Hare means addressing the energy of Kṛṣṇa. The energy is called Harā.

Lecture on BG 4.11 -- Geneva, June 1, 1974:

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is teaching everyone to become the first-class yogi. This movement is giving everyone the chance of chanting this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, which means always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. As soon as you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and if you hear—the chanting process is you chant and hear—then immediately you become in the samādhi state, absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. This is not our manufactured way. It is all authorized by the Vedic scripture. Therefore our request is that if you want to become first-class yogi according to the authorized statement of Vedas, then you take to this mahā-mantra, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare. The chanting, the purpose of chanting is that it is addressing, Hare. Hare means addressing the energy of Kṛṣṇa. The energy is called Harā. Kṛṣṇa is called Hari, and His energy is called Harā, or Rādhā. Kṛṣṇa, Rādhā, or Hari, Harā. So the form of addressing is Hare. Those who know Sanskrit, there is... The example is just like latā. Latā word, the note of address is late. Similarly Harā is the word, and the note of address is Hare. So the request is "O the energy of Kṛṣṇa, O Lord Kṛṣṇa, please accept me in Your service." Without going through the energy of Kṛṣṇa, nobody can approach Kṛṣṇa.

Hare means we are praying to the energy, the internal energy, the spiritual energy, Rādhārāṇī. Hare.

Six Gosvamis Lecture, Sri Sri Sad-govamy-astaka -- Los Angeles, Nov...:

So Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's energy, there are two things. So we are praying, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare means we are praying to the energy, the internal energy, the spiritual energy, Rādhārāṇī. Hare. We are praying "Hare, O the energy of Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa." Kṛṣṇa is always with energy. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śruyate (Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport). Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Lord, has many multifarious energies. Whatever we are seeing, it is all manifestation of His energy. So we are praying both to the energy. We are praying to the material energy also—material energy also, perverted reflection of the spiritual energy. Actually, there is no material energy. Everything is spiritual. But when the spiritual energy is covered by ignorance... Just like when the sky is covered by cloud it becomes dark. Similarly, spiritual energy, when it is covered by material energy... The cloud has no separate existence. It is also creation of the sunshine. Similarly, the material energy has also no separate existence. It is also creation of Kṛṣṇa, but it appears and disappears. The spiritual energy remains. So when we dovetail ourself with the spiritual energy, then we become perfect. That is our perfection. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness is dovetailing ourself with the spiritual energy and thus become perfect. And this human form of life is meant for that purpose.

So this form Hare, means Hara, is the potency of Hari.

Room Conversation -- January 8, 1977, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Yes. Addressing means with some purpose when I address Mr. such and such. Then if you say, "Yes, what do you want to say?"

Guest (2): It has no relation with the...

Prabhupāda: Relation is there. Relation is there. Otherwise, how can I address him? Relation is there. So this form Hare, means Hara, is the potency of Hari. (break) Just like you are a gṛhastha. You have got your wife, you have got your maidservant. The maidservant is doing something, wife is doing something, but you have many potencies. The managing director is there, but he has got many assistants. Similarly, the Supreme Person has got multi-assistants, potencies. So they are all accepted as Hara, Hari's potencies. So we have to approach Hari through the potency: "O Hare. O the potency of the Lord. O Lord, be merciful." We cannot jump over the Lord without going through the potency. So those who are impersonalists, they cannot understand. But those who are intelligent, they can understand that God is person, He has got multi-potencies, and through the potencies He's working so nicely. This is Vedic injunction.

THIS IS AS PER SRILA PRABHUPADA. THERE ARE MORE EXPLANATIONS IN GAUDIYA VAISHNAVISM. IN OTHER VAISHNAVA PARAMPARA HARE ALSO MEANS HARI(LORD WHO STEALS AWAY DISTRESS OF DEVOTEES.).

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

PAMHO.

Hare is the internal potency of the lord. Hare is the energy of the lord.

The Meaning of the Name "Hare"
Harä is Kåiñhëa's internal potency, Çrématé Rädhäräëé or Lakñmé:
When we are chanting the mahä-mantra, we are actually addressing God and His energy, Harä. Harä is Kåiñhëa's internal potency, Çrématé Rädhäräëé. Thus the Vaiñëavas worship Rädhä-Kåñëa, Lakñmé-Näräyaëa and Sétä-Räma. In the beginning of the Hare Kåiñhëa mahä-mantra we first address the internal energy of Kåiñhëa, Hare. Thus we say, "O Rädhäräëé! O Hare! O energy of the Lord!"

Dear Mataji,

In this context, 'Hare' does not mean a person : ) lol

It means, the one who takes away ('Jo apna dukh harta hai') our miseries.

Your servant,

Veeral Gandhi
