mṛdaṅgo-karatāla saṅkīrtana-mahādhvani
‘hari’ ‘hari’— dhvani vinā anya nāhi śuni
SYNONYMS
mṛdaṅgo —drum;  karatāla —hand bells;  saṅkīrtana —chanting of the holy name of the Lord;  mahā-dhvani —great vibration;  hari —the Lord;  hari —the Lord;  dhvani —sound;  vinā —except;  anya —another;  nāhi —not;  śuni —one can hear.
TRANSLATION
When the  saṅkīrtana  movement thus started, no one in Navadvīpa could hear any other sound than the words “Hari! Hari!” and the beating of the  mṛdaṅga  and clashing of hand bells.
PURPORT
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness now has its world center in Navadvīpa, Māyāpur. The managers of this center should see that twenty-four hours a day there is chanting of the holy names of the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra , with the addition of  haraye namaḥ ,  kṛṣṇa yādavāya namaḥ , for this song was a favorite of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But all such  saṅkīrtana  must be preceded by the chanting of the holy names of the five  tattvas — śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda . We are already accustomed to chant these two  mantras — śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda  and Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Now, after these, the other two lines—namely,  haraye namaḥ ,  kṛṣṇa yādavāya namaḥ /  gapāla govinda rāma śrī-madhusūdana —should be added, especially in Māyāpur. Chanting of these six lines should go on so perfectly well that no one there hears any other vibration than the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. That will make the center spiritually all-perfect.
