Power of Hari

There is nothing greater than Hari Bhajan We all bow before Hari and say - Hari Om Tashyat. When the cup of venom was offered to Meera* How it had changed to ambrosia Maybe for she chanted all the time, Hari Hari Hari Hari. How the great lord Rama* visited poor Shabri* And why he ate the already tasted berry Maybe for she had great faith in Hari Hari Hari Hari Hari. When Lanka was in fire and everything around turned to ashes How the cottage of Vibhishana* remained untouched and unharmed May be the name of Hari was written on the entrance Hari Hari Hari Hari. When the wicked and vicious made a burning log of iron How was the little Prahalad* saved Maybe he called up Hari by his name Hari Hari Hari Hari. Hari Om is so powerful that Vishnu himself ran to help the elephant Maybe he closed his eyes with a lotus in his hand Hari Hari Hari Hari. If you are in trouble and see no way out , my dear If you are trapped by hangmen or have some fear Just close your eyes and think of Hari Hari Hari Hari Hari. *Meera (Mira Bai a Rajput princess, born in about 1498 ) was a Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna* whodescribes unconditional love for her Lord. *Shabari is an elderly woman ascetic in the later versions of the Hindu epic Ramayana.
