 | | Krishna (IAST kṛṣṇa, the Sanskrit for "dark" or "black"), is according to common Hindu tradition the eighth avatar of Vishnu. | | | However Krishna has become the most important and popular focus of the devotional and ecstatic aspects of Hindu religion. | | | According to the Vishnu sahasranama, Krishna is the 57th name of Vishnu, and also means the "Existence of Knowledge and Bliss". |

| | Chanting Hare Krishna |
| | In Bhagavad-gita (10.25) Sri Krishna explains that He is the transcendental om mantra and that the chanting of japa (chanting a mantra quietly for one's own meditation) is the purest of His representations and sacrifices. | | | This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (4.6-8) where Lord Krishna explains that although He is unborn and the Lord of all living beings, He still descends in His spiritual form in order to re-establish the proper religious principles and annihilate the miscreants whenever there is a decline of religion and a rise in irreligious activity. | | | Lord Krishna goes on to explain to Uddhava that in the association of saintly devotees, there is always the discussion about Him, and those who partake in such hearing and chanting about the Lord's glories are certainly purified of all sins. |

| | BBC - Hereford and Worcester - Faith - The 'Hare Krishna' movement |
| | The Primary role of the Krishna consciousness movement is to spread the process of mantra meditation (chanting/singing God's holy Names) around the world and to promote the understanding of 'sanatana dharma' as it is described in the ancient Vedic scriptures (such as Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and the Upanishads). | | | This act of worshipping Krishna or God is identified in the ancient Vedic scriptures of India as 'sanatana-dharma', literally meaning 'eternal duty'. | | | 'Krishna' is a name for God which means 'all-attractive' - God has many names around the world such as Allah or Jehovah, just as the sun is also known by various names in the different languages of the world. |

| | The Hare Krishna movement technically "began" about 500 years ago, its inaugurator being Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the 16th-century mystic, scholar and social reformer, who is accepted by Vedic scriptural evidence to be the Supreme God Himself. | | | Therefore "Hare Krsna" is a cultural, philosophical and religious movement which is intended for the reformation of the entire human society. | | | "Hare" means the "devotional energy of God," and "Krsna" and "Rama" mean "the Supreme Personality of Godhead". |

| | However, the Vedas explain that the process of Krishna Consciousness is the quickest way, and the chanting of the holy names of the Lord is the only process for the age we live in. | | | The Hare Krishna mantra is Sanskrit, is and is not really translatable into other languages in a practical usage sense. | | | The philosophy of Krishna Consciousness has something unique to offer that cannot be found in any other religion, because it is the process of actually getting to know God personally, and entering into a relationship with Him. |
