what is "harry krishna"?is this a person?

Answer 1

Not Harry Krishna dude. It is HARE Krishna. Krishna is the incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu in Hinduism. Bhagawat Gita was told by him is his teachings.

HARE KRSHNA is - A Hindu bhakti yoga religious group. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was founded in 1966 by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977), who migrated to the United States at the age of 70, soon after the passing of new immigration laws allowing the migration of Asians into America. During his adult life as a businessman, Prabhupada was initiated into Krishna Consciousness as a member of the Guadiya Matha Mission in Calcutta. Krishna Consciousness is a popular term given the revival movement founded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1534?), who taught intense devotion to the deity Krishna. Devotional activity was centered upon public dancing and chanting and temple worship before the statues of Krishna. Most characteristic of the movement was the repetition of the Hare Krishna mantra:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna
Hare Hare, Krishna Krishna
Hare Rama, Hare Rama
Hare Hare, Rama Rama.

In traditional Hindu teachings, Krishna and Rama are avataras, or incarnations of the god Vishnu, and those who worship Vishnu as their primary deity are called Vaishnavas (one of the three large religious groups in India). Bhakti yoga is the name given to the practice of following a path to God primarily through devotional activity.

Prabhupada was told by his guru, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami, to prepare himself to take Krishna devotion to the West. Krishna Consciousness had actually been introduced into the United States soon after the beginning of the twentieth century by another teacher from Bengal, Baba Bharati, but his organization died out soon after he returned to India. Soon after his arrival, Prabhupada began anew the task of introducing Krishna Consciousness to Westerners. He settled in New York City and soon established a following among young people, many of whom had flocked to New York as part of the social upheaval of the sixties. He had already published translations of the first three volumes of the Bhagavad Purana, and soon after he developed a following he published other important books of the tradition, the Bhagavad-gita As-It-Is and the Caitanya-caritamrita.

The groups became well known in the early 1970s. Members adopted Indian garb and attracted attention on the street, dancing, chanting, and distributing literature. As the anticult movement developed in the mid-1970s, they became a major target of deprogrammings.

In the early 1970s Prabhupada appointed a governing body commission (GBC) to manage his growing international society and to oversee ISKCON after his death. The GBC was made up of the initiating gurus who had been installed in the various areas to which the movement had spread, as well as other prominent leaders. Through the 1980s it had to deal with attacks on the movement from outside as well as internal disputes over successorship. Several top leaders of the society, who were serving as gurus after Prabhupada's death, gave up their vows which caused significant turmoil within ISKCON as well as public embarrassment. The guru of a large Krishna community in West Virginia, Kirtananda Swami, was excommunicated from ISKCON for ethical and religious violations in 1986, and was later jailed for federal crimes.

In the early 1990s the community had a multimillion dollar judgment (awarded at the height of the anticult struggles) overturned and then settled out of court. The judgment in the Robin George case had threatened to close several temples in the US and Canada. In the meantime, the movement spread internationally and now has centers in more than eighty countries. In the United States it has three thousand core members, full-time Krishna devotees, but is also supported by many thousands of congregational members, approximately half of whom are within the Indian American community.

Answer 2

Why do you have to get married to start your life with someone? Why can’t you just enjoy the relationship you have with him now, get to know him a little better, and then decide what steps to take later? I have heard of short term relationships that work out for years but IMO those are like one in a thousand. You asked if I feel you are rushing and my answer is an astounding Yes. Nine months, again in my opinion, is way too soon to call someone your mate for life. The annoying habits haven’t even surfaced yet. The real issues haven’t come up yet. You’re still in that loving stage where their **** smells like roses. I cannot stress enough that this is my opinion but I really, really think you should wait. Saying screw it is appropriate when its not something as big as a serious relationship: screw it, I’ll go for the flat screen. Screw it, I’ll buy the newer car model. Screw it, I’ll go for a walk in the rain. You don’t say screw it, I’ll just be with this guy. What kind of a decision is that?! There is a lot to consider. Love does not conquer all…you being divorced should know that first hand.

Answer 3

The Hare Krishna mantra, also referred to reverentially as the Maha Mantra ("Great Mantra"), is a sixteen-word Vaishnava mantra, made well known outside of India by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (commonly known as 'the Hare Krishnas')[1]. It is believed by practitioners to bring about a higher state of consciousness when heard, spoken, meditated upon or sung out loud[2]. According to Gaudiya Vaishnava theology this higher consciousness ultimately takes the form of pure love of God (Krishna).

Answer 7

as far as i know, hare krishna was a historical figure who lived in india 5,000 years ago and was claimed to have live for 125 years. he was said to be the supreme one but chose to live as a human being. i guess he was somewhat similar to jesus christ.

i read that "hare" means "the energy of god, and includes all the living entities who are also part of this spiritual potency"

on the other hand, "krishna" refers to "god as being all-attractive"

krishna is often depicted as having blue complexion shown in indian art / paintings..

hope that helps
