Definition - What does Maha Mantra mean?
In yoga, chanting a mantra focuses concentration on a single thought or stills the mind in meditation.
The maha mantra is also known in English as the great mantra or the Hare Krishna mantra.
The vibration of the mantra sounds is thought to activate spiritual energy. Specifically, the maha mantra is chanted for God-realization and to achieve a higher level of consciousness. The maha mantra repeats just three words/names: Krishna, Rama and Hare, which is believed by some to be the energy of Hari (Vishnu) and to others, Hara (Shakti).
