In my opinion, the best and most authoritative source for an answer is
the Bhagavad Gita, specifically, verses 24 through 27 of Chapter XVII.
It defines `Om tat sat'; the `Hari' is an extra prefix added to take
the name of the Lord.
If you really want to know what the words say, it will be necessary to
consult a commentary on the 'Gita by one of the great scholars of the
past. Otherwise, English translations of the 'Gita are quite widely
available, including on the Net, and can serve as a starting point for
understanding.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
