTBy His DivineGraceA. C.BhaktivedantaSwamiPrabhupada The transcendental vibrationestablished by the chanting of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, KrsnaKrsna, Hare Hare,Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the sublime method ofrevivingour Krsna consciousness. As living spiritual souls we are all originallyKrsnaconscious entities, but due to our association with matter from timeimmemorial, ourconsciousness is now polluted by the material atmosphere. Thematerial atmosphere, in which we are now living, is called Maya, or illusion.Maya means "that which is riot." And what is this illusion? Theillusion is that we are all trying to be lords of material nature, whileactually we are under the grip of her stringent laws. When a servantartificially tries toimitate the allpowerful master, this is called illusion.In this polluted concept of life, we are alltrying to exploit the resources ofmaterial nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in hercomplexities. Therefore, although we are engaged in a hard struggleto conquernature, we are ever more dependent on her. This illusory struggleagainstmaterial nature can be stopped at once by revival of our Krsna consciousness. Krsna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on themind; this consciousness is theoriginal energy of the living entity. When wehear the transcendental vibration, thisconsciousness is revived. And thisprocess is recommended for this age by authorities. Bypractical experiencealso, one can perceive that by chanting this maha-mantra, or the GreatChantingfor Deliv- erance, one can at once feel a transcendental ecstasy comingthroughfrom the spiritual stratum. And when one is factually on the plane ofspiritualunderstanding--surpassing the stages of senses, mind, and intelligence--one issituated on the transcendental plane. This chanting of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna,KrsnaKrsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is directlyenacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpassesall lower strata ofconsciousness-- namely sensual, mental, and intellectual.There is no need, therefore, tounderstand the language of the mantra, nor isthere any need for mental speculation or anyintellectual adjustment forchanting this maha-mantra. It springs automatically from thespiritualplatform, and as such, anyone can take part in the chanting without anypreviousqualification, and dance in ecstasy. We have seen this practically. Even a child can take part inthe chanting, or even a dog cantake part in it. Of course, for one who is tooentangled in material life, it takes a little moretime to come to the standardpoint, but even such

a materially engrossed man is raised to the spiritualplatform very quickly. When the mantra is chanted by a pure devotee of theLordin love, it has the greatest efficacy on the hearers, and as such, thischanting should beheard from the lips of a pure devotee of the Lord, so thatimmediate effects can be achieved. As far as possible, chanting from the lipsof non devotees should be avoided. Milk touchedby the lips of a serpent haspoisonous effects. The word Hara is the form of addressing the energy of theLord, and the words Krsna andRama are forms of addressing the Lord Himself.Both Krsna and Rama mean "the supremepleasure," and Hara is thesupreme pleasure energy of the Lord, changed to Hare in thevocative. Thesupreme pleasure energy of the Lord helps us to reach the Lord. The material energy, called Maya, is also one of the multienergies of the Lord. And we, theliving entities, are also theenergy--marginal energy--of the Lord. The living entities aredescribed assuperior to material energy. When the superior energy is in contact with theinferior energy, an incompatible situation arises; but when the superiormarginal energy is in contact with the superior energy, called Hara, the livingentity is established in his happy,normal condition. These three words, namely Hare, Krsna, and Rama, are thetranscendental seeds of themha-mantra. The chanting is a spiritual call forthe Lord and His internal energy, Hara, togive protection to the conditionedsoul. This chanting is exactly like the genuine cry of a childfor its mother.Mother Hara helps the devotee achieve the grace of the supreme father, Hari, orKrsna, and the Lord reveals Himself to the devotee who chants this mantrasincerely. No other means of spiritual realization, therefore, is aseffective in this age as chanting themaha-mantra. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna,Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, H are Rama, Hare Rama,Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
