This is part two of the adventures in Advaita Vedanta... will you travel with me a while?


Meditative Monday

Hari OM

हरि ॐ


Perhaps you could be prompted to meditate upon that greeting. Hari is, of course, considered a name of Sri Krishna. The word 'Hari', however, refers to the Absolute given form. All that we perceive is known as the manifest cosmos. This is Hari. That which can be appreciated in our own limited form.

Hari is that which can remove the veil of ignorance if we meditate upon it. To give it full focus we come to know that all this 'matter' does not matter, for it is all dissolved into the unmanifest cosmos, as represented by the a-u-m... OM. 

Hari is the breath with which we can practice pranayama. OM is that from which we can draw the breath.

Knowing this, our focus becomes OM... wherein we can dissolve our ego-centric selves...
