The Glory and Power of Rama Nama

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

1. Paramacharyal (former Kanchi Kamakoti

Peetathipathi), Sri Chandrasekhara Swamigal, has said:

 

 

" There are two powerful 'araka Namas'. One is Aum and

another is Ram. All mantras have to be prefixed with

Aum for obtaining the benefits of those mantras,

whereas there is no need to prefix Aum when the name

'Ram' is recited because the name itself is 'Tarka

Namam' "

 

2. Once, during their stay at the jungle, Lakshmana

observed a Crow going to a river to drink water, but

returned without drinking the water. Like this it kept

on trying for innumerable times but never drank the

water. Lakshman could not understand why the crow was

doing like this and sought an explanation from Lord

Rama. Rama said " this crow is uttering the name of

Rama, non-stop. He is afraid he may have to stop

uttering the name if he starts drinking water. He is

willing to die without water rather than stop chanting

the name of Rama. "

 

Sins are completely washed away by the utterance of

all Namas BUT IT IS ONLY 'RAMA NAMA' THAT SHIELDS

AGAINST SINS IN THE FUTURE ALSO

 

Such is the greatness of RAMA NAMA.

 

3. Wonder work of Sri Ramachritamanas

 

It is said that Sri Tulsidasji started writing the

Ramayana in Sanskrit language during his stay at

Varanasi. But to his astonishment each day's work will

vanish after his return from the bath in Ganga. He

prayed to Lord Viswanath, the lord of Kasipuri who is

chanting the Ramanama all the time. Lord Viswanath had

directed him to write the epic Ramayan in the language

that could be understood by all, so that the Ramanama

mahima is spread to nook and corner of the land.

Accordingly he wrote the epic Ramayana in Avanthi

language, which is now popularly known as " SRI

RAMACHRITAMANAS " . There was lot of opposition from the

scholars of Kasipuri for this version of Ramayan. It

is said that the pundits of Kasi threw the script into

Ganga. But to their astonishment the script was found

intact in the Lord Viswanath's temple. Then it was

realised that the " Sri Ramachritamanas " , the Tulsi

Ramayan has the stamp of approval by the Lord Himself.
