The word "kirtan" is increasingly popular in yoga circles. The Sanskrit root kirti means “glory” or “fame”. We could therefore translate “kirtan” as meaning: a form of glorification, sung alone or in unison.

​

Although there are many mantras that serve different purposes, chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra 

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

 

is especially recommended for those who aspire to achieve the greatest benefit.

​

In the spiritual encyclopedia of Srimad-Bhagavatam (3000 BC), the great sage Sukadeva Goswami teaches King Pariksit:

“My dear King, although the era in which we live is like an ocean of faults, there is nevertheless a great quality in it: that simply by chanting the maha-mantra Hare Krishna , one can become free from the hold of material energy and thus move towards the spiritual world. "(12.3.51)
