Rama - Nama

[Guest guest]

There are different aspects of råma-nåma. It bestows liberation,

and therefore has been called the tåraka-brahma, the sound

vibration that helps one cross over måyå. When referring to

Dåçarathi Råma, it means the attractor of the hearts of the jîvas

who is supremely merciful and possesses so much special affection

(bhakta-våtsalya) for His devotees. This råma-nåma bestows

prema and çånta-rasa, as well as dåsya, sakhya and våtsalya in

partial forms. There is no difference between this name and the

name of K®ß√a except for some special consideration of rasa. But

if Råma refers to Ramayati K®ß√a or Rådhå-rama√a, then it will

take one to the highest point.
