Krishna is a name for the masculine divine in the Vedic understanding. Hara, Haré and Radha are names for the feminine divine. The Vedic texts strongly influenced the later traditions referred to as Hinduism, Buddhism and Yoga. The main sections of the Veda were written down from 3000BC. 'Haré Krishna' - these are the first two words of an ancient Vedic mantra. From 1967 in the USA, newspapers and TV began to refer to a group of people chanting this mantra in public spaces as 'Hare Krishna people'.
