Hari Stotram
जगज्जालपालं कचत्कण्ठमालं शरच्चन्द्रभालं महादैत्यकालम् । नभो नीलकायं दुरावारमायं सुपद्मासहायं भजेऽहं भजेऽहम् ॥Also known as Jagajjalapalam
In Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English — with the meaning of every word, and the one syllable most people pronounce wrongly.
What the Hari Stotram is
The Hari Stotram, known by its opening word as Jagajjalapalam, is a Sanskrit hymn of eight verses to Vishnu under his name Hari, followed by a ninth verse that states its reward. Its colophon names Paramahamsa Swami Brahmananda, a monk who lived at Pushkar in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan; some recitations credit it to Adi Shankaracharya instead, but the earliest known printing carries Brahmananda's name. The verses are in bhujangaprayata, a metre of twelve syllables to the line built from four short-long-long units, the metre Shankara used for the Subramanya Bhujangam. Every verse strings together six epithets that rhyme within each half-line (palam, malam, bhalam, kalam) and ends on the refrain bhaje'ham bhaje'ham, 'I worship, I worship'. The sequence opens with Hari's appearance, the shining neck-garland, the autumn-moon forehead and the sky-blue body, passes to his deeds in the waters and his lifting of the earth's burden, and settles in terms of inner inquiry: consciousness and bliss, and the space within the heart.
The closing lamp of a Pushkar monk's book
The hymn's earliest datable home is not a Purana but a handbook of Vedanta. Swami Brahmananda, who signed himself Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya and resident of Pushkar, composed Vichara Dipaka, 'the lamp of inquiry', a treatise in Sanskrit verse on knowledge of the Self with his own Hindi commentary, Bhavartha Bhasini. He was already in print by 1888, when his Yoga Kalpadruma appeared, and his other works include Ishvara Darshana, Dharmanushasana and a song collection, Bhajana Mala. In the last verse of Vichara Dipaka he offers the whole book as a lamp set in a shrine of Vishnu, that shrine being the purified mind of the seeker, and he says he does so 'for the pleasing of Hari'. Directly after that dedication, on pages 247 to 249 of the fifth edition of 1922, the Hari Stotram is printed under the heading bhujangaprayata chandah, with a colophon naming Brahmananda, and it is followed by a second short hymn, the Hari Namashtakam. Read in that setting, the stotram is the devotional close of a book on non-dual inquiry, which is why its praise of Hari's form moves into phrases such as samadhana-linam, 'absorbed in meditation', and gunaughair-atitam, 'beyond the flood of the gunas'. No account of a vision or occasion of composition has come down, and the year of the author's death is not recorded.

I worship, I worship Hari, protector of the whole web of the world, whose garland shines at his neck, whose forehead is like the autumn moon, and who is death to the great demons. His body is blue as the sky, his maya is hard to overcome, and he is the companion of Lakshmi.

I worship him who ever dwells in the ocean, whose smile is like flowers opening, who dwells within the world and shines with the light of a hundred suns. He bears the mace and discus as weapons, wears a gleaming yellow garment, and has a lovely smiling face.

I worship him who is the necklace on Lakshmi's neck, the essence of all the Vedas, who moves within the waters and takes away the burden of the earth. His nature is consciousness and bliss, his form captivates the mind, and he has taken many forms.

I worship him who is free from old age and birth, full of the highest bliss, absorbed in deep meditation and ever new. He is the cause of the world's coming into being, the banner of the army of the gods, and the firm bridge of the universe.

I worship him whose praise the Vedas sing, who rides Garuda, king of birds, who is the source of liberation and who takes away the pride of his enemies. He is kind to his devotees, the root of the tree of the world, and he removes the pain of the suffering.

I worship the lord of all the gods, whose hair is dark as bees, of whom the world is only a small reflection, and whose dwelling is the space within the heart. His body is ever divine, he is free of every desire, and his home is the beautiful Vaikuntha.

I worship him who is the strongest among the hosts of gods, the foremost in the three worlds, the greatest of teachers, and established in his own true nature. He is ever steady in battle, the hero of great heroes, and the far shore of the ocean of worldly life.

I worship him with Lakshmi at his left side and the serpent resting beneath him, who holds all sacrifice in his power and is beyond attachment and aversion. He is praised in song by the great sages, surrounded by the gods, and beyond the flood of the qualities of nature.

The verse says that whoever settles the mind and recites daily these eight verses, a necklace for Murari (Vishnu), surely reaches the sorrowless world of Vishnu and does not again meet the sorrow of old age and birth.

iti śrīmatparamahaṃsasvāmibrahmānandaviracitaṃ śrīharistotraṃ sampūrṇam ||
Thus ends the Hari Stotram composed by Paramahamsa Swami Brahmananda.
The syllable people get wrong
Bhaje'haṃ (भजेऽहं), the refrain that closes every verse, is bhaje joined to ahaṃ: the avagraha (') marks the a that has dropped out, so it is said in three syllables, bha-jay-hum, with a long e, not as four syllables 'bhaje aham'.
When the Hari Stotram is chanted
Weekday. Thursday
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
