Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to spread this maha-mantra to all the fallen souls of Kali Yuga, regardless of qualification. Now, technically, there are Vedic injunctions that the Vedic mantras (such as this mantra of the Kalisantarana Upanishad which is from the Krishna Yajur Veda) are not to be publically chanted, and they are never to be chanted by shudras, women, etc. Therefore in order to solve the problem, while keeping within the context of the injunction of the Vedas and thus not offending the Brahmins, Mahaprabhu reversed the two halves. It is equally potent either way and this way it can be freely distributed, chanted in sankirtan, etc.

The Kalisantarana Upanishad of Krishna Yajur Veda

Anand Hudli


The word "Upanishad" means the knowledge a Guru, well versed in the
Vedas, imparts to his disciple, seated near him. The Vedas provide two
kinds of knowledge - para and apara. Apara vidya consists of knowledge
which leads to material prosperity, but para vidya leads one to moksha
or liberation. Para vidya consists of the right knowledge of God and
the means of reaching Him. Certainly, para vidya is superior to apara
vidya. This para vidya of the Vedas is contained in the heart of the
Vedas, the Upanishads.

The Upanishads are also known as Vedanta or the conclusions of the Vedas.
It is impossible to overstate the influence of the Upanishads on the
major philosophical systems of India, including the Advaita, Visistadvaita,
and the Dvaita.

The Vaisnava Acharyas are, of course, quite emphatic in prescribing
Bhakti as the only means of achieving moksha in this age, the Kali
Yuga. Madhva quotes the following from the Narayana Samhita in his
commentary on the Mundaka Upanishad:

dvAparIyair janair viShNuh
pancarAtraistu kevalaih
kalau tu nAmamAtreNa
pUjyate bhagavAn harih ||

"In the Dvapara Yuga, people worshiped Vishnu according to the
principles described in the Pancaratra. In the Kali Yuga, Bhagavan
Hari is to be worshiped simply by chanting His names."

Madhva writes in his famous Dvadasha Stotra:

SruNutAmalasatyavacah paramam SapatheritamucchritabAhuyugam |
na hareh paramo na hareh sadRSah paramah sa tu sarvacidAtmagaNAt ||

"Listen (O devotees) to the pure and true words which I proclaim with
uplifted arms! There is none superior to Hari; there is none equal or
similar to Hari. Certainly, He is superior to the host of all sentient
beings."


The Kalisantarana Upanishad of the Krishna Yajur Veda instructs us to
perform the japa of the names of Hari, Rama and Krishna. It asserts
that this mantra is the best way to overcome the evils of Kali Yuga.
The mantra may be chanted without any restrictions or injunctions,
whether one is in a clean or unclean state.

The crest-jewel of all Vaishnava scriptures, the Bhagavata, recommends
the chanting of the divine names of Krishna, and thus echoes the
teaching of the Upanishad.

kalerdoShanidhe rAjannasti hyeko mahAn guNah |
kIrtanAdeva kRShNasya muktasangah param vrajet || 12.3.51

"In the repository of faults/evils that is Kali Yuga, O King
(Parikshit), there is one great virtue. Simply by singing the praises
of Krishna, one becomes free from all material attachments, and
attains the Supreme."

kRte yad dhyAyato viShNum tretAyAm yajato makhaih |
dvApare paricaryAyAm kalau taddharikIrtanAd || 12.3.52

"The result one obtained in the Krita Yuga by meditating on Vishnu, in
the Treta Yuga by performing Yajnas for the sake of Vishnu, in the
Dvapara Yuga by serving Him, is obtained in the Kali Yuga by singing
the glories of Hari."
