Hare Krishna mantra question
This is a simple question, but I think pronunciation is important when it comes to mantras.
I am unsure about how the “Hare” is pronounced in Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare”.
When I hear it chanted by most sources, it sounds like “Hari” but I would think that if it’s written as “Hare” that the ‘e’ would be pronounced as in ‘elephant’. So why does it sound like “Hari”, and if I’m not being fooled, why is it written as Hare instead of Hari, since that’s how I keep hearing it chanted?

Hare Krishna!
