Sri Haryashtakam by Prahladha - Lyrics & Meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










The sacred syllable ‘Hari’ recited even with the polluted mind would destroys heap of sins, same as the blazing fire burns the hand touched by mistake,  if the sacred syllable “Hari’ is in the tip of our tounge, it would be equivalent to have sacred dip in Ganga,  Gaya, Sethu, Kashi and Pushkaram, reciting the sacred syllable “Hari” is equivalent to the performance of righteous deeds in sacred places of Varanasi, Kurukshethra and Naimisharanya, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari’ is equivalent to have sacred dip in all the sacred theerthas/rivers in the Universe which brings abundance of meritorious rewards, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari’ is equivalent to the performance of millions and millions of Godanam and performance of marriage of girl child to a deserved bridegroom, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari’ is equivalent to the recital of Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Vedas which brings plenty of merits, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari” is equivalent to the performance of Ashwamedha and various Maha Yagnas, which would fulfil the desires of the worshiper, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari” would destroys the worldly bondage, illnesses, grief and sorrows, and makes the journey peaceful at time of departing the world, reciting the sacred syllable “ Hari” which is constantly recited by the virtuous people,  would destroys the worldly bondages and provides liberation from the repeated births.


Whoever recites or listens to the glorious verses of Sri Haryashtakam in the early hours of dawn, would be blessed with abundance of merits includes long life, good health, courage, prosperity, fame and wealth.
