Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Hare Krishna" by Govindas and Radha are actually a chant or a mantra known as the Maha Mantra. This chant is a central aspect of the Hare Krishna movement, which is a Hindu devotional movement dedicated to Lord Krishna. The Maha Mantra is considered one of the most powerful mantras in Hinduism, and it is believed to bring spiritual enlightenment and a deep connection with God.


The lyrics of the song repeat the names of two Hindu deities, Krishna and Rama, along with the word "Hare." Krishna is considered the supreme God in Hinduism, known for his wisdom, charm, and divine playfulness. Rama is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is revered for his righteousness and dedication to duty. The word "Hare" represents Radha, who is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna and the embodiment of pure, divine love.


By repeating these names in the chant, devotees seek to invoke the presence and blessings of these divine entities. The repetition of the names is believed to purify the mind, awaken spiritual consciousness, and foster a deep connection with God. It is a way to surrender oneself completely to the divine and experience the bliss and love that is inherent in the divine presence.


Overall, the lyrics of "Hare Krishna" convey the essence of devotion, surrender, and the yearning for a profound spiritual connection with Lord Krishna and Radha.

My first Love @ISKCON Chennai while I was a BBA Student @ University of Madras. I used to walk 3 Kilometres broken, nasty road everyday morning to reach ISKCON Chennai Temple by 7.15 AM just to hear this eternal Brahmasamhita.

I am so indebted to His Grace Yamuna Mataji, Desciple of Srila Prabhupada for her heart touching eternal tune and attract me to the path of Lord Krishna from my trackless life.

I also express my gratitude to His Grace Viswaguru Chaitanya Dasadhikari Prabhu for introducing me to ISKCON and lifting me from the animal like life.

I request all my FB friends to hear the song attentively.

You are guaranteed to get attracted to Supreme personality of God Krishna.

Krishna Help Me, I Am Looking For You.
I am feeble, I stumble on my path.
Krishna, Lift Me Up.
I feel alone, but am I really lonely?
Krishna, show me I am not.
I Live , but am I really Alive?
Krishna, guide my actions.
Krishna Help Me Find You,
Not Outside Me.
But Within Me.
In Everything I Do,
Enlighten Me To Be Able To See You
In Every Action, In Every Breath, In Every Person
And In Everything That Exists.
(Krishna Is The Personification Of Existance, He Is Niether Male or Female, He Is Not Only Human but He Is In Every Bird and Flower, He Is The Guide For Us Human Beings Who Have The Ability To Think And Create Unlike any other creature. Krishna is the past, the present and the future, believe in him, try to follow his virtues, and nothing of this physical realm can harm you.)

I was 7 years old when I first heard this song on a cassette . Ever since I grew old , I was search in this song . I found it on internet today. Mark my words once you are in love with krishna there is no way you can step back. Because every time I try to run away I feel the love is even deeper than before . Hare Krishna hare rama.

@thehyperfinestructure6550

Indeed - Once Krishna goes in, He never goes out and we like that too!
😁
Glad you found what you were looking for since you were 7!

i was blessed to be Srila Prabhupad's cook and personal servant for a year and a half in the early 70's. Started in Los Angeles and then went to India, before we had any centers there, then on to 15 different countries. Starting in LA and whenever it was possible after that, His Divine Grace would have me play this song, sung by one of my best friends and most respected mentors, Her Holiness Srimati Yamuna Devi Dasi, in His room in the early morning hours. He would usually sit with His lotus eyes closed in a deep meditative mood, listening to the purity of her voice and depth of her devotion. One morning, tears were streaming down His lotus face and when it was over, He looked up with an amazing expression that's hard to describe and said with a soft and quivering voice... "Oh, she sings with such great devotion!" She passed away a few years ago, and often i pray that since i don't feel qualified to go back to Krishna or even to be with Srila Prabhupad again, since i made so many offenses out of an addiction to sense gratification, what i want to do is be with and serve the pure devotees that i knew and loved, like Yamuna Devi Dasi, Srila Gour Govinda Maharaj, Vishnujana Maharaj and Srila Bhaktiswarupa Damodar Maharaj, wherever they are now. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupad and all His pure disciples.
