Meaning of the Bhajan

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare is the vocative of Hari (a way of addressing Hari / God)

Sathsangatve Nissangatvam Nissangatve Nirmohatvam
From Satsangha (association with the Truth/good and virtuous company), comes Nissangha (non-attachment); from non-attachment comes Nirmoha (freedom from delusion).

Nirmohatve Nischalatatvam Nischalatatve Jeevanmukti
Being free from delusion, leads to Nischalatatva (unwavering or steady mind/experience of the unwavering principle). From an unwavering mind/experience of the unwavering principle, comes Jivan Mukti (liberation).

Source of the last two lines of the Bhajan:
This is the 9th stanza of the Bhaja Govindam stotram, which is a bouquet of 31 stanzas. Of them, 13 stanzas are composed by Sri Adi Sankaracharya, while the rest are attributed to his disciples.
