Srimati Radharanis Gayatri that can be chanted by vaisnava Bramanas :
To Radha, for increasing our devotion and divine love:
Aum Vrashbhanujaye Vidmahe
Krishnapriyaye Dhi-Mahi
Tanno Radha Prachodayat.
Translation: “Om. Let us meditate on Sri Radha, the beloved of Sri Krishna, the daughter of Vrishabhanu. May that Radha Devi inspire and illumine our mind and understanding.”

The Maha mantra is worship of Yugal Kisora ,Radha and Krishna
dear devotees
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Lord Caitanya has given us a Yugalkisora mantra..because the Hare Krishna Mahamantra invokes Radha Krsna.The Mahamantra is non different from Radha Krsna, Sri Krsna Caitanya Radha Krsna nahe anya ..Lord Caitanya is Radha Krishna combined so when we chant the Mahamantra we should remember each syllabel each name is Radha Krsna and chant every single word...if we chant with great carefullness and devotion we will feel the presence of Radha Krsna, provided we chant in a humble state of mind.Radha and Krsna are conected to all of us ,and Lord Caitanya has come to give us the mercy of Radha Krsna.If we chant this Mahamantra with love, then gradually Radha Krishna will appear in our heart, the more rounds we chant the better, but every day a prescribed number ,Srila Prabhupada gave a minimum of 16..Lord Caitanyas standard is minimum 64, the more we chant the names of Radha Krishna and depend on Their mercy in our life the more our life is a success ,Gopala Guru Goswami has given a wonderfull explanation to the Mahamantra:
We can chant in front the Deity of Radha Krsna and Lord Caitanya, or even a picture of Radha Krsna ,we should feel their presence in our life and meditate on Radha Krsna every day,this is what Lord Caitanya came to give ,love for Radha and Krsna.
Here is the summary of the pastimes of Lord Caitanya and Gopal Guru Goswamihttp://www.bvml.org/SBBTM/p_sggg.html
May they bless us to chant the Mahamantra with love.(Lord Caitanya and Gopala Guru Goswami)

An explanation of the Hare Krishna mantra
by Gopala Guru Goswami


Meaning as explained by Gopala Guru Gosvami, disciple of Svarupa Damodara of Puri:

The word "hare":

hari harati papani dusta cittair api smrtah
anicchayapi samsprsto dahaty eva hi pavakah
vijnapya bhagavat tattvam cid ghanananda vigraham
haraty avidyam tat karyam ato harir iti smrtah

"Just as the fire, on contacting an object, automatically burns it, so the name of Hari takes away (harati) or burns up all ht esins of the people with materialistic hearts. It removes (harati) all ignorance and reveals the transcendental, blissful form of the Lord. Also, 'hari' means that personality who attracts (harati) the minds of all the people in the universe when they hear stories of His transcendental qualities; or, He who attracts the minds of people by His beautiful youthful form. 'Hari' in the grammatical form of address, the vocative, or calling out to a person, becomes 'hare'."

The word 'hare' has another meaning:

svarupa prema vatsalyair harer harati ya manah
hara sa kathyate sadbhih shri radha vrsabhanuja

Hara is Shrimati Radhika, daughter of Vrsabhanu, who steals (harati) the mind of Hari, Krishna, by her unalloyed love. Hara, in the form of address, also becomes 'hare'.

The word 'Krishna':

krsir bhu vacakah sabdo nas cananda svarupakah
tayor aikyam param brahma krishna ity abhidhiyate

"The word 'krishna' is composed of the root 'krsi' meaning 'bhu,' the shelter of all existence and the word 'na' meaning 'nivriti' or the form of supreme bliss. Combined they form the word 'krishna' which signifies the param brahma, the supreme personality of Godhead with blissful form."

Krishna in the form of address remains as 'krishna.'

The word 'Rama':

ramante yogino 'nante nityanande cidatmani
iti rama padenaiva param brahmadbhidhiyate

"The param brahma is known as Rama because the yogis take pleasure (ramante) in meditating on His eternal, blissful form."

vaidagdhi sara sarvasva murti liladbhidevatam
shri radham ramayan nityam rama ity abhidhiyate

"The Supreme Lord is called Rama because He carries out pastimes of pleasure with the most beautiful Shri Radha."

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Krsna is most eager to always chant Radhas, name if we chant Krsna and Rama in the Mahamantra we please Radha, by chanting all the Hare's in the Mahamantra we attract Krishnas mercy,so lets not miss any names when we chant, Radha and Krishna is listening to our chanting, the more pure it becomes and the more we chant the more we gain
Their association,Lord Caitanya the combined incarnation of Rahda Krsna has asked us to chant 64 rounds..we should try to chant never less than 16 and try for 64 rounds..this is the proper way to worship Sri Radha on Radhastami simply chant Hare Krishna best with no offences

In this material world the sankirtana yajna of Harinama and bookdistribution and prasadam distribution is an extension of the supreme mercy of Srimati Radharani, the more we do this the more we share Her mercy and also recieve it
