FAQs
“Hari” is a primary name of Viṣṇu, praising Him as the eternally resplendent Lord.
Śrīvatsa is an auspicious emblem traditionally described on Viṣṇu’s chest, serving as a distinctive sign of His divine identity and fortune (Śrī).
It highlights contemplative devotion through divine form (rūpa-dhyāna): remembering Viṣṇu’s luminous, auspicious attributes as a means of reverence.
