Hari Om () is a Hindu mantra. Hari Om may be chanted at the beginning of auspicious activities, before prayer or Vedic chanting, or during meditation. It is also employed as a greeting.
Description Hari in Sanskrit has multiple meanings; the name is commonly employed, especially in the Vaishnav tradition, as an epithet of the Hindu deity Vishnu. As such, Vishnu is a common addressee of the mantra Hari Om.
According to the Agni Purana, remembering the name of Hari causes the expiation of a person who has committed a sin. The repetition of Om is stated to offer the same result.
The mantra is also sometimes regarded as allowing the chanter to achieve moksha.
