But this Mantra has two names, Hare
Rama and Hare Krishna. As these two names are different, will it not be Vyabicharini
Bhakti if the names of two gods are uttered by a devotee? And what is the form to be
thought of in meditation while repeating the above Mantra?
It cannot tantamount to Vyabicharini Bhakti. Real Vyabicharini Bhakti is worshipping
God for a few minutes and again loving children, wife, property, etc., for the rest of the day. The
Supreme Deity behind the two names Rama and Krishna is one. He is Lord Vishnu. For
meditation, you can have either the form of Lord Krishna or Lord Rama according to the
tendency, predilection or taste of your mind.
