The words "Hare" (pronounced ha-ray), "Krishna" (pronounced krish-na), and "Rama" (rhymes with "drama"), are Sanskrit words. "Hare" is an address to God's energy, known as Radha, and "Krishna" is name of God meaning "He who is attractive to everyone." "Rama" means "one who gives pleasure and enjoys life."

When chanted the maha-mantra is a petition to God: "O Krishna, O energy of Krishna, please engage me in Your service."
