The Holy Names of God composing the song «Hare Krishna» are specially intended to counteract the terrible consequences of the present age, also called the Iron Age, the Black Age or the Dark Age, the age of discord, hypocrisy, quarrels, indifference, decay and sin.

No better method of spiritual realization for the present age can be found than this song in Sanskrit which means:

“O Lord, O energy of the Lord, O source of all happiness, please make me your beloved servant, allow me to serve you”.

Krishna and Rama are the Holy Names of God, and Hare is none other than his inner energy, his blissful energy.

The song of the Holy Names of God allows:

To eliminate all the sins accumulated in all our previous lives of material existence, to purify our defiled heart, to be delivered from the imprisonment in matter in this material world, to obtain spiritual knowledge, to progress and bring forth all forms of devotional service, to awaken our love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to taste spiritual happiness, to obtain the company of God and to devote oneself to his service of devotional love as if we were plunging into the waters of a great ocean of love and to reach, whatever the situations, for sure the supreme perfection.

For this, it is enough to recite or sing the sublime spiritual song «Hare Krishna» without committing offenses, so that the stain of the present age disappears within us, allowing us to find our original spiritual body and return to God, in our true original home.

This is the true resurrection.

Here are the ten offenses not to commit.

1. Blaspheme a devotee of the Lord.
2. Put the Lord and celestial beings on the same plane or believe in the existence of many gods.
3. Disregard the orders of the spiritual master.
4. Minimize the authority of the Vedas, the original Scriptures.
5. Interpret the Holy Name of the Lord.
6. Knowingly committing wrongdoing by relying on the chanting of the Holy Name to cancel the consequences.
7. Speak to unbelievers of the glories of the Name of the Lord.
8. Compare the chant of the Holy Name to material piety.
9. Be inattentive while chanting the Holy Names.
10. Remain attached to the matter despite the chanting of the Holy Names, and having heard so many instructions.
