Raama Navamii

[Guest guest]

namaskaar,

 

|| shrii raamaaya namaH ||

 

May Lord Shrii Raama's blessings always be with us!!

 

I want to thank Sri Sadagopan for responding to my request for the

meanings of the 108 names for Lord Raama and am looking forward to his

postings.

 

On the occassion of Raama Navamii I am making my first attempt at

translating a shloka regarding Raama Naama from shrii raama rakShaa

stotraM and shrii vishhNu sahsranaama, which may be quite familiar to

everyone on this list.

 

sanskR^it

 

raama raameti raameti rame raame manorame |

sahsranaama tattulyaM raama naama varaanane ||

 

hi.ndii

 

(shrii mahaadevajii paarvatiijii se kahate hain - ) he sumukhi !

raamanaama vishhNusahasranaam ke tulya hai | mai.n sarvadaa 'raama,

raama, raama' isa prakaar manoram raama-naama me.n hii ramaNa karataa

huu.n |

 

english

 

(Lord Shankar tells Parvatii ) O fair-faced one! Uttering 'Raama' once

is equal to saying 'vishhNusahasranaam' (or any other 'name' of God a

thousand times). (That is the reason that) I am always saying 'Raama,

Raama, Raama' and meditating on the mind-pleasing(?) name 'Raama'.

 

Mistakes in encoding and translation are all mine, please feel free to

let me know the corrections.

 

Shree
