Please provide meaning of Hare Krishna

[Guest guest]

Dear Gentlepeople:

 

In Sanskrit, "Har" means "take" or "kill.Hare" means "to take

away" or "to kill."

 

So, "Hare Krishna" translated word for word in English would have a

rather unsusal meaning, i.e. "take away Krishna."

 

I'm sure I'm making a mistake here so can some learned person tell

me/group what is meant when I say "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna;

Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare."

 

I've been reapting this at my local ISKCON temple because everyone

else is, but don't know what it actually means.

 

Thanks.
