Abstract

This research paper delves into the intricate mathematical structure and significant psychological benefits of the Hare Krishna mantra, chanted by followers of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). The mantra, originating from the Bhagavad Gita, is "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare." Through mathematical analysis, we examine the repetitive patterns and symmetrical properties of the mantra. Additionally, we explore the psychological impact of chanting, focusing on its positive effects on mental health, emotional stability, and the alignment of the human body's chakras. The findings highlight how the mantra's structure contributes to its meditative and therapeutic effects, promoting overall well-being.
