Methods employed in this process include self-discipline, especially in connection with sexuality; specific rituals; and the singing recitation of the Krishna mantra —“Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna; Krishna, Hare, Hare; Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama, Rama; Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare” , accompanied by dancing.
