Chanting the Maha mantra
Although "Hare Krsna" has become a household word, practically nobody knows what it means. Is it merely a repetitious incantation designed to hypnotize its practitioners? Is it a form of escapism? Or is it a genuine meditation that can actually summon higher awareness? In this short essay, recorded on his first LP in late 1966, Srila Prabhupada illuminates the inner meaning of the Hare Krsna mantra.
The transcendental vibration established by the chanting of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the sublime method for reviving our transcendental consciousness. As living spiritual souls, we are all originally Krsna conscious entities, but due to our association with matter from time immemorial, our consciousness is now adulterated by the material atmosphere.
Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare is the transcendental process for reviving this original, pure consciousness. By chanting this transcendental vibration, we can cleanse away all misgivings within our hearts. The basic principle of all such misgivings is the false consciousness that I am the lord of all I survey.

A successful marathon
All glories to all the vaisnavas who devotedly participated in the November fundraising marathon. We understand that these trying times do not allow everyone to lend a hand. Nevertheless, without the assistance of our donors, this website would not exist.
This year, the challenge was quite steep as we set out to provide the website with an ultra performing dedicated server. The challenge was met successfully. Everyone will now be able to surf the Prabhupadavani website and hear the nectarean classes, conversations and bhajans of our revered spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, without hindrance.
Srila Prabhupada's books narration by Amala Bhakta prabhu are also a great feature of this website and you are invited to take advantage of them. Just like last year, you will be able to hear Srimad-Bhagavatam and Caitanya-Caritamrta.
Millions of dandavats again and again to the prabhupadavani supporters.
