Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
HARI KRISHNA - VASUDEVA KRISHNA - YASODA KRISHNA - VASISHTA KRISHNA (VEDAVYASA);
In the
above Shodasa NaAma Mantra there are 16 Divine names of the Supreme God HARI
(Hare) repeated 8 times; RAMA & KRISHNA 4 times each. How to contemplate
them while chanting?
IMHO one
must contemplate/remember the following Rupas of the Supreme God Vishnu while reciting HARI...
VISHNU - The Hari Sarvottama - Panchaniyamaka Bhagawadrupa -
Aniruddha-Pradyumna-Sankarshana-Vasudeva-Narayana - the plenary expansions of
Lord Vishnu;
NARAHARI - Lord NaraSimha (Hari means Lion)>Prahlada-Varada;
SRIHARI (LakshmiNarayana) - they always live together,
they are inseparable. Where Lakshmi is not present Sri Hari will not be there
and where Sri Hari is not there Lakshmi does not stay.
KARIRAJAVARADA (Gajendra
Moksha) where Lord Sri Hari comes to the rescue of Gajendra;
HARE SREENIVAASA (Lord
Venkateswara) who is saakshaatt - Lord Vishnu the Hari Sarvottama;
HAYAGREEVA - the Supreme God of Knowledge and destroyer of
ignorance; Hari also means Horse - Lord Sri Hari the one who has taken
incarnation as Hayagreeva;
SAVITHRU naAmaka SURYANARAYANA - Dhyeyassada
Savithrumandala madhyavarthi...... Hari also means Sun who is also known as
ARKA one of the Ashta Vasus whose Antaryaami is HARI;
KRISHNA - प्रथमं तु हरिं विंद्यात् - Sri
Krishna Dwadasanama Stothram (Mahabharatha-Aranya Parva) - Sri Krishna UvaAcha...
One should
also contemplate on NAHAM KARTA HARIH KARTA…
RAMA to be
contemplated as...
MOOLA RAMA - DASARATHA RAMA - SEETA RAMA - BHARGAVA RAMA
(ParashuRama);
KRISHNA to be contemplated as...
HARI KRISHNA - VASUDEVA KRISHNA - YASODA KRISHNA - VASISHTA KRISHNA (VEDAVYASA);
Some of
the other terminologies associated with HARI are >

HARI
is Taapatraya NIvaraka (TapatrayaHaaraka) - the one who removes/eliminates the
worry, anxiety, difficulty, trouble... of his devotees;
'HARI' refers to HARI SARVOTTAMA the ever green Supreme God
SriManNarayana the MokshaKaraka; the one who destroys (Hari) the cycle of birth
and death. Hari also means the one who steals and Lord Sri Hari is the one who
steals (destroys) our ignorance;
