​

Refrain: Lord Gaurachanda sings the mahamantra for the deliverance of all fallen souls! Hare Krsna Hare!

1) Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare! Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare!

2) Fill yourself with divine love by chanting loudly just once all these names of Krsna, “O Nanda-Nandana! O Yasoda Jivana! O Sri Radha Ramana!”

3) Dancing with your arms in the air, chant “O Sri Madhusudana! O Gopi Prana Dhana! O Murli Vadana! O Agha Nisudana! O Putana-Ghatana! O Brahma-Vimohana!”
