illusions, burdens and ultimately they steal our hearts. Hara also comes from a
root word meaning Joy.

Hare is the vocative form of Hari, and refers to both Krishna and Ram as in the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. Both Ram and Krishna

name invoked the gods to send the divine Ganges to earth to relieve a
drought and purify the remains of his ancestors, he was warned that the
earth had not the capacity to withstand the descent of the Ganges from
heaven, in pursuit of which he propitiated Siva to receive the Ganges upon
her descent from heaven and release her with diminished force. Siva
agreed to trap the youthful and mischievous Ganges in his matted locks
and release her to the earth. It was thus, according to Hindu legend, that
the Ganges came to be trapped in Siva's locks, and to be portrayed as
flowing therefrom, in all representations of Siva

Narayana or Narayan is one of the names of Lord Vishnu, and also refers to Krishna as an incarnation of Vishnu. The name Narayana is a Sanskrit compound, with the members
nara, which means "human, man", and ayana "eternal, without ending (a-yana)". Tradition associates the nara element with another meaning of "water", explaining the name as
indicating the all-pervasive nature of Narayana as that of an infinite ocean in which the never-ending movement of birth, life and death of the cosmos occurs. Narayana according
to this etymology is the one who moves in the infinite waters and is also the water itself. This close association of Narayana with water explains the frequent depiction of Narayana
in Hindu Art as standing or sitting on an ocean. An another important translation of Narayana is "The supreme Man who is the foundation of all men”.
63. One more interpretation of the word Narayana: "Nara" meaning human and "Ayana" means direction/goal. Hence Narayana refers to the "direction of a human" (or the one that
helps a human to his/her goal) -- that towards moksha, (liberation).
