Om Haraye Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *hri* (to take away, to steal, to remove); "He Who Removes All Sin, All Suffering, and All Bondage" - perhaps the most universally beloved of all His names; *Hari* removes all that separates beings from their divine nature with the gentleness of a loving thief.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Hari* is one of the most common and beloved names of Vishnu — *Hara* meaning to take away, steal, or remove. Vishnu as Hari removes (*harati*) all sins, all sorrows, all ignorance, and all karmic burdens from those who turn to Him. He also "steals" the hearts of devotees — the most benevolent theft in existence. *Hari* also refers to green or golden color — associated with spring, new life, and divine radiance. **Spiritual Interpretation
The *Hari-Katha* (stories of Hari/Vishnu) is described in the Bhagavata Purana as the supreme *Shoka-Nashana* (destroyer of sorrow) — hearing Vishnu's stories, chanting His name, and remembering His divine qualities all work as the supreme *Hara* (remover) of existential suffering. The name *Hari* is also connected to the *Haridra* (turmeric) — the sacred golden spice — and to the divine green of new growth — suggesting Vishnu's life-giving, renewing quality. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana (1.1.2) begins with the prayer: *"We meditate on the supreme Narayana, the supreme Brahman — from whose divine sport (*Hari-Katha*) this creation has emerged..."* The entire Bhagavatam is a meditation on the various ways in which Vishnu as *Hari* removes the suffering of the world through His divine presence and activity.
