As a former Hare Krishna, I can tell you the reason that I started Krishna Bhakti practice in the first place, the reason I joined ISKCON, and the reason that, after leaving ISKCON, I remained a Krisnha Bhakta almost 2 more years, is because the practice works. Chanting Hare Krishna worked. It was incredible. In hindsight, the reason that it works is because it's self-hypnosis.
But... the thing is, I've used other mantras, and they don't do the same thing. (a thread)
