Only "Hare Krishna" not "Bolo Hare Krishna”

Vishesha Devi Dasi: We just came for the morning program and it was that… it says in Hari Sauri’s book that there was one French devotee who was a sannyasi, now dead. He had spent time in Radha-kunda and he was singing, 'Bolo Hare Krishna.' He was adding something to the maha-mantra. Prabhupada was just above the temple room, so Prabhupada could hear, because it was roaring kirtana. Anyway, Prabhupada was upstairs, everyone was chanting very loudly but he was not coming down. Prabhupada sent a secretary to tell the devotee to stop chanting like that.

He said, "We chant Hare Krishna, bas. Hare Krishna alone. You don’t add 'Bolo Hare Krishna' or something."
