What is the relationship between the Krishna keshava pahi mam mantra and the Hare Krishna mantra?

What is the meaning of the mantras Krishna, Keshava and Hare Krishna? Actually, the Krishna-Keshava, Rama-Rama mantra is also found in the Chaitanya Siddhanta. Actually, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the Guru Mantra of India today. He described this mantra.

And the mantra primarily is in the range of Krishna, Krishna-Kesha, Krishna-Kesha, Krishna-Rama-Rama. And there is Raksha-manu and Pahi-manu. Raksha is protect, Pahi also is protect.

So basically, this is a prayer that comprises primarily of the recitation of the Holy Name. Along with call for action. Everyone can recite it and the ruris can also recite it.

And there are so many Holy Names in the Lord. There are many mantras with many Holy Names. And they are all auspicious.

As the Shastra says, So, All your names, all your potencies are manifested. So, actually, we can change the position. And this is the Keshava, our position.

So, Krishna-Kesha is also one of our mantras. We can change it. Now, We chant, not just so that we will get the spiritual benefit, but also because we want to lead Krishna.

And lead Krishna by proving his representativeness. So, within our Sampradana, our Acharya, that is Krishneshwar Gopal, have asked us to specifically concentrate on Hare Krishna only. And our initial vow is to chant Hare Krishna only.

And Hare Krishna Mahamudra is also the Brahma Taraka Naam of the speech. It has a special meaning, Brahma Taraka. Spiritually, that is the Taraka, that is the liberator, that is the deliverer.

So, this Brahma Taraka Naam is the special meaning that acts as the liberator in a particular moment. So, that is why we focus on this Hare Krishna Mahamudra. And the Hare Krishna Mahamudra does not have any prefix or suffix which indicates the intent.

It is like there is Padi Maam or Rakshi Maam which indicates that one is chanting the names with this particular intent. Hare Krishna Mahamudra has no co-ordinal part, no address part. There is no Namaha, there is no Akshara.

It is just a direct call of the heart with the name. And the names are all expressed. So, Gopal explained that it is like a child who has an infant calling out for the mother.

Now the infant, when it calls out for the mother, the infant does not have to express this name. Because the mother and the infant are so intimately connected that the mother immediately understands what her child wants. Similarly, the Lord is present in our heart and the Lord understands what we need.

And we believe that we need very personal things also. But our greatest need is actually the need for a general connection with Krishna. And that connection is to service.

That's why Sri Prabhupada explains that the mood of the chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamudra is, My dear Lord, it is the source of all attraction, it is the reservoir of all attraction, Krishna, everything is about Krishna. My dear Lord, it is the source of peace, it is the source and reservoir of all pleasure, that is the Namaha. Energy of the Lord, that is the hara and kamphare in the Hare Krishna Mahamudra.

We engage in Lord's service. The mood of the chanting is we engage in Lord's service. We are the divine couple, Lord and Krishna and we are the children.

And we are lost from their connection. We are lost in this material world. We are like the prodigal son talked about in the Bible.

We are the extreme children. And we want to return back to our parents. So, the other sampradayas are Hare and Hare Krishna Mahamudra's chants.

And they often refer to Hare as referring to Hari. Not Hari. So, Hare can be a changed format of Hari and it can be changed format of Hara also.

So, in our culture, in our sampradayas, where the Madhurya is of prominence and we understand that we approach the Supreme Lord through the Supreme Devotee. Then we approach Lord Krishna and Lord Ram through Hara. To Radharani.

That's why our Acharyas have explained that this Hara does not refer to Hari. It can also refer to Hari. And there is no offense if some people see that it refers to Hari.

But when we chant it, we chant it in the form of referring to Hara and Radharani. And we pray to our Divine Father and Father please reunite us with this in their eternal family. Please engage us in their service.

By their service, we will be connected with them in this world and at the end of our life we will return back to them to each other within our dreams. So, please engage us in the service of the Divine Couple. That is the goal with which we chant Hare Krishna.
