The Raja Krsna Mantra?
Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2007-12-14 · 3 answers
It`s a new mantra. It doesn`t compete with the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.It goes like this: Raja Krsna Raja Krsna Krsna Krsna Raja Raja/ Raja Rama Raja Rama Rama Rama Raja Raja. It`s a tribute to the bravery of the Raja Brothers of Vijayanagara, Southern India. Described as Krsnaraja & Ramaraja, they were the only unbeaten ones who fought against the muslim invaders in the early 1500s.Southern India. This last stranglehold of Vaishnavism was ruled by the Raja Brothers, Krsnaraja & Ramaraja until their departure to other locations. Southern India was later captured by the muslim invaders led by the Sultan of Bijar.Lord Chaitanya must have been aware of the Raja Brothers` existence. His advocacy of the Hare Krsna maha mantra may have been incidental or political to encourage not discourage those hindu warriors weakened by demoraliztions to fight not give up their land against the invading muslims. If I chant Raja Krsna, it`s because I`m a fan of the Raja Brothers of Vijayanagara.

Sounds like speculation and sentiment to me. Did Prabhupada ever mention such a thing? Which acarya condones such a mantra? Dont waste your time just chant Hare Krishna Maha-mantra and be happy.user [234] · 2007-12-14
Hahaha. Of course I chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. But I`m a fan of Raja Krsna Raja Krsna Krsna Krsna Raja Raja. If I`m wasting my time, well, I have several lifetimes to do that!user [1] · 2007-12-14
Warning: this is NOT a question, if you have a statement to make, the internet is vast enough to make your claim known elsewhere.
