Śrī Nāma Saṅkīrtana

The Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is the most merciful incarnation of the Supreme Lord in this age of Kali. As stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, there is no difference between the Supreme Lord and His holy name. Chanting these transcendental sound vibrations purifies the heart and awakens pure love of Godhead.

The Power of Collective Chanting

Congregational chanting is especially praised in the teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and helps devotees support one another in remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.

Global Yajña

Receive live darshan from ISKCON temples when broadcasts are verified, and let temple worship support remembrance of Kṛṣṇa across time zones.

Eternal Sādhana

Use daily japa, śāstra, līlā and calendar tools to support steady personal nāma-bhajana.

Collective Bhakti

Support one another through shared remembrance, attentive chanting, śāstra study, and respectful Vaiṣṇava association.

How to Participate

"harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā"

In this age of Kali, there is no other means of spiritual realization than chanting the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way, no other way, no other way.

— Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 17.21

The Science of Śabda-Brahma

The mahā-mantra consists of three transcendental names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead: Hare, Kṛṣṇa, and Rāma. These are not material sound vibrations but Śabda-Brahma (spiritual sound) that directly connects the chanter with the spiritual realm. This practice is recommended in all Vedic scriptures as the essential spiritual activity for this age.
