*Glorification of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra:*
In Kali Santarana Upanishad, it is mentioned, “These 16 names composed of 32 syllables are the only means counteracting the evil effect of Kali Yuga. After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion for this age so sublime as the chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra”
According to Brihad Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra and Brahmanda Purana, one name of Rama is equal to 1000 names of Vishnu and three names of Rama is equal to one name of Krishna.
In Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, there are 4 Krishnas.
4 Krishnas = 4 * 3 = 12 Ramas.
Also, there are another 4 Ramas in the Mantra.
So, 12 + 4 = total of 16 Ramas in the Mantra.
1 Rama = 1000 Vishnus (equivalent to 1 Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram).
Therefore, 16 Ramas = 16 * 1000 = 16,000 Vishnus.
So, One Maha Mantra = 16,000 Vishnus (equivalent to 16 Vishnu Sahasranama Stotrams).
It takes about 5.5 hours to recite 16 times of Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram. But, same benefit is easily obtained by chanting ‘Hare Krishna’ Maha Mantra one time in few seconds.
In one Japa Mala, there are 108 beads.
So, One Japa Mala = 108 * 16,000 = 17,28,000 Vishnus.
16 rounds of Japa Mala = 17,28,000 * 16 = 2,76,48,000 Vishnus.
