A Vedic Bhakti art devotional slideshow featuring artwork images of The Supreme Personality Of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna and His Eternal Consort Srimati Radharani. The Video is set to the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra (The great chant for deliverance from material suffering) performed by the Shyamananda Kirtan Band. The sixteen sacred sound syllables and a short explanation of the Maha-Mantra follow..... HARE KRISHNA MAHAMANTRA Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Srila Prabhupada says: Rama and Krishna are names of God, and Hare is the energy of God. So when we chant the maha-mantra, we address God together with His energy. This energy is of two kinds, the spiritual and the material. At present we are in the clutches of the material energy. Therefore we pray to Krishna that He may kindly deliver us from the service of the material energy and accept us into the service of the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. Hare Krishna means, “O energy of God, O God [Krishna], please engage me in Your service.“ It is our nature to render service. Somehow or other we have come to the service of material things, but when this service is transformed into the service of the spiritual energy, then our life is perfect.
