Why Hare Krishna First? ..... (2)

 

The sastras and God Himself have given us the mahamantra with Hare Krishna first. Here is one more of several evidences:

In Ananta Samhita, it is very clearly stated:

hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare sodasaitani namani dvatrimsad varna kani hi kalau yuge mahamantrah sammato jiva tarane

“Hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna Krishna

 

Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama

 

Hare Hare. This hari-nama mahamantra

 

consists of sixteen names and thirty-two

 

syllables. In Kali-yuga this mantra can deliver

 

all jivas.”
