According to him, the feeling of Har-Har Mahadev is, Oh Mahadev, come and take away all the attachments, ego, desires, illusions that are within us. He said that if Mahadev really removes all the desires and attachments present within a person, then perhaps many people would not be able to bear it.

When a devotee utters Har Har Mahadev, it is believed that he is praying to Lord Shiva to eliminate the negative elements within him.

This is the reason why chanting Har Har Mahadev is not only a religious slogan but is also considered a symbol of self-realization and unity.
