Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Om Namo Narayanaya! Dear Haribandhus! I wanted to ask that whether is there any difference between chanting of the Hare Krishna Mantra or Om Namo Narayanaya.Factually I have done a sankalpa of chanting the Narayana Astakshara Mantra.Please help me clarify my doubts!

Kulapavana Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 on one level the difference is in rasa: one addresses Lord Narayan, the other: Lord Krishna. you need to figure out which form of the Lord you are attracted to the most...

I_love_krishna_ Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 There are many vaikunta planets as there are many material planets in this material world. I think they say that Vishnu comes to you in the form you worship him. As far as I know, Narayana is one of those forms. That is all.

vanamali Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 You can call Him narayana, rama, krishna, padmanabha, venkateshwara, it's still the same guy. Whether you prefer to imagine him in his four-armed narayana form or in his Sri Krishna form, you can still call him Narayana. I don't think he would mind. Also, in Venkateshwara Suprabhatam, Sri Venkateshwara is called Govinda and Rama in different verses. I don't think it matters the name you use, he will know you are talking to Him.
