Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
The Srimad Bhagvad Gita, which is the sacred book of the Hindus says that Krishna and Krishna's name is the same. So, when you chant "Hare Krishna" you gain Krishna's consciousness inside of you, you connect with the supreme being, so you connect with the universe.
"Hare Krishna" is known as the "Maha-Mantra" as mentioned in the Kali-Santarana Upnishad during the Bhakti-movement by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
The "Hare Krishna Mahamantra" is composed of three words of the supreme being~ "Hare", "Krishna" and "Rama".
"Hare Krishna" is perhaps the most powerful but very easy mantra that anyone can chant without restrictions. In the truest might, this maha-mantra addresses the supreme power invoking its blessings on the chanter.

Benefit 3: You Can Get Awakened To Your "True Self"
In this fast-paced world, we have become so accustomed to the material universe that we have forgotten our true self- the self of the spiritual. And when we have become so material, we have developed fears of death, old-age, and diseases.As definite beings~ we fear the loss of power, beauty, wealth, intelligence and so many other things.
When we chant Hari-Naam we get this supreme realisation that we are the pure, change-less spiritual souls which is different to the materialistic body. Hari-Naam is a pure spiritual sound vibration, and it can help us develop the consciousness to understand our 'self'.
Benefit 4: You Can Change Your Negative Karmic Tendencies
The basic law of karma is equivalent to Newton's third law of motion: "For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction".
Spiritually, it means that for every material action performed, nature forces an equivalent reaction upon the performer. We as human beings transform ourselves from one karmic destiny to another.
Chanting Hare Krishna can help us build our positive karma as chanting Krishna means that we are chanting the name with "transcendental energy" to erase all the negatives that exists within us and then Attain "Moksha" (To free ourselves of this cycle of life, we need moksha and the liberation from the endless wheel of birth and death is also known as 'samsara'. This can only be achieved when our consciousness is completely free from material desires.)
when you chant "Hare Krishna" you gain Krishna's consciousness inside of you, you connect with the supreme being, so you connect with the universe. Pinterest
Benefit 5: You Get the The Most Salient Benefit~ You Understand "The Love of God"
The most important benefit of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra is to find God-realization and pure love of God.
When our consciousness becomes one with God, our positive nature is depicted in our character and behavior in the same phenomenon just as how the sun approaches the horizon, it is preceded by warmth and illumination.
Likewise, the name of Krishna is revived in our heart, which has been missing since the start of "Kali Yuga".
Chanting of Hare Krishna Mahamantra does not pertain to only recalling the name of god but it takes you on a journey of self-realisation through supreme consciousness thereby redeeming yourself from the mundane state of life.
