Of course, advaita says all are the same One. But
the very origin of this stotra is not to
stay at the level of advaita. Everything may be the same One ultimately, but on
the surface, they are seen to be different. So Hara is one, Shiva is another.
The Shiva who is said to be ‘moved’ is the ShivaM enunciated as the first principle in the scriptures of the shAkta and Shaiva
schools. Hara is the ‘Rudra’ who is in charge of the function of dissolution
among the five functions of the Almighty. ‘Hara’ comes from the root verb ‘har’
to destroy, to eradicate, to nullify.
