Sri Hari Ashtakam Meaning :

Lord’s name is so powerful that if we recite it even unwillingly, our sins gets destroyed. Such being the case, what about
those who lovingly chant this name? || 1 ||
If the two syllables Hari is in our tongue always, then it is equal to having bath at Ganga, performing Sraaddha at Gaya,
visiting sacred places like Kashi, Puskara etc.,
No pilgrimage is required if we remember Hari always. || 2 ||
The good deeds performed at Varanasi, Kurukshetra and Naimisharanya are equal to the chanting of two syllables Hari
everyday. Again here, it is said that the chanting of the word Hari will bestow all good results that would be obtained by
performing sacred karmas at various pilgrim centers. || 3 ||
y reciting the two syllables Hari one gets all the punya (good results || that is being got by visiting all the pilgrimage
centers in the entire world. || 4 ||
Kanyadaana (performing daughter’s marriage || and Godaana (offering the cow || are considered very sacred. If we
chant the name of Hari, it is equal to donating thousands of cows and performing thousands of marriages. || 5 ||
The chanting of Harinama is equal to systematic recital of Rik Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. Veda
paaraayana bestows utmost benefits. Such benefits are obtained by mere recital of Harinama. || 6 ||
Harinama is equal to performing Ashwamedha Yajna and other similar sacrifices. One can get the benefits they desire by
chanting such Harinama. || 7 ||
The chanting of Harinama is like carrying the food towards the last journey, which also destroys the pain of samsaara. It
is saviour from many dire troubles of life. The chanting of Harinama at the time of last journey of a man will relieve him
of all pains of samsaara. || 8 ||
Even if the Harinama is chanted only once, it will lead to salvation by removing bondage. No other means to salvation is
required if one recites Harinama. || 9 ||
The recital of this Hariasthakam every day morning will confer long life, strength, health, wealth and glory.
This is the phalasruti. || 10 ||
One who recites this stotra told by Sri prahlada, attains the abode the Lord Vishnu namely Paramapada, besides all
benefits in this world. || 11 ||

Salutations to the teacher of the world, Krishna,
Who is the God who is the son of Vasudeva,
Who killed Kamsa and Chanoora,
And who gave immense joy to Devaki.

Who decorates himself with flowers of Athasee.
Who shines in garlands and anklets that he wears.
And who has a bangle made of jewels in his right hand.

Who is blessed with black curly hair,
Who is very similar to the full moon,
And who shines in his ear drops.
Salutations to the teacher of the world, Krishna.

Who has the sweet scent of mandara flowers,
Who has pretty smile and four arms,
And who decorates is hair with peacock feathers.

Who has eyes resembling the fully open lotus flowers,
Who has the blue colour of rich clouds,
And who is the chief gem of the clan of Yadavas.

Who is engaged in playing with Rukmani,
Who shines in yellow silks,
And who is attracted by scent of ocimum.
Salutations to the teacher of the world, Krishna.

Who is embraced by the two busts of Gopis,
Whose chest has the marks of saffron,
Who lives with Lakshmi and has a big bow.
Who has the mole Sri Vathsa on his chest and greatly enjoys,
Who is decorated by garlands of forest flowers,
And who holds the conch and the holy wheel.
If one reads this as soon as he awakes in the morning,

This divine octet of Lord Krishna without fail,
Sins committed in billions of lives,
Would be destroyed, if one thinks about him.
