Sri Hari Bhagwan

Universally, Lord Vishnu is lovingly called Sri Hari. Here, Sri represents the Divine Mother Srimata, the one who offers refuge and nurtures creation, while Hari refers to Lord Vishnu, the one who takes away sorrows. Derived from the word Har, the name Hari signifies the Lord who removes pain and suffering from the hearts of His devotees. Together, Sri and Hari symbolize the perfect harmony of the Divine Feminine and Masculine, Shakti and Shiva, Prakriti and Purusha. Sri originates from Āshraya, meaning refuge, for only the Divine Mother with her infinite compassion can grant true shelter. She is Sri mata, Sri Mahā Rājñī, Sri matsinha-saneshvaree not a queen but an Empress in her own right. She is the very source of opulence and abundance. Lord Vishnu, known as Hari, is the compassionate preserver of the universe, the one who removes pain and restores balance. He embodies six divine attributes, the Shadgunas: Strength, Knowledge, Vigour, Splendour, Sovereignty, and Energy. Upon His chest shines the sacred mark of Śrīvatsa, symbolizing the eternal presence of Goddess Sri within Him. Together, they form Sri Hari, the perfect union of power and compassion, the Divine who protects, nurtures, and blesses every seeker.
