Ramakrishna Hari – The Sacred Chant of Pandharpur…!
Ramakrishna Hari – a sacred mantra echoing across Pandharpur for centuries. This is not just a chant – it’s the prāṇa of Bhakti, carried by saints like Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, and Tukaram Maharaj.
पंढरीचा गजर – रामकृष्णहरी! हे नाम म्हणजे वारीचं हृदय, भक्तीचं श्वास, आणि मोक्षाचं द्वार!” (Pandharpur resounds – Ramakrishna Hari! This chant is the heart of the Wari, the breath of Bhakti, and the gateway to liberation!)
In the words of Sant Tukaram: “रामकृष्णहरी नाम घेतां, तरी तरी तरी पावता!” Just take this name again and again – you will cross over the ocean of samsara.
Each name – Rama, Krishna, Hari – is a divine form of Vishnu. But why all three together? Because Vitthala is Purna Purusha – he reflects the maryada of Rama, the leela of Krishna, and the compassion of Hari.
For Warkaris, “Ramakrishna Hari” is not a chant for the afterlife – It is Vaikuntha brought into every breath. A mantra that transforms karma into liberation, pain into peace.
And when the streets of Pandharpur echo: “रामकृष्णहरी! रामकृष्णहरी!” – it’s not just a bhajan, it’s the pulse of Sanatana Bhakti passed down through centuries.
The Skanda Purana affirms: “नामैकं यद्विष्णोः श्रवणपतितं शुद्ध्यति जगत्।” Even the mere hearing of Vishnu’s name purifies the entire world.
Where Bhakti flows, Shakti awakens. Where Vitthala stands, Dharma is eternal. Ramakrishna Hari! Vitthala Vitthala Vitthala!
