In 1974, Srila Prabhupada, in a discorse in Honalulu, made mention of how to get through this age of Kali. Therefore śāstra says that "You simply take to the chanting of the holy name of God." harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam kalau nāsthy eva nāsthy eva nāsthy eva gatir anyathā In this age, there is no other way. That you will feel when you take to chanting without any offence. Neither are we charging. We are simply distributing this knowledge, that Chant Hare Krishna mantra; all problems will be solved." In this discorse, Prabhupad was making reference to the Sanskrit verse from Brhan-naradiya Purana, named after the great sage Narada. I love what Prabhupad had to say on "You haven't got to spend any money for this chanting, neither we are charging. We are simply distributing this knowledge, that Chant Hare Krishna mantra". I am not too sure about all problems being solved. However, this mantra does elevate your vibration at a consciousness level. The chanting of the Holy Names is the essence of Krishna Consciousness. Harer Nama Harer Naama Harer Namaiva Kevalam Khalau Nasthieva Nasthieva Nasthieva Gathiranyatha • Harer: Of (Lord) Hari's • Nama: (namam) Name • Harer: Of (Lord) Hari's • Nama: (namam) Name • Harer: Of (Lord) Hari's • Namaiva: (namam): Name, (iva/eva): only/alone • Kevalam: Soley/and nothing else • Khalau: In Kali (yug) • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really/certainly/truely • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really/certainly/truely • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really/certainly/truely • Gatir: Coming to me/Progress • Anyatha: Otherwise than this Translation • Name of Hari • Name of Hari • Name of Hari alone • Nothing else in Kali (yug) • really no way • really no way • really no way • of coming to Me • other than this. Another manuscript renders the sastra this way: harer namaiva namaiva namaiva mama jivanam kalau nasthi eva nasthi eva nasthi eva gatir anyatha • Harer: Of (Lord) Hari's • Namaiva: (namam): Name, (iva/eva): only/alone • Namaiva: (namam): Name, (iva/eva): only/alone • Namaiva: (namam): Name, (iva/eva): only/alone • Mama: My • Jivanam: Life (the nam suffix adds process/work to the stem) • Khalau: In Kali (yug) • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really • Nasthi eva: (nasthi):lost/no way, eva: really • Gatir: Coming to me/Progress, • Anyatha: Otherwise than this • Name of Hari only, name only, name only, is my lifes work • Nothing else in Kali (yug) • really no way • really no way • really no way • of coming to Me • other than this. The verse itself, is taken from the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta (17.21), and, gives clear instructions on how to cross the age of Kali. The chanting of the lords names.
