The demon Kali is the source of all evil in the world. Lord Brahma tells Narada about how the presence of the demon Kali can be countered by saying the name of Lord Narayana.
This mantra was mentioned in the Upanishad as a part of a conversation between Narada and Lord Brahma. The mantra is equally effective and has the same powers when chanted in either way. This means that the verse starts with Hare Rama instead of Hare Krishna. Chanting the mantra can help you attain consciousness of Lord Krishna.Īccording to the Vaishnava tradition, the third and fourth verses precede the first and second verse.
