The Kali-Santaraṇa Upaniṣad or ' (कलिसन्तरणोपनिषद्) is an Upanishad associated with the Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda. This text is listed in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. This Upanishad is particularly revered by Gaudiya Vaishnavas, as the Hare Krishna〔() sa hovaca hiranyagarbah hare krishna hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare. hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare; () iti shodashakam namnam, kali-kalmasha-nashanam; natah parataropayah, sarva-vedeshu drishyate. () Lord Brahma replied, “The sixteen words-Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare; Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare-are especially meant for completely destroying all the contamination of Kali. To save oneself from the contamination of Kali-yuga, there is no alternative in all theVedas except the chanting of this sixteen-word mantra.〕 mantra, which is chanted by them, is referred to in this Upanishad (by Lord Brahma, in verse 5): This maha-mantra consisting of sixteen names of Krishna is the destroyer of the (16-layered) illusory covering of all the living entities. Only when the coverings are destroyed, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear in the heart of the living entities, just like the sun appears with full intensity when the clouds are removed. There are no rules and regulations to chant this maha-mantra. It should be chanted always irrespective of whether one is in a pure or impure condition. When one chants the 16 names of the maha-mantra 35 million times (sardha trikotir〔yadasya shodashikasya sardha trikotir japati. tada brahma hatyam tarati vira hatyam. svarna steyat puto bhavati. pitrideva manushyanam apakarat puto bhavati. ()〕), he absolves himself of the sins of killing a brahmana or a kshatriya, stealing of gold or engaging in harmful activities towards one’s forefathers or other living entities. ==See also== *Isha Upanishad *Brahma *Narada Muni 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kali-Saṇṭāraṇa Upaniṣad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
