Srila Prabhupada

Prabhupāda: Harihara, Harihara means Kṛṣṇa who takes away all, I mean to say, undesirable things. Kṛṣṇa takes away from the devotee all undesirable things. Thank you, go on. Hara, hara means who takes away, harati. Or in other words he takes away all miseries, Hare Kṛṣṇa, hari haraye namaḥ kṛṣṇa yādavāya namaḥ, (Nāma Saṅkīrtana 1)

Prabhupāda: If you become devotee of Kṛṣṇa, all your desires will be fulfilled. That is also fact.
akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā
mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhiḥ
tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena
yajeta paramaṁ puruṣa
(SB 2.3.10)
It is not that . . . sometimes we think like that, that "If we become devotee of God, then I'll become poor." Because Vaiṣṇavas are generally appear to be poor, so those who are after material happiness, they do not like to become Vaiṣṇavas. They become devotee of Lord Śiva, because by the grace of Lord Śiva they get all material facilities. Therefore generally people are very much fond of becoming devotee of Lord Śiva.
That . . . this question was discussed between Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja . . . not, Parīkṣit Mahārāja and Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Parīkṣit Mahārāja inquired this, that "Lord Viṣṇu is the master of goddess of fortune, but generally we find the Vaiṣṇavas are poor. And Lord Śiva, he hasn't got even a house, so still, his devotees are very prosperous." So the explanation was given that Lord Śiva is the master of these material opulences, Durgā-devī. Durgā-devī is his wife, the material nature. So devotees of Lord Viṣṇu . . . er, Lord Śiva can get all material facilities.
And Lord Viṣṇu . . . because he is going to be transferred to the spiritual world, therefore gradually his material affection is curtailed.
