And after chanting thrice rāma-nāma, it is equal to one kṛṣṇa-nāma. This is said in the śāstra. So this Hare Kṛṣṇa . . . Of course, in some Purāṇas the beginning is Hare Rāma, but in many Purāṇas it is Hare Kṛṣṇa. So we have no objection. Either you begin with Hare Rāma or Hare Kṛṣṇa, we have no objection. But the śāstra says, kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya. The Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, there is no difference, but why in the śāstra it is said, kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya? So Hare Kṛṣṇa is quite to the rulings of the śāstra. There is no discrepancies, although we have no objection—either you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa or Hare Rāma.
