Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare"These 16 names are all that is required to deliver one from the darkness of ignorance and situate him or her on the highest platform of God-realisation. Krsna is not an Indian God, or the head of the "Hindu" religion. "Hare" is the vocative or spoken word used to address the supreme Lord "Hari." Krsna is an address we use for the Lord, asking him to please deliver us from the maya of material existence. And when we say "Rama" we are requesting the Lord to please sport with us. We humbly request every one to take this sublime procces of bhakti-yoga and become truely happy in this life."

"Keeping one's body, neck and head erect and steady, one should fix one's vision solely on the tip of the nose. Thus, following strict celibacy, becoming fearless, peaceful and controlling the mind, one should practice yoga by meditating on Me with one-pointed attention, remaining always devoted to Me."

"Thus, constantly keeping the mind absorbed in Me through yoga by following the process, a yogi whose mind is controlled, can become situated in My svarupa (nirvisesh Brahma) and attain santi in the form of complete emancipation."
