What does Hare come from?
Govinda is the name of Shri Krishna. Literally it means the protector of cows. The name is derived from an incident in the life of teen-Krishna. The people of his clan used to pray Indra, the God of rain. He asked them to stop worshipping Indra and start worshipping the hill, which is the source of grass for their cattle and of water for them and of many medicinal herbs. This irritated Indra who made hell-storm for 7 days. Krishna lifted the hill to shelter the clans men and the cows. Indra accpeted defeat and named Krishna as Govinda. Hare is a form of the word Hari used in calling somebody. (Its equivalent to "O Hari") Gopala again is a name of Krishna meaning the inhavitant of the village Gopa. So Govinda hare gopala hare means calling the lord using these three names.
How do you become a Hare Krishna disciple?
Ok so that last answer was very bias. There's nothing wrong with becoming a Krishna Devotee ,in fact the changes I've seen in my friends lives as well as mine have been astronomical. But again that's not the answer to your question. The first thing you need to do is chant the Hare Krshna Mantra. Hare Krshna, Hare Krshna, Krshna Krshna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare That is the first principle in devotional service, mantra means "sound that liberates the mind from ignorance". The chanting of Gods holy names. You can do this by chanting (chanting beads preferred or otherwise know as Japa beads) or in a group with other devotees in song which is known as kirtan. Next Eating Prasadam In other words eating spiritually. The food you eat be prepared for Krishna and offered before you eat it for yourself there for it becomes karma free. This includes no meat eating, as meat eating continues the chain of suffering in this world and makes you a contributor. also to follow the four regulative principles on what to avoid 1.) Eating meat, fish , or eggs. 2.)Gambling 3.) The use of intoxicants 4.)illicit sex And of course reading the Bhagavad Gita and other Krsna literature, and associating with devotees. We are who we are closest too, as well as we are what we eat. The great thing about Hare Krishna consciousness is that you can take on as little or as much as your ready for. If you do follow through though, with even a few of these you'll be sure to notice a difference in your life. Hope this helped some, enjoy!
Can Hare Krishna members have contact with outside life?
Yes, they can. According to the Bhagavad Gita, one is required to do some work in this world, and full time members of the Krishna consciousness movement stay active all day, inside and outside the temple. However, by far the majority members live and work outside of the monastic temples. The traditional Vedic social system had younger persons spend a period of their life focused exclusively on spiritual education. After that, they may get married or stay as monastics; most Hare Krishnas opt for the married life after their time in the temple. I lived in a temple and now I'm studying at college. I know doctors, lawyers, psychologists, nurses, business owner etc who are Hare Krishnas.
