The Hare Krishna Movement Can Diminish the Burden of the World

The Hare Krishna mahamantra is at potent as Krishna himself

Another stark description of the world's situation by Shrila Prabhupada. Without reference to the supreme power of the Personality of Godhead, demons assert themselves to be independent kings and presidents, and thus they create a disturbance by increasing their military power. When such disturbances are very prominent, Krishna appears. At present also, various demoniac states all over the world are increasing their military power in many ways, and the whole situation has become distressful. Therefore Krishna has appeared by His name, in the Hare Krishna movement, which will certainly diminish the burden of the world. Philosophers, religionists, and people in general must take to this movement very seriously, for man-made plans and devices will not help bring peace on earth. The transcendental sound Hare Krishna is not different from the person Krishna.

nama chintamanih krishnas

chaitanya-rasa-vigrahah

purnah suddho nitya-mukto

'bhinnatvan nama-naminoh

[Cc. Madhya 17.133]

(Padma Purana)

There is no difference between the sound Hare Krishna and Krishna the person.
