Rama Mantra

“Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night”

Prayer is one important thing that helps us communicate with God. Everyone of us wants to pray! But there is some constraint that doesn’t allow us to pray.

Our Mother Shakthi also had the same question in mind. Which mantra or prayer can be recited which is equivalent to Mantras like Vishnu Saharsanama. Lord Shiva, Mahadev had answered her with the below mantra – The Rama Namah!

Sri Rama Rama Rameti Rame Raame Manorame;

Sahasra nama tattulyam Rama nama varanane!’

This Rama namah is taken from the Vishnu Saharsanama. He also educated Parvathi that reciting the Rama Namah one time is equivalent to reciting the whole Vishnu Saharsanama stotra one time. In short, Rama Namah = saying 1000 Vishnu names (Vishnu saharsanama).
