"Harry Krishna" is a common misspelling of Hare Krishna, based on the fact that the words Hare and Harry look and sound similar. (Harry Krishna is also a name that has been jokingly or half jokingly adopted by people interested in the Hare Krishna movement.)
Hare Krishna actually refers to a Hindu mantra (religious chant) derived from names or attributes of the Hindu god Vishnu. Its source is the ancient Hindu sacred text the Baghavad-Gita, but to most Westerners the words "hare Krishna" first became known when a number of famous people (especially the Beatles in the 1960s) became interested in this branch of Hindu philosophy through the growth of the International Society For Krishna Consciousness.
