Why chant the Hare Krishna mantra?

January 20, 2006 by Jayadvaita Swami

from Back to Godhead, May-June 1994

Here’s a page full of reasons. I’ll spare you the footnotes, but each reason is fully upheld by evidence from Vedic writings like Bhagavad-gita, the Upanisads, and the Puranas.

Chanting Hare Krishna awakens love of God.

Chanting Hare Krishna brings liberation as a side benefit along the way.

When you chant Hare Krishna, you automatically develop knowledge and detachment.

Chanting Hare Krishna gets you out of the endless cycle of birth and death.

It is the most effective means of self-realization in the present Age of Quarrel. Nothing else works nearly as well.

Chanting Hare Krishna cleanses the heart of all illusions and misunderstandings.

By chanting Hare Krishna, you become free from all anxieties.

Chanting Hare Krishna brings you to self-realization—and shows you how to act as a self-realized soul.

It keeps you ever mindful of Krishna, the reservoir of pleasure.

There are no hard and fast rules for chanting. You can chant anywhere, any time, under any circumstances.

Krishna Himself is fully present in the transcendental sound of His name. And the more you chant, the more you realize it.

All other Vedic mantras are included in the chanting of Hare Krishna. So just by chanting this mantra, you get the benefit of all others.

Chanting Hare Krishna purifies not only you but every living entity around you. Whoever hears the chanting gets spiritual benefit.

A person who chants Hare Krishna develops all good qualities.

You can chant Hare Krishna softly for personal meditation or loudly with your family or friends. Both ways work.

Srila Prabhupada chanted Hare Krishna, and so did great souls in the past. So why not you?

It’s free. Chanting Hare Krishna never costs you money.

Chanting Hare Krishna brings the highest states of ecstasy.

There are no previous qualifications needed for chanting Hare Krishna. Young or old, anyone can chant—from any race, any religion, or any country of the world.

Even if you don’t understand the language of the mantra, it works anyway.

Chanting Hare Krishna brings relief from all miseries.

Chanting Hare Krishna is easy. When the best way is also the easiest, why make life hard for yourself?

Chanting Hare Krishna invokes spiritual peace—for you and for those around you.

When you chant Hare Krishna, Krishna Himself becomes pleased.

When you chant Hare Krishna, Krishna dances on your tongue.

By chanting Hare Krishna you can return to Krishna’s world, the eternal abode of full happiness and knowledge.

Chanting Hare Krishna frees you from the reactions of all past karma. Chanting Krishna’s name even once, purely and sincerely, can free you from the reactions of more karma than you could possibly incur.

Chanting Hare Krishna counteracts the sinful atmosphere of Kali-yuga, the present Age of Hypocrisy and Quarrel.

By chanting Hare Krishna you can relish at every step the full nectar that’s the real thirst of the soul.

The more you chant Hare Krishna, the better it gets.

If you look through all the Vedic scriptures, you’ll find nothing higher than the chanting of Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

What is Asatru?

Long before Christianity came to northern Europe, the people there – our ancestors – had their own form of spirituality that influenced every aspect of their culture. One expression of this European spirituality was Asatru. It was practiced in the lands that are today Scandinavia, England, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other countries as well. Asatru is the original, or native, religion for the peoples who lived in these regions. Nevertheless, Asatru is more than just a religion in the narrow sense of the word. It is our way of being in the world; some of us call it the “Germanic Folkway” to underline this larger concept.

What does the word “Asatru” mean?

It means, roughly, “belief in the Gods” or “those true to the Gods” in Old Norse, the language of ancient Scandinavia in which so much of our source material was written. (A more literal translation would be “gaining experience of the ancestral sovereign gods.”) Asatru is a name given to the religion of the Norsemen, but we use this term to include the spiritual worldview of all the Germanic peoples, not just the Scandinavians.

When did Asatru start?

Asatru is thousands of years old (though it is practiced in a modern form today, to meet the needs of our age). Its beginnings are lost in prehistory, but it is older than Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, or most other religions. The spirit it expresses, though, is as ancient as the northern European peoples themselves because it is an innate expression of who and what we are – not merely a set of arbitrary beliefs we have adopted.

Why do we need Asatru? Aren’t most people who want religion satisfied with Christianity or one of the other “established” religions?

People are attracted to the better-known religions because they have genuine spiritual needs which must be filled. People are looking for community, fellowship, and answers to the “big questions”: the purpose of life, how we should live it, and what happens after death. For many people today, the so-called major faiths do not have answers that work. Asatru does. Once seekers realize that there is another way – a way that is true to our innermost essence – they will not be satisfied with anything less than a return to the Way of their ancestors.

Why is the religion of our ancestors the best one for us?

Because we are more like our ancestors than we are like anyone else. We inherited not only their general physical appearance, but also their predominant mental, emotional, and spiritual traits. We think and feel more like they did; our basic needs are most like theirs. The religion which best expressed their innermost nature – Asatru – is better suited to us than is some other creed which started in the Middle East among people who are essentially different from us. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are alien religions that do not truly speak to our souls.

Why did Asatru die out if it was the right religion for Europeans?

Asatru was subjected to a violent campaign of repression over a period of hundreds of years. Countless thousands of people were murdered, maimed, and exiled in the process. The common people (your ancestors!) did not give up their cherished beliefs easily. Eventually, the monolithic organization of the Christian church, bolstered by threats of economic isolation and assisted by an energetic propaganda campaign, triumphed over the valiant but unsophisticated tribes.

Or so it seemed! Despite this persecution, elements of Asatru continued down to our own times – often in the guise of folklore – proving that our own native religion appeals to our innermost beings in a fundamental way. Now, a thousand years after its supposed demise, it is alive and growing. Indeed, so long as there are men and women of European descent, it cannot really die because it springs from the soul of our people.

Asatru isn’t just what we believe, it’s what we are.

Wasn’t the acceptance of Christianity a sign of civilization – a step up from barbarism?

No. The so-called “barbarians” who followed Asatru (the Vikings, the various Germanic tribes, and so forth) were the source of our finest civilized traditions – trial by jury, parliaments, Anglo Saxon Common Law, the right to bear arms, and the rights of women, to name a few. Our very word “law” comes from the Norse language, not from the tongues of the Christian lands. We simply did not, and do not, need Christianity or other Middle Eastern creeds in order to be civilized.

Hinduism - Purva Mimamsa

So, I'm an American in Texas, and I'm trying to pursue the Purva Mimamsa tradition of Hinduism. In not sure how to start, though. Should I just read the pdfs on the tradition that I found online? Should I study Hinduism from a General perspective, even though the following of deities is not the focus of purva mimamsa? I'm atheist, and the atheist tradition interests me.

Or can I find a teacher? How? Should I just read the Vedas and go from there? Purva Mimamsa seems to be smaller sect, so I'm not surprised that opportunity to learn is so small in America, or at least my part.

Akkso, the of Om as an image is both irony and serves as a content marker.

I've always been really interested in religion and spirituality, but I've never really felt any sort of religious faith, or had any kind of spiritual experience. I've gone to a number of churches, but I just can't seem to actually believe. None of it seems to make any sense to me. Any suggestions?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

>The Religion that is afraid of science dishonours God and commits suicide. It acknowledges that it is not equal to the whole of truth, that it legislates, tyrannizes over a village of God's empires but is not the immutable universal law. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion and making way for truth.

In how many churches, by how many prophets, tell me, is man made sensible that he is an infinite Soul; that the earth and heavens are passing into his mind; that he is drinking forever the soul of God?

>Character is higher than intellect…A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.

Explore, and explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatise yourself, nor accept another's dogmatism. Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, for the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board. Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread, and if not store of it, yet such as shall not take away your property in all men's possessions, in all men's affections, in art, in nature, and in hope.

>Thought is all light, and publishes itself to the universe. It will speak, though you were dumb, by its own miraculous organ. It will flow out of your actions, your manners, and your face. It will bring you friendships. It will impledge you to truth by the love and expectation of generous minds. By virtue of the laws of that Nature, which is one and perfect, it shall yield every sincere good that is in the soul, to the scholar beloved of earth and heaven.

My journey

Hello everyone

I have something I'd like to share with you all, not just for myself, but also for you guys. Hopefully someone will get something out of this.

I'll begin this by telling something about myself. I am a 22 year old male, and I have since the age of 17 been a buddhist of the rinzai zen sect. Pretty much my whole life I have been looking for some kind of meaning, something I can do.. Normal jobs don't appeal much to me, just working, getting a loan to buy a house and basically ending up as a slave just to live out a "normal" life seems all so pointless to me.

It was around the age of 19 I started thinking to myself that I could get something meaninful out of my life by going down the road of buddhism. But how could I do this seriously? If I were to tell someone I want to become a monk, then I would most certainly get laughed at just like every other teenager thinking the same.

Then, about a year ago I came up with something I could do, something to prove how serious I am taking this. It isn't just something I'm doing to prove something for everyone else, but it is also something that will help me grow as a person, and most importanly as a buddhist. I am talking about an old school pilgrimage.

For every passing week since I started to think about it, my will to do it has only grown stronger with each passing day, and not long ago I made up my mind to stop thinking about it, and just do it. I still have a lot of planning left do to, so the departure is still a good 6 months away I'd say. At the very least.

Some basic details about the trip:
I want to "cheat" a bit and start around germany (I'm Scandinavian) and have it end in Japan.

I am a bit unsure on where the route will end up going, while I'd love to go through Turkey and the middle east, I must say I am a bit sceptical with everything going on down there. So I'm thinking about opting for a route that might be a bit more safe.

I will be working and saving up money for the trip, just incase something goes horribly wrong or I chicken out and have to go back home with my tail between my legs. But I'm going to try to save as much as possible, and live mostly on donations if possible.

I have been taking this very seriously, so I have been training a lot the last year, hiking alone in the mountains and living as simply and isolated as possible. Among other things.

While I am giving myself the pleasure of being a bit optimistic about this, I also know everything could go horribly wrong. Me ending up dead in a ditch somewhere being one of the better outcomes I can think of. But whatever happens happens, hopefully my karma will be good and see me through this. (Kinda ironic, as then it wouldn't matter if I went through ISIS controlled areas or not)

I don't know if there is much else to say, I feel like everything I just wrote is a big mess. I have wanted to tell someone about this for a long time now, and there is so much I want to say, but I'm worried I'll just say too much and nothing will make any sense.

But if anyone has come this far I'd like to thank you for sticking with it, and I'm open for questions/feedback/criticism, if anyone wants to talk/chat with me I'm also open for that. Just add a reply saying so and we'll come up with something.

Hey guys,

Since the board fell to inactivity, I've decided to claim it and see if we can get this rolling again.

Current rules are simple - follow the global rule and be nice to each other. This board is not for Christians only, but since we'll probably be the majority, expect discussions to be swayed that way.

Adamites

/christian/ failed to even respond to this, so I'm turning to /rel/.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamites

>St. Epiphanius and Augustine of Hippo mention the Adamites by name, and describe their practices. They called their church "Paradise", claiming that its members were re-established in Adam and Eve's state of original innocence. Accordingly, they practiced "holy nudism", rejected the form of marriage as foreign to Eden, saying it would never have existed but for sin, lived in absolute lawlessness, holding that, whatever they did, their actions could be neither good nor bad and stripped themselves naked while engaged in common worship.


Neo-Adamites

>The Beghards became the Picards of Bohemia, who took possession of an island in the river Nežárka, and lived communally, practicing social and religious nudity, free love and rejecting marriage and individual ownership of property.


So guys, if Christ redeemed mankind for the fall from grace that occurred when we were kicked out of Eden, should a Christian not seek to return to the lifestyle of Adam and Eve, which was in grace?

Syntheism

What is your opinion on Syntheism /rel/?

It is the belief that God and all Gods are the creation of Man (as opposed to Man being the creation of God/Gods/The Divine). It is then possible from this perspective to form God's of a logical nature which become manifestations for idea's which may be extremely abstract thus allowing science to work alongside them. For example, Pantheos would be the universe and all existence as God. Atheos would be all that does not exist, the void, as God. Entheos would be all that is transcendent of the world of existence and the void. Thus Entheos may be the transcendant creator, conscious or unconscious, of Pantheos and in doing so all that is not created becomes Atheos.

Christianity is Anarchist

1 Samuel 8:6-18

But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights:

He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.

Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.

He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.

He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.

Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.

He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.

When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you on that day.”

I recently converted from Atheism to Christianity, around January/February last year, and I've identified as Catholic almost resolutely throughout that time, although I've dabbled in sects of Protestantism and with Orthodoxy.

I decided to pick up the King James Bible, and I'm currently at Genesis 24:7. Regarding 6:4:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men were of old, men of renown.
Is this metaphorical or literal? Can anyone tell me any more about these Giants, or this in general? Apologies if this is pleb-tier but I'm just curious.
