Bhakti Marga- Hare Rama Hare krishna

Bhakti Marga- The path of Bhakti or Devotion. 

The following conversation between Sri Nãrada Maharishi and Lord Brahma is found in Kali Santarana Upanishad.

At the end of Dwãpara Yuga, Nãrada, after traveling around the world, approached Lord Brahma and asked him, “How may I overcome (the evil effects of) Kali Yuga?”

Lord Brahma said: “You have asked me an excellent question. I shall reveal to you the secret of all the Vedas by which you will cross over the ‘samsãra’ (ocean of life) filled with the bad effects of the Kali Yuga. This secret must be preserved and protected.”

“Bhagavata ãdipurushasya nãrãyanasya nãmoccãranamãtrena nirdhrtakalir bhavati |

 nãradah punah papraccha tannãma kimiti,”   said Lord Brahma

—-By merely uttering the names of the Primeval ‘Purusha’, who is Bhagavan Narayana, one is freed from the clutches of Kali.

 Nãrada asked further, “sa hovaca hiranyagarbhah” |

—-What are those names of Narayana?”

 “HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE |

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE”

—-“O Hari, O Rama, O Hari, O Rama, O Rama O Rama, O Hari, O Hari!

O Hari, O Krishna, O Hari, O Krishna, O Krishna O Krishna, O Hari, O Hari!”

 “iti shodashakam nãmnãm kalikalmashanãshanam |

natah parataropãyah sarvavedeshu drushyate” ||

—Lord Brahma said, “This collection of the sixteen Names (of Narayana) destroys the evils of the Kali Yuga. I don’t see any other effective means (of liberation) in the Vedas.
