"Hare Krishna" refers to a popular mantra in the Hindu tradition, specifically associated with the Gaudiya Vaishnavism movement. The mantra consists of the names of Lord Krishna and Radha, and is often chanted for spiritual enlightenment and devotion. It emphasizes the importance of love and devotion to God. The mantra is widely known through the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), founded by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the 1960s. ISKCON promotes the teachings of Bhagavad Gita and encourages followers to engage in devotional practices, including chanting, meditation, and community service.
