Bhagavatam says that Sage Narada instructed Veda Vyasa to write the Purana. As a Guru, Narada gives different mantras to devotees like Prahlada, Dhruva etc. to chant. Why is Mahamantra not mentioned? However, in Kali Santarana Upanishad, the very same Narada questions Brahma about overcoming the effects of Kali and the latter gives the Mahamantra. It is a little confusing to me!

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Bhagavatam gives us a simple message that Nama Sankirtan is the way to liberation in Kali Yuga. That is the greatness of this Purana.

Then, the Kali Santarana Upanishad comes to our rescue, stating which specific Nama has to be chanted for liberation, in this Age (Kali Yuga).

Any Divine Name is precious. According to Kali Santarana Upanishad, the 'Hare Rama..' Mahamantra is capable of giving deliverance in this Kali Yuga.

 

This particular Maha Mantra is prescribed in the Shastras and has been chanted, followed, preached and lived for by great Mahans like Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

 

It is the essence of all Vedas and scriptures and grants lasting peace by giving deliverance from all sufferings.

 

Utter the Divine names of Lord Hari. In the age of Kali there is no other way of deliverance.
