Welcome back to another episode of Mahakatha, the podcast where we dive deep into the power of mantras and meditation. I'm your host, Preeti, and today's episode is all about the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.

This mantra has been creating waves of love and healing for years, and we are so grateful for the ongoing support and beautiful comments from our listeners. In fact, we have a special treat for all of you who want to incorporate this powerful mantra into your daily practice.

But before we get into that, I want to share a heartfelt story that inspired me, and I believe it will bring a new dimension to your experience with the Hare Krishna Mahakatha.

Picture a beautiful park, where elderly citizens gather every morning to practice pranayama and laughter therapy. As I sat in my apartment nearby, I could hear their sweet, resonating voices chanting a mantra that melted my heart. It was as if the fragrance of incense filled the air, only this time it was the gentle sound of their chanting.

This experience had a profound effect on me and my own chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahakatha. It influenced my voice, creating a unique sound that I'm thrilled to share with you. This mantra holds a special place in my heart, as it was recorded several years ago on Janmashtami, a day dedicated to Lord Krishna.

In this episode, I'll take you back to that auspicious day when I received a phone call from my brother, Prashant, urging me to quickly record a Krishna mantra for our listeners. I had just woken up, my voice still filled with the softness of the morning, and I needed to think of a mantra that would resonate deeply.

Thankfully, I remembered a simple Krishna mantra that had touched my soul, and as I chanted it, I was transported to a place of pure bliss. The power and transformative effect of this mantra, combined with my own personal experience, created something truly captivating.

This mantra is easy to learn, and it doesn't feel exhausting or forced to chant. With its melodious melody, soothing music, and the space it creates around you, it can be practiced at any time of the day, not just in the morning.

So, get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting Hare Krishna Mahakatha, as we explore its origins, share its captivating story, and provide you with a special discount to make it a part of your personal mantra practice. Stay tuned, and let's begin this beautiful journey together.

Hi, today I'm going to share a story about one

of my personal favorite mantras that we've

released on Mahakatha. It was recorded a number of years ago

and I will never forget how I came to

record that mantra. Namaste and welcome to a

brand new episode of the Mahakatha Meditation Mantras

podcast. I'm your host, Preeti, and in today's

episode, like I promised, I'm going to share

the story of how we recorded a

very popular mantra. So this one morning,

I receive a phone call from my elder brother Prashant,

who co runs the channel with me

and he says, Listen, today is

Janmashtami and I somehow forgot,

but people are going to come to our channel expecting to

hear a nice Krishna mantra for them.

Mahakatha is the channel where people will want

to come and find a good mantra, especially

on days like these. So can you please quickly record a

Krishna mantra? Just record it and share it with me. I'll take care of the

rest. I remember this because it was

very early in the morning and I'd just woken up and I

had my morning voice. You know, the morning voice

we all have. It's a little more hoarse, it's a

little more bassy than usual, it sounds a little

different. So I was still in my morning

voice and I had to quickly think of a Krishna

mantras to chant for my listeners who were

probably waiting for a new mantra. And just a few

seconds later, I realized there was a very clear

choice. There was a very simple mantra

that I could chant that I know my listeners

would connect to because I connected to that mantra on a very,

very deep level. I had heard this

mantra chanted a hundred different ways

and the sweetest rendition of this

mantra would actually come from near

the apartment where we used to stay. There was this park where

elderly citizens used to gather every morning and they used to chant

and practice pranayama and laughter therapy so you could really

hear them from my apartment. And I had

heard them chanting this mantra and I remember

how sweet it sounded and how it melted my heart to

hear those soft voices. I can't even

describe how pleasant it was to

hear that chanting in such a gentle

way. It was almost the equivalent of

the faint smell of incense going around in

the room. You know that light, pleasant

feeling that just wafts in the air when

there is an incense stick burning. It was

that kind of a divine and powerful feeling

to just wake up and hear them chant that

way first thing in the morning. And that is

exactly the way I chose to chant the

Hare Krishna Mahakatha. That is the reason that if you go and

listen to this mantra, you will find that I sound a little different.

My voice has a different texture

than my usual voice in other mantras. It's

because I chanted the mantra almost the first thing in the morning,

which is very unusual, but needless

to say, at that early hour of the morning,

I thoroughly enjoyed and I was thoroughly

transported as I was chanting this mantra and recording

this mantra. So I think it is the power of the

mantra, combined with the experience that I

had, that has fused into this mantra that you

hear and that is getting transferred to you when

you hear it and when you feel transported and

relieved and uplifted. And to this day, it remains

one of my favorite mantras. It is a mantras

that anyone can easily learn to chant.

It does not feel exhausting, it does not feel

forced, because after the first few seconds

you will find that the mantra just rolls off your

tongue. You get accustomed to the sounds of the mantra

very easily and very smoothly. And the way

that we have chosen to render this mantras

with the melody, the music,

the space that we created around this

mantra, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra,

is an ideal chant for you to practice any

kind of meditation, not just early in the morning,

at any time during the day. And you will come out

feeling lighter, feeling more present, no

matter what you do next. So that is the power of the

Hare Krishna Mahamantra. And even though we

released it quite a few years ago now, I

still remain thankful for all the comments and the

love that keeps coming back to this

chant. Now, if you have not

listened to this mantra yet, or if you would like to make it

a part of your daily practice and extract the kind

of joy and calmness and presence that I'm talking

about, then as always, as a listener of this

mantra, you enjoy this mantra a little more. Now,

I know Krishna Janmashtami is coming up soon again

and I already have so many ideas

about the kinds of mantras and stotrams and shlokas I

want to bring to you and I'm really excited to work

on them, to create them for you and to share them with you and to

hear back from you. So there's a lot of good stuff in store for you

dear listener. I'm going to be back very soon with

another episode of the podcast, another story and another

mantra. Until then, stay blessed.
