Hare Krishna Mantra is recommended by Vedic scriptures as topmost mantra (Mahamantra) . Why?
Hare
Krishna mantra is regarded as Mahamantra. Hare Krishna means addressing
the God and his potency with love. The world ' Hare' refers to the internal potency of lord ,' Krishna' to God himself and 'Rama' to pleasure giving potency of Lord.It is not possible to water
every leaves ,stem and other for the purpose of growth of tree but when
watering is done in the root whole tree gets water and grows nicely.
Similarly when Hare Krishna mahamantra is chanted regularly all
spiritual benefits are automatically received. Thus it is more powerful
than the combination of all other mantras. In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy , there is no powerful mantra to re-spiritualize ourselves by destroying all the iniquities other than Hare Krishna Mahamantra.
Scriptural Evidences of Hare Krishna Mahamantra
1. The Kali-santarana Upanishad, part of the Yajur Veda, states:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare iti shodashakam namnam kali-kalmasha-nashanam natah parataropayah sarva-vedeshu drishyate
"The sixteen names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra— Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare —destroy the iniquities of the Kali age. This is the ultimate conclusion of all the Vedas."
This
was said by Brahma to Narada.Hare Krishna Mantra is said the only
way in this age of quarrel and hypocracy for attaining perfection.
2. The Rama-tapani Upanishad (1.6) explains each of the names of the maha-mantra in the following way:
harati tri-vidham tapam janma-koti-shatodbhavam papam ca smaratam yasmat tasmad dharir iti smritaha
"The
Lord is known as Hari because he takes away the sins—as well as the
three types of suffering that result from them—of those who remember
him. These are sins that are accumulated over millions of births."
krishir bhur-vacakah shab donash ca nirvriti-shucakahatayor aikyam param brahmakrishna ity abhidhiyate -"The
root krish indicates supreme attractiveness; the suffix na points to
ultimate joy. Thus, the name Krishna indicates the Supreme Brahman
[spirit], who is the culmination of both attractiveness and joy."
ramante yogino 'nante satyanande chid-atmani iti rama-padenasau param brahmabhidhiyate -"Yogis,
or those desiring to link with God, take pleasure in the Supreme Self
who manifests as an absolute form of eternity, knowledge, and bliss.
That same truth, known as the Parabrahman, is also called Rama."
3. All mantras and all processes for self-realization are compressed into the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. (Narada-pancaratra)
4. In
this age there is no use in meditation, sacrifice and temple worship.
Simply by chanting the holy name of Krishna--Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare--one can achieve perfect self-realization. (Vishnu Purana 6.2.17)
5. The
self-realization which was achieved in the Satya yuga millennium by
meditation, in the Treta yuga millennium by the performance of different
sacrifices, and in the Dvapara millennium by worship of Lord Krishna
[as the Deity in the temple], can be achieved in the age of Kali simply
by chanting the holy names, Hare Krishna. (Bhag.12.3.52)
6. Chant
the holy names, chant the holy names, chant the holy names. In this age
of Kali [this present age of quarrel and hypocracy] without a doubt
there is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way. (Brihan-naradiya Purana 38.126)
