Harihi Om

Hariḥ Om :)

A humble suggestion. Being habituated to using a mangala sūchaka  as a greeting is a lovely practice and strongly encouraged. However, our teachers have often clarified that 'Hari om' is not the right usage. 

The correct way to write and pronounce it is 'hariḥ om' (in IAST) or 'hariH om' (in ITRANS), or 'hari: om' / 'harihi om' (Roman alphabets) with a visarga at the end. 

Please find below an image for reference, and please let us all popularize the correct usage so it becomes the default use case :)
