Rama, Rama, Rama.
Sweeter than sugar, milk, cream, honey, curd — or even all of them together.
A name that is also a thousand.
The name Sri Rama is a symbol of upliftment, of knowledge, and of prosperity. Of all the beings of this universe, only the human tongue is allowed to chant the Sri Rama Mahāmantra.
Daily recitation purifies a life and widens it to the universal. Chanted together as a family, the name increases harmony and well-being. It needs no time, no place, no preparation.
In Sanskrit gematria — the syllable ರಾ has the value 2, and ಮ has the value 5.
Chanting Rāma three times therefore equals 2 × 5 × 2 × 5 × 2 × 5 = 1,000.
Three utterances of His name carry the merit of an entire Vishnu Sahasranama.
A column of accumulated devotion.
Alongside the temple's renovation, devotees are given small books to record their chanting of the Sri Rama mantra. When a book is complete, the devotee performs a home puja, circumambulates the temple 21 to 108 times, and places the book inside the Rama Stupa — a column of accumulated devotion that rises from the village ground.
- 1Write the name of Sri Rama with intention — for as long as the book lasts.
- 2When complete, do a puja at home before the family deity.
- 3Visit the temple and circumambulate 21 to 108 times in pradakshina.
- 4Place the book inside the Rama Stupa with the trust.
Contact the temple office at info@rampura.in to receive a book.
May Sri Rama, together with Sita Devi, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, and Anjaneya, grant to you and to all your kith and kin the fulfilment of each one's heartfelt desires.
