KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA

HARE – refers to the energy of God.
KRISHNA – refers to the Supreme Person Himself. Krishna means All-Attractive. God is the most attractive Person. All attractive features are there in full in the Supreme Person.
RAMA – He who gives great transcendental pleasure to those who lovingly serve Him

Mantra as a whole is a prayer: “Oh my Lord, Oh Energy of the Lord, please let me engage in loving service to You.” It is called the Maha-mantra, which means the greatest mantra of all. It doesn’t belong to any particular sect or religion and is given for all humanity.

GAURANGA – He whose body is more beautiful than molten gold.
NITAI – eternal; refers to Lord Nityananda.

I offer my obeisances to Lord Nrishimhadev, who is always giving bliss to His devotees like Prahlada Maharaj and chiseling at the hearts of demons like Hiranyakashipu. The devotee of God always sees Lord Nrishimha everywhere. Lord Nrishimha is within and without. Therefore let us all take shelter of Lord Nrishimha.

Oh my Lord Nrishimha, Your hands are very beautiful, like the lotus flower, but with your long nails You have ripped apart the wasp (demon) Hiranyakashipu.

Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer my humble obeisances.
Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer my humble obeisances.
Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer my humble obeisances.
