Jaya Shri Krishna Chaitanya with Satyananda and Aziza

“Jaya Shri Krishna Chaitanya” honors Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his closest disciples and companions. Jaya means “invocation of,” and Shri Krishna Chaitanya is the great founder of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. The Hare Krishna community is also part of this tradition.

This mantra is also known as the Pancha-Tattwa Mantra, as it invokes the five companions of Shri Krishna Chaitanya. They are considered aspects of Chaitanya. It is recommended to always sing this kirtan first, before reciting the Maha Mantra.

Swami Sivananda had great devotion to Shri Krishna Chaitanya, even though he came from a different tradition.

One can first recite this mantra and then sing the Maha-Mantra—that is, the great mantra, the “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” mantra.

Here you can hear a recording featuring Satyananda and Aziza from a Yoga Vidya Saturday evening satsang in Bad Meinberg on May 3, 2025.

Lyrics:
Jaya Shri Krishna Chaitanya,
Prabhu Nityananda /
Shri Advaita Gadadhara
Shrivasadi Gaurabhakta Vrinda // 1 //

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare /
Hare Rama Hare Rama,
Rama Rama Hare Hare // 2 //
