Thus, "Hare" refers either to Lord Hari or to Srimati Radharani. "Krsna" means "The All-Attractive". The syllable "krs" is the attractive aspect of the Lord and "na" is derived from the word "ananda", "spiritual bliss". "Rama" means "spiritual enjoyment". It is a name of Sri Balarama, but also of Sri Ramacandra. The Hare Krsna maha-mantra expresses the following prayer: "Oh energy of Krsna (Hare,Radhe), Oh Krsna, please engage me in Your devotional service."
