Explanation | |
| RAM_KRIPAA AVTARAN | The Descent of God's Grace |
Descent of Ram's Grace; Blessings of Sri Ram on the devotee; Showering of Sri Ram’s Compassion and Benevolence. ‘Kripaa’: Compassion, Benevolence. | |
Param-Kripaa Suroop Hai, Param-Prabhu Sri Ram, Jan Paavan Parmaatmaa, Param-Purush-Sukhdhaam. ..1. | Most beauteous form of Formless One Is Face of Grace of God Shri-Ram, Shri-Ram the Great, Purifier of Men, First One, High Home of Peace and Calm. |
The Supreme Master- Sri Ram, is an incarnation of boundless compassion and grace. As the Supreme Soul that sanctifies one and all, Sri Ram is the ultimate abode of (peace and) happiness. ‘Param’: Supreme. ..1 | |
Sukhdaa Hai Shubhaa-Kripaa, Shakti Shaanti Swaroop, Hai Gyaan Aanandmayi, Ram-Kripaa Anoop. ..2. | The Blessed Grace is giver of health, The sources of Strength, alcove of calm, Vehicle of wisdom, bestower of bliss, Unique descent is Grace of Ram. |
Sri Ram is the incarnation of Supreme Grace. He is inherently and essentially a provider of real peace, happiness and well - being. An inexhaustible(endless) fountainhead of unparalleled grace, love and benevolence, knowing Him grants us strength, wisdom, bliss and peace. ‘Roop-Swaroop’: While the form(roop) of ornaments may be a necklace, bangle or earrings, their element(swaroop) is gold. Similarly, the visible form of sugar is granules, cubes or powder, yet its essence is sweetness, that is, sugar is inherently sweet in every form. ..2 | |
Param-Punya Prateek Hai, Param-Eesh Kaa Naam, Taarak-Mantra Shakti-Ghar, Bijaakshar Hai Ram. ..3. | The Name of Lord of Love Shri-Ram Is highest and the holiest Word, The saving mantra, sanctum of shakti, Shri Ram's the most sacred Seed-Word. |
God's name symbolizes supreme sanctity and divinity. 'Ram-Naam’, the storehouse of Omnipotence, guarantees deliverance from the mortal bondage leading to salvation. ‘Mantra’: The sacred word (or group of words) endowed with exceptional powers through a process of constant meditation. ‘Mantra’ ought to ennoble, enlighten and liberate the human soul from the mortal bondage(physical prison-human life). 'Bijaakshar': The core constituent of 'RAM' is formed by the unison of 'R' of 'Agni', 'A' of 'Surya', 'M' of 'Chandra' - the three essential cosmic elements (fire, sun, moon). ..3 | |
Saadhak-Saadhan Saadhiye, Samajh Sakal Shubh-Saar. Vaachak-Vaachya Ek Hai, Nishchit Dhaar Vichaar. ..4. | Knowing this secret of secrets of all, With faith, devotees repeat the Name, That That and This, in-fact, are one, Are one, indeed, the Named and the Name. |
| O Saadhak ! Undertake spiritual practices in the full knowledge of the fact that Ram-Mantra is the nucleus of all that is Good. Let there be no doubt that the devotee who remembers (‘saadhak’) and the object of remembrance(‘saadhya’), one who contemplates and the object of contemplation, the speaker and the subject matter of speech are indeed one and the same. ..4 | |
Mantramaya Hee Maaniye, Isht Dev Bhagwaan, Devaalaya Hai Ram Kaa, Ram Shabd Gun Khaan. ..5. | Believe! The Lord of Love Shri-Ram Is all replete with name Ram-Ram, And Sacred Temple too of Ram Is full of virtues, this Word, Shri-Ram. |
| Know it without any doubt that your chosen deity- Sri Ram is inherent in Ram-Mantra and abides therein as the origin, source and unfathomable (that cannot be measured) reservoir of all the virtues. ..5 | |
| Ram-Naam Aaraadhiye, Bheetar Bhar Ye Bhaav, Dev-Dayaa Avtaran Kaa, Dhaar Chaugunaa Chaav. ..6. | With deep devotion and faith within, Mediate upon the Name Ram-Ram, And with a child-like trust await Descent of Grace of God Shri-Ram. |
| Engrossed in these lofty thoughts and with a heart passionately longing to be blessed with divine grace, focus your fond attention on the profundity and glory of Ram Naam. ..6 | |
| Mantra Dhaarnaa Yon Kar, Vidhi Se Le Kar Naam, Japiye Nishchaya Achal Se, Shakti-Dhaam Sri Ram. ..7. | From right Teacher learn right technique Of right repetition of right Name, And then mediate with greatest faith Upon Shri-Ram's most vital name. |
After proper initiation (Naam-Deeksha), undertake constant recitation of Ram-Mantra with unwavering concentration and full faith in the fact that all the powers dwell in and emanate (originate ) from Sri Ram - the Source of Energy. ‘Mantra-Dhaarnaa’: Focussing attention on ‘Mantra’ only. ‘Jap’: Recital of Ram-Naam keeping in mind its true meaning. .7 | |
| Yathaa Vriksha Bhee Beej Se, Jal-Raj Ritu-Sanyog, Paa Kar, Vikse Kram Se, Tyon Mantra Se Yog. ..8. | From seed in earth as grows a tree, Slowly by help of elements three, Sun, air, water- in similar way, Name's seed grown up into Yoga's Tree. |
Just as the seed getting conducive environment of earth, water and suitable weather gradually gets transformed into a tree, likewise contemplation of Ram Mantra with faith and devotion leads to higher spiritual attainments. ‘Mantra-Yog’: A spiritual practice whereby recitation of ‘Mantra’ leads to God - realization. In short, faith, ‘dhyaan’ and 'Samaadhi’ in unison with ' Mantra ' result in ‘Mantra-Yoga’. It follows 'Naam-Jaap' performed with complete devotion and faith. ..8 | |
Yathaa Shakti Parmaanu Men, Vidyut-Kosh Samaan, Hai Mantra Tyon Shaktimaya, Aisaa Rakhiye Dhyaan. ..9. | Within an atom as is hidden Of latent power, a great treasure, A secret Shakti is thus locked up Within the mantra, of this be sure. |
| Our faith in the effectiveness of the ‘Mantra’ should be akin to the firm belief in the atom being the repository of limitless energy or the powerhouse being the inexhaustible storehouse of power. [A sure remedy for the unwholesome human passions, 'Ram Mantra' absolves our sins and elevates and edifies by inspiring noble thoughts.] ..9 | |
| Dhruv Dhaaranaa Dhaar Yeh, Raadhiye Mantra Nidhaan, Hari-Kripaa Avtaran Kaa, PoornRakhiye Gyaan. ..10. | Meditate, therefore, on Name, with faith As firm as polar star in sky, And watch descent O' Shri-Ram's Grace, With mind so calm, with hope so high. |
Contemplate Ram-Naam with absolute faith and know that by doing so Sri Ram’s grace and blessings will definitely descend on you(the devotee). ‘Dhruv Dhaarnaa’: Mental constancy (Steadfastness) achieved through meditation. ‘Mantra Nidhaan‘: The treasure house of holy and Godly names - the core of all Mantras (Ram). ..10 | |
Aataa Khirdhki Dwaar Se, Pawan Tej Kaa Poor, Hai Kripaa Tyon Aa Rahi, Karti Durgun Door. ..11. | As blows with force a fragrant breeze Into a room through windows, doors, The Grace is thus ever blowing, Taking away all ills and sores. |
| With the opening of the windows, fresh air and light come in and drive away staleness. Likewise, Sri Ram's grace annihilates (finishes) all vices (and blesses us with virtues ) . ..11 | |
| Batan Dabaane Se Yathaa, Aati Bijli-Dhaar, Naam Jaap Prabhaav Se, Tyon Kripaa-Avtaar. ..12. | Soon as is pressed electric button, A current at once begins to flow, So too, by jap*, of name Ram-Ram, The Grace of Ram descends below. *Jap is repetition of Ram-Ram |
| Electric current begins to flow instantaneously following a push on the switch. Likewise, repetition of God's name with devotion blesses us with His Grace. ..12 | |
Kholte Hee Jal Nal Jyon, Bahtaa Vaari Bahaav, Jap Se Kripaa Avtarit Ho, Tathaa Sajag Kar Bhaav. ..13. | Comes rushing down water with speed As soon is turned a tap, above, The Grace likewise descends by Jap**, And fills the mind with faith and love. ** Jap is Repetition of Ram-Ram |
| God's Grace descends automatically instilling life in our faith as a result of constant Jaap (recitation of Ram-Naam), just as water gushes forth as soon as the tap is turned on. ..13 | |
Ram Shabd Ko Dhyaaiye, Mantra Taarak Maan, Swashakti Sattaa Jag Kare, Upri Chakra Ko Yaan. ..14. | Repeat, reflect on Name, Ram-Ram, Tis sacred word protects from sin, Awakens vital force lying asleep, Takes it to the higher chakras within. |
| With rapt attention meditate upon 'Ram-Naam' believing it to be means of upliftment, ennoblement and salvation. This awakens and leads the Inner Being vertically upward. ‘Chakra’: Yoga mentions eight 'Chakras' in the human body : Moolaadhaar, Svaadhisthaan, Manipoor (Naabhi Chakra), Anaahat (Heart), Vishudh (Kanth), Aagyaa (Trikuti), Bindu (Greeva's top) and Sahasraar ( head). ‘Upri-Chakra’: Aagyaa, Bindu and Sahasraar. ..14 | |
| Dasham Dwaar Se Ho Tabhi, Ram-Kripaa Avtaar, Gyaan Shakti Aanand Sah, Saam Shakti Sanchaar. ..15. | Just then does from the Tenth Door, The Grace of God Shri-Ram descend, Does bring with it Wisdom and Joy, And life and song that has no End. |
| Thereon enters through the tenth gate Sri Ram's Grace that paves the way for divine knowledge, strength, inner bliss and steadiness. ‘Dasham-Dwaar’ : Human body is an entity with nine gates/passages : Two eyes, two ears, two nasal passages, one mouth, two outlets for human excreta. Tenth doorway is invisible and is located higher than the nine doors. ..15 | |
Dev Dayaa Swashakti Kaa, Sahasra Kamal Men Milaap, Ho Satpurush Sanyog Se, Sarva Nasht Hon Paap. ..16. | 'Tis there, in thousand-leaved-Lotus, Life-Force ascend sand meets the Grace, And all the sins are burnt away In presence of His Blessed Face. |
| With the blessings of a realized saint-soul(Satguru) and God’s Grace, the devotee's 'Kundalini' merges into the lotus with thousand petals - the Supreme Consciousness - Sahasraar and instantly 'destroys' all evils and sins. In fact, sublimation and salvation of the human soul presupposes God's Grace, devotee’s sincere efforts and will - power, and more importantly, Guru's blessings and patronage. The human soul becomes one with the Supreme Soul. Then the devotee transcends the mind and attains complete enlightenment. ..16 | |
Namaskar Saptak | (SALUTATION IN SEVEN COUPLETS) |
Kartaa Hoon Main Vandanaa, Nat Shir Baarambaar, Tujhe Dev Parmaatman, Mangal Shiv Shubhkaar. ..1. | Again and Again I bend low, Salute to thee, my Lord, Thou art giver of good, Happiness and all concord. |
In all humility and deference, I prostrate myself again and yet again before Thee, the Provider of benediction, happiness, peace, serenity and auspiciousness. ‘Vandanaa’: Salutation; ‘Mangal’: Benediction; ‘Shiv’: Happiness, Peace ‘Shubh’: Auspicious ..1 | |
| Anjali Par Mastak Kiye, Vinaya Bhakti Ke Saath, Namaskaar Meraa Tujhe, Hove Jag Ke Naath. ..2. | With deep devotion, humility, Fore-head on folded hands, I salute to Thee, O Lord Of all the worlds and lands. |
| With folded hands, the head bowed in reverence and the heart overwhelmed with humility and deference, O Lord of the Universe, I salute Thee! ..2 | |
Dono Kar Ko Jordh Kar, Mastak Ghutne Tek, Tujh Ko Ho Pranaam Mam, Shat-Shat Koti Anek. ..3. | I let my knees to ground, I clasp my hands, bend, bow, Accept my salutations, Lord, Many million times I bow. |
| With folded hands, kneeling and bowing my head, I pray and pay Thou my most devout obeisance. ..3 | |
Paap-Haran Mangal-Karan, Charan-Sharan Kaa Dhyaan, Dhaar Karoon Pranaam Main, Tujh Ko Shakti Nidhaan. ..4. | Saviour from sin, giver of peace, My mind upon Thy Feet, I bow to Thee, Thou art Of strength the source and seat. |
| Knowing You to be the Redeemer-Benefactor, I bow before Thee, O Omnipotent Lord! ..4 | |
| Bhakti-Bhaav Shubh-Bhaavnaa, Man Men Bhar Bharpoor, Shraddhaa Se Tujh Ko Namoon, Mere Ram Hazoor. ..5. | With deep devotion, aspirations, With heart over-flowing, with love, With reverence I bow to Thee Shri-Ram - my Lord of Love. |
| With a spiritual dedication and a heart full of devotion, reverence and lofty thoughts and complete faith, I bow and remember Thee, my venerable Lord Ram! ..5 | |
| Jyotirmaya Jagdeesh He, Tejomaya Apaar, Param Purush Paawan Param, Tujh Ko Ho Namaskaar. ..6. | The Light of World, Lord o' Lords, King O' Glory, Infinite Divinity, Supreme Being, Holy Spirit, I pay homage to Thee. |
| Light of all lights and Fountainhead of all energies, O Supreme Being, that purifies and sanctifies all, I lie before you in deference. ..6 | |
| Satya Gyaan Aanand Ke, Param Dhaam Sri Ram, Pulkit Ho Meraa Tujhe, Hove Bahu Pranaam. ..7. | Thou art the Highest Abode, Of truth, Knowledge, Joy, Light! Salutations to Thee, again, again, With heart full of delight. |
Overwhelmed with ecstasy, I bow again and again before Thee, Sri Ram - the sacred Embodiment of Existence - Consciousness - Absolute Bliss ('Satchidaananda'). Here Sri Ram has been hailed as the Supreme Soul who is the Source, Abode as well as the Indweller of all beings, the Imperishable and Infinite 'Brahm - Swaroop'. ..7 | |
PRAATAHA PAATH (Morning Prayer) Parmaatmaa Sri Ram, Param-Satya Prakaash-Roop, Param Gyaanaanandswaroop, Sarvashaktimaan, Ekaivaadviteeya Parmeshwar, Param-Purush, Dayaalu Devaadhidev Hai, Us Ko Baar-Baar, Namaskaar, Namaskaar, Namaskaar, Namaskaar. Amrit Vani (Dawn Recitations) Shri Ram is supreme self, highest truth, light of lights, Deepest wisdom, greatest joy, omnipotent, one without second, Lord of all, first one, most merciful, God of Gods - Salutations unto Him, again and again, again and again. The Supreme Soul, Sri Ram, is the matchless, radiant and non-dual apotheosis (divine elevation ) of Absolute Truth, Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence, Immutability (Changelessness) and Eternal Bliss.

*** AMRIT VAANI *** | |
| Ramaamrit Pad Paawan Vaani, Ram-Naam Dhun Sudhaa Samaani. Paawan-Paath Ram-Gun-Graam, Ram-Ram Jap Ram Hee Ram. . ..1. | The Word--Shri Ram - is the holiest Name, Sweeter than nectar is singing of Name ; Sacred the praises of Name, Shri Ram, Repeat Ram-Ram, the Name, Ram-Ram. |
| 'Ram-Naam' blesses the devotees with purity and immortality. The nectar-like holy name of Sri Ram ennobles and edifies and should be recited incessantly (without any pause.) ..1 | |
| Param Satya Param Vigyaan, Jyoti-Swaroop Ram Bhagwaan. Parmaanand, Sarvashaktimaan, Ram Param Hai Ram Mahaan. ..2. | The Highest Truth, Deepest Insight, The Lord Shri-Ram is Brightest Light ; Supreme Joy, Omni-potent, All, The Best of all, Greatest of all. |
| Sri Ram alone is Absolute Truth, Experiential Wisdom, Light, Bliss and Omnipotence. Perfect and Non-Dual, He is the Supreme Soul. ..2 | |
| Amrit Vaani Naam Uchaaran, Ram-Ram Sukhsidhi-Kaaran. Amritvaani Amrit Sri Naam, Ram-Ram Mud Mangal-Dhaam. ..3. | Immortal Word is the Word Ram-Ram, The Spring of Peace, the Fount of Charm ; The Eternal Breath, The Sweetest Psalm, Home of Blesings and Bliss, --Shri Ram. |
| Recitation of Sri Ram's holy name is nectarous (like nectar) and endows the devotees with success, glory, inner calm and bliss. ..3 | |
| Amritroop Ram-Gun Gaan, Amrit-Kathan Ram Vyaakhyaan. Amrit-Vachan Ram Kee Charchaa, Sudhaa Sam Geet Ram Kee Archaa. ..4. | The songs sung in His praise are Sweet, For Him the voices raised are sweet, The words are sweet said in devotion, Like nectar is Shri-Ram's adoration. |
| Singing songs in praise of Sri Ram is most sacrosanct as is cherishing and remembering Him with devotion in any manner or form. ..4 | |
| Amrit Manan Ram Kaa Jaap, Ram-Ram Prabhu Ram Alaap. Amrit Chintan Ram Kaa Dhyaan, Ram Shabd Men Shuchi Samaadhaan. ..5. | Thinking, repeating name is sweet, To sing it in loud refrain is sweet ; To sit in silence, in mind's retreat, And listening there to Name is sweet. |
| Recitation of Sri Ram's holy name sanctifies everything - ‘dhyaan’, ‘saadhanaa’, meditation, contemplation and revelations (answers to the problems appearing during meditation). As the devotee recites 'Ram - Ram', the spiritual significance is felt keenly and subtly; while it is vocal chanting of the word, the Saadhak really meditates and reflects on the spirit. ..5 | |
| Amrit Rasnaa Wahee Kahaave, Ram-Ram, Jahaan Naam Suhaave. Amrit Karm Naam Kamaaee, Ram-Ram Param Sukhdaaee. ..6. | The tongue that tells the Name-Ram-Ram, Is most melodious, full of charm ; Gather within the wealth of Name, Giver of highest joy is Name. |
| Blessed is the tongue that forever remembers 'Ram-Ram'. Indeed, the only significant wealth and righteous deed worth performing consists in constant and sustained recitation of 'Ram-Ram'. This surely bestows lasting inner happiness. ..6 | |
| Amrit Ram-Naam Jo Hee Dhyaave, Amrit Pad So Hee Jan Paave. Ram-Naam Amrit-Ras Saar, Detaa Param Aanand Apaar. ..7. | Whoever repeats the name so Sweet, His soul attains the Immortal Seat ; *Ram-Nam is sweetest World, behold ! Bestower of Highest Joy Un-told ! * The Name of God |
| One who contemplates and meditates on Sri Ram-Naam alone achieves salvation. The Supreme Soul is nectar-like and Ram-Naam is the essence of this nectar which fascinates, thrills, elevates and confers eternal bliss.[Amrit-Pad also refers to that state of immortality which is capable of bestowing itself on others]. ..7 | |
| Ram-Ram Jap He Manaa, Amrit Vaani Maan. Ram-Naam Men Ram Ko, Sadaa Viraajit Jaan. ..8. | Repeat, my mind, Ram-Ram ! For that is Highest Name, And seated is ever Shri-Ram In Temple of this Name. |
| O Mind! Remember forever the holy words 'Ram-Ram' as the provider of salvation and immortality. Also, be certain that Lord Sri Ram is forever existent in His Name(Ram-Naam). ..8 | |
Ram-Naam Mud Mangalkaari, Vighna Hare Sab Paatak Haari. Ram-Naam Shubh-Shakun Mahaan, Swasti Shaanti Shivkar Kalyaan. ..9. | The Name Shri-Ram brings bliss within, Removes all ills and saves from sin ; The Name Shri-Ram is most auspicious, Welcome, peaceful, good and gracious. |
| Ram-Naam is a dispenser of bliss, well being and is a positive remedy for all troubles. An auspicious and great omen, Sri Ram-Naam showers peace, prosperity, benevolence and happiness. ..9 | |
| Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Vichaar, Maanie Uttam Manglaachaar. Ram-Ram Man Mukh Se Gaanaa, Maano Madhur Manorath Paanaa. ..10. | When comes Ram-Ram Shri-Ram in thought, 'Tis sigh, some good will soon be wrought ; Then sing Ram-Ram with heart and mind, You'll sure achieve, what you wish to find. |
| The Beginning of thought-processes centred upon Sri Ram augurs well. Incessant recitation of Sri Ram-Naam with feeling and devotion soon fructifies and paves the way for God-realization. ‘Madhur Manorath’: God-realization. ..10 | |
| Ram-Naam Jo Jan Man Laave, Us Men Shubh Sabhi Bas Jaave. Jahaan Ho Ram-Naam Dhun-Naad, Bhaagen Wahaan Se Visham-Vishaad ..11. | Who seats Ram-Ram within his mind, To him comes blessings of all kind ; The notes of name vibrates wherever, All woes and ills disappear therever. |
| Installing Sri Ram-Naam in the inmost niche of the heart fills the devotee with sublimity and higher spiritual 'wealth'. Happy tidings marked by good fortune, peace and prosperity visit the place while the agents of gloom, pain and doom depart from where Ram-Naam is uttered. ‘Visham-Vishaad’: The three constituents (’Gunas’) of 'Prakriti'- 'Sattva', 'Rajas' and 'Tamas' stand for happiness and goodness, pain and restlessness, and darkness, negativity and passivity respectively. He who is afflicted with ‘tamas’ gets entrapped in the vicious circle of passivity, apathy and inactivity that are difficult to overcome and defy all remedies. ..11 | |
| Ram-Naam Man-Tapt Bujhaave, Sudhaa Ras Seench Shaanti Le Aave. Ram-Ram Japie Kar Bhaav. Suvidhaa Suvidhi Bane Banaav. ..12. | For restless mind Ram-Ram is balm, 'Tis sweet as honey, brings peace and calm ; Repeat Ram-Ram, with zeal repeat, With ease, in time, your needs He'll meet. |
| Driving away mental agony, the Holy Ram-Naam soothes high-strung nerves and tranquillizes. Our only duty is to recite Ram-Ram with firm faith and devotion. The way to all round success and excellence is paved automatically and the devotee is helped to undertake higher spiritual pilgrimage in a propitious(auspicious) environment. ..12 | |
| Ram-Naam Simro Sadaa, Atishaya Mangal Mool. Visham-Vikat Sankat Haran, Kaarak Sab Anukool. ..13. | Repeat the Name-Ram-Ram- Source of blessings un-told, Slayer of ill and evil, Giver of help mani-fold. |
O Saadhak! With keenness and complete faith, remember forever ‘Ram-Naam’ - the Provider of invaluable inner peace, comfort, happiness and equanimity, and the Victor who vanquishes agony, anguish and inauspiciousness. ‘Visham-Vikat-Sankat’: Onset of intolerable and terrible difficulties all at once. ..13 | |
Japnaa Ram-Ram Hai Sukrit, Ram-Naam Hai Naashak Dushkrit. Simre Ram-Ram Hee Jo Jan, Uskaa Ho Shuchitar Tan-Man. ..14. | Repeat the Name-'Tis best of acts, The Name-Ram-Ram-all ills corrects ; Whoever repeats the Name Ram-Ram, His body and mind become pure and calm. |
| Devout recitation of Sri Ram's holy name is the most sacred act that ennobles, elevates and sanctifies, besides cleansing the inner dross (evil) by overwhelming the evil and the evil deeds of the devotee. ..14 | |
Jismen Ram-Naam Shubh Jaage, Us Ke Paap-Taap Sab Bhaage. Man Se Ram-Naam Jo Uchaare, Us Ke Bhaagen Bhram Bhaya Saare. ..15. | When blessed Name awakes within, The mind is purged of pride and sin ; Whoever in joy chants name and sings, His doubts and fears at once take wings. |
One whose inner being gets aglow with the Holy Light of Ram Naam no longer suffers the pangs of suffering, adversity, doubt and fear. Anyone who remembers Ram-Naam with devotion, faith and reverence is not bothered by fear and doubt. ‘Taap’: Pain/adversity in the following forms:- 1. Physical and mental - fever, anger, worry, lust, bereavement etc. 2. Afflictions caused by external factors such as thief, scorpion, snake etc. 3. Natural - Earthquake, floods , drought etc. ‘Bhaya’: Fear of misfortune such as loss of life, property or prestige. ..15 | |
| Jis Men Bas Jaaye Ram Sunaam, Hove Vah Jan Poornkaam. Chit Men Ram-Ram Jo Simre, Nishchaya Bhav Saagar Se Tare. ..16. | In whom the sacred name is nested In him Shri-Ram is manifested ; When Name Ram-Ram in mind appears, One swims ashore from sea of fears. |
| He has all his desires fulfilled who consecrates his inmost niche with Sri Ram's holy name. Passionate and ceaseless remembrance of Ram-Ram enables the devotee to attain eternal salvation from the mortal world. ..16 | |
| Ram-Simran Hove Sahaaee, Ram-Simran Hai Sukhdaaee. Ram-Simran Sab Se Oonchaa, Ram Shakti Sukh Gyaan Samoochaa. ..17. | Ram-Ram repeat, He helps, does heal, Giver of health and wealth and weal ; Repeat Ram-Ram, highest of all, Giver of peace, wisdom and all. |
As the supreme religious practice, recitation of Sri Ram's holy name with devotion and dedication facilitates all round well being and positive attitude. Sri Ram’s constant remembrance is the Highest Act that blesses the devotee with strength, bliss and higher knowledge. ‘Simran’: Remembering Sri Ram - Sri Ram with utmost faith and keenness. ..17 | |
Ram-Ram Hee Simar Man, Ram-Ram Sri Ram. Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Bhaj, Ram-Ram Hari-Naam. ..18. | Repeat, Repeat, my mind ! Ram-Ram Shri-Ram Ram-Ram. Sing, Sing, Most sacred song- Ram-Ram Shri-Ram Ram-Ram. |
O Mind! Remember forever Sri Ram's Holy name. He symbolizes God, the Purifier. Recite forever ‘Ram-Ram’ as the Name Itself embodies God. ‘Hari’: The Almighty God who overpowers and conquers all evils. ‘Bhaj’: (Ruminate) Remembering God's name in the same manner as the animals enjoy chewing the cud long after having eaten the fodder. Likewise, the devotee should be filled with ecstasy and pure bliss as he fondly and passionately remembers and recollects the majestic name of Shri Ram. ..18 | |
Maat-Pitaa Baandhav Sut Daaraa, Dhan Jan Saajan Sakhaa Pyaaraa. Ant Kaal De Sake Naa Sahaaraa, Ram-Naam Teraa Taaran Haaraa. ..19. | Mother, Father, Relations, Son, Wife, Wealth, Power, Husband, Friend dear as life, At death, to help, no one will wend, Ram-nam alone will save at the End. |
| As the spirit within prepares to depart from the human body, all the worldly relations and familial bonds prove of no avail. 'Ram - Naam' alone accompanies the Spirit on its onward journey to God's abode and is Its saviour/protector. ..19 | |
| Simran Ram-Naam Hai Sangi, Sakhaa Snehee Suhird Shubh Angi. Yug-Yug Kaa Hai Ram Sahelaa, Ram-Bhakt Nahin Rahe Akelaa. ..20. | The Name, Ram-Ram, is all in all, So near and dear within your call ; From age to age His Light has shone, A devotee of Ram is never alone. |
| O Saadhak! Thy only associate, comrade, friend and well-wisher is Sri Ram's holy name that never forsakes and, indeed, has been with the devotees since the beginning of the universe. In fact, Sri Ram's devout devotee is never lonesome, as His blessings and protection are always available to him. ..20 | |
| Nirjan-Van Vipad Ho Ghor, Nibirdh-Nishaa Tam Sab Or. Jot Jab Ram-Naam Kee Jage, Sankat Sarva Sahaj Se Bhage. ..21. | In wilderness, in deep distress, When all around is death, darkness, As light of Name Ram-Ram is lit, Of own accord all sufferings quit. |
| Be it a desolate and forsaken jungle, an awesome dark night, seemingly endless tribulations and agonies - all these disappear instantly and of their own accord as soon as our inner being is aglow with the Holy Ram-Naam. ..21 | |
Baadhaa Bardhi Visham Jab Aave, Vair Virodh Vighna Bardh Jaave. Ram-Naam Japiye Sukh Daataa, Sachaa Saathi Jo Hitkar Traataa. ..22. | When odds and ends obstruct way, Enemies abound, jealousies sway, In Name Ram-Ram seek rest abide, Comforter, companion, well-wisher, true guide. |
| The devotee should constantly remember and recite 'Ram- Naam' - the infallible (sure) remedy for enmity, hurdles, resistance or opposition as ‘Jaap’ of 'Ram-Naam ' alone proves to be a dependable friend, benefactor and protector. ..22 | |
| Man Jab Dhairya Ko Nahin Paave, Kuchintaa Chitt Ko Choor Banaave. Ram-Naam Jape Chintaa Choorak, Chintaamani Chitt Chintan Poorak. ..23. | When mind is ruffled and finds no rest, With cares and fears it is oppressed, Then chant the name in Temple, --Shri-Ram, Where mind is cured of cares and qualms. |

Only when the heart is genuinely imbued (filled) and resonant with Ram-Naam, do Sri Ram’s Grace and Benediction bless the devotee. ‘Dhun’: Spontaneous, continuous and harmonious resonance of the Holy Ram-Naam within the Devotee. ..71 | |
| Rahoon Main Naam Men Ho Kar Leen, Jaise Jal Men Ho Meen Adeen. Ram-Kripaa Bharpoor Main Paaoon, Param Prabhu Ko Bheetar Laaoon. ..72. | Oh may I live in Name as free, In waters as a fish is free, And fill myself with grace and Love, Within, around, below and above. |
| Just as the marine life (sea animals like fish) roam around fearlessly in water, I wish to be fully immersed in the glory of Ram-Naam and to experience Oneness and complete identification with Sri Ram and His Grace. Indeed, Sri Ram and His Grace are one and inseparable from each other. ..72 | |
| Bhakti-Bhaav Se Bhakt Sujaan, Bhajte Ram-Kripaa Kaa Nidhaan. Ram-Kripaa Us Jan Men Aave, Jis Men Aap Hee Ram Basaave. ..73. | The devotees of God with greatest love, Of Grace of God seek treasure trove ; On him alone does Grace descend, On whom He Himself chooses to send. |
| It is with extreme fondness and reverence that the learned and the devout remember and invoke the benediction of Sri Ram who is the Apostle and Fountainhead of Compassion and Grace. Indeed, Sri Ram Himself wills and chooses his Beneficiaries – Recipients. ..73 | |
| Kripaa Prasaad Hai Ram Kee Deni, Kaal-Vyaal Janjaal Har Leni. Kripaa-Prasaad Sudhaa-Sukh-Swaad, Ram-Naam De Rahit Vivaad. ..74. | When in His Mercy His Grace Descends, Destroys death's gall, all vanity ends ; God's Grace -- so sweet, soothing, as balm, Comes quietly on him who sings Ram-Ram. |
| Sri Ram Himself bestows His Grace on the devotees and liberates the human souls from the clutches and fangs of Time - the Ruthless (without pity) Serpent. Indeed, Sri Ram’s Grace provides the nectarous (like nectar) bliss surely and unmistakably. ..74 | |
Prabhu-Prasaad Shiv-Shaanti-Daataa, Brahm-Dhaam Men Aap Pahunchaataa. Prabhu-Prasaad Paave Wah Praanee, Ram-Ram Jape Amrit-Vaani. ..75. | The Grace of God Gives peace, happiness, And leads to Kingdom of Blessedness ; On him who takes the Name Divine, Blessings of God descend and shine. |
| He attains Sri Ram’s Grace and Benevolence who chants His divine name keenly and fervently. Such a devotee also experiences Sri Ram’s liberal munificence (generosity) in being blessed with bliss and inner peace, and is led to God’s abode. ..75 | |
| Aushadh Ram-Naam Kee Khaaiye, Mrityu Janm Ke Rog Mitaaiye. Ram-Naam Amrit Ras-Paan, Detaa Amal Achal Nirvaan. ..76. | Of Name, - Ram-Ram 'th remedy employ, All ills of mortal life destroy ; Drink in the nectar-like sweet Name, Highest salvation thereby attain. |
| The only ‘medicine’ worth taking is the Holy Ram-Naam that Surely delivers and liberates us from the endless chain of life and death, the agony and travails (pain) of mortal life, and leads us to salvation (immortality of the soul) of the purest and highest order. ..76 | |
| Ram-Ram Dhun Goonj Se, Bhav-Bhaya Jaate Bhaag. Ram-Naam Dhun Dhyaan Se, Sab Shubh Jaate Jaag. ..77. | Chant loud Ram-Ram Shri-Ram, Doubt & fear shall dis-appear ; Hark within the Name Ram-Ram, Hope & cheer shall reappear. |
| With the echoes of the sound of holy ‘Ram-Ram’ all apprehensions of the birth-death-birth cycle disappear. Also vanish all the evil forces yielding place to the auspicious forces of all round well being after the devotee trains his mind and attention on the Holy sound of ‘Ram-Ram’. ..77 | |
| Maangoon Main Ram-Naam Mahaadaan, Kartaa Nirdhan Kaa Kalyaan. Dev-Dwaar Par Janm Kaa Bhookhaa, Bhakti Prem Anuraag Se Rookhaa. ..78. | I seek the Name, greatest of gifts, The rich treasure that ever up-lifts ; Since births Thy Gate I watch and wait, Alas! I lack in love and faith!. |
| I humbly beseech (request) and pray for the benefaction of the unparalleled Ram-Naam that dispels (removes) privation and poverty, and grants all the blessings. For the past innumerable lives, I have been devoid of His Grace and am indeed without any positive traits (qualities) like devotion, ardent desire, faith and genuine spiritual quest (search). ..78 | |
| ‘Par Hoon Teraa’-Yah Liye Ter, Charan Pardhe Kee Rakhiyo Mer. Apnaa Aap Virad-Vichaar, Deejiye Bhagwan! Naam Pyaar. ..79. | But 'I am Thine', Oh, 'I am Thine', I seek refuge singing this rhyme ; Keep Thou Thy Word, fulfil Thy Claim, Give me, my Lord, deep love for Name. |
| I passionately beseech Thee, O Lord, Sri Ram! because ‘I am Thine’ only. Here do I lie prostrate before Thee! Pray, bethink Thine stature, magnificence, fame and, being unmindful of my vices and frailties, grant me Thine Forgiveness, Patronage, Affection, Blessings and unshakeable faith in my devotion for You! ..79 | |
| Ram-Naam Ne We Bhee Taare, Jo The Adharmi-Adham Hatyaare. Kapti-Kutil-Kukarmi Anek, Tar Gaye Ram-Naam Le Ek. ..80. | Hath not Thy Name sinners saved ? Wicked worthless morally depraved ? Criminals culprits fallen in shame, Have washed their sins in river of Name. |
| The holy ‘Ram-Naam’ ensured ultimate salvation even to those who were atheistic and irreligious, and who led a life of wickedness, immorality, crime, promiscuity (indiscriminate physical relations), deceit and treachery. This was the result of remembering Sri Ram’s Name only. ..80 | |
| Tar Gaye Dhriti-Dhaarnaa Heen, Dharm-Karm Men Jan Ati Deen. Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Jap Jaap, Huye Atul-Vimal-Apaap. ..81. | Even those in actions and duties meek, With minds infirm, wavering and weak, Repeat Ram-Ram, achieve success, Are firm in faith, become pure, sinless. |
The Graciousness of ‘Sri Ram-Naam’ saves the souls of even those who lack steadiness, faith, self-restraint and are irreligious and overtly indulgent (fond of pleasure). The holiest of the holy ‘Ram-Ram’ helped and sustained the worst offenders and criminals, who were absolutely cleansed and purified without any traces of past sinfulness. ‘Dhriti’: steadiness. ..81 | |
| Ram-Naam Man Mukh Men Bole, Ram-Naam Bheetar Pat Khole. Ram-Naam Se Kamal-Vikaas. Hoven Sab Saadhan Sukh-Raas. ..82. | Mutter Ram-Ram in mind, in mouth, And open the gate of heart's house, Ram-Nam opens Lotuses within, Flowers to joy each discipline. |
| Silent and persistent recitation of the Holy ‘Ram-Naam’ dispels(removes) with its resplendence (dazzling brightness) the dark clouds of ignorance and, instead, fills the devotee’s inner being with Superconsciousness. Knowledge of the ‘Brahman’-the Lotus brings our spiritual quest (search) to its grand finale-Oneness with the Creator. ..82 | |
| Ram-Naam Ghat Bheetar Base, Saans-Saans Nas-Nas Se Rase. Sapne Men Bhee Na Bisre Naam, Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Ram-Ram. ..83. | With every breath, in every vein, Through-out your body, pulsate the Name, So place in name your every thought, You, even in dreams, forget it not. |
| When the Holy ‘Ram-Naam’ pervades (fills) our heart and soul, the entire Being, including every pore and breath, pulsates with Sri Ram’s Grace as spontaneously as the hilly springs gush forth effortlessly. Thereafter, not in the slumberous state (dreams) does the devotee become oblivious (forgetful) of the auspicious ‘Ram-Ram’. Instead, ‘Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Ram-Ram’ becomes integral part of his consciousness and he experiences abiding remembrance of ‘Ram-Naam’. ..83 | |
Ram-Naam Ke Mel Se, Sadh Jaate Sab-Kaam. Dev-Dev Deve Yadaa. Daan Mahaa-Sukh-Dhaam. ..84. | Who, by the Grace of God, Get united with the Name, Whatever task they undertake, Success there-in attain. |
| Sri Ram’s noble and compassionate ‘Naam’ helps in realizing all our goals. The devotee experiences fulfilment of his human existence. The truly lasting and indestructible wealth of ultimate bliss is received when God of Gods, Sri Ram blesses us with it. ..84 | |
Aho! Main Ram-Naam Dhan Paayaa, Kaan Men Ram-Naam Jab Aayaa. Mukh Se Ram-Naam Jab Gaayaa, Man Se Ram-Naam Jab Dhyaayaa. ..85. | Believe! You've found the Name's treasure, When rings Its melody in your ear, When in your tongue Its honesty abounds, When in your mind its rhythm resounds. |
| How indeed lucky am I to have been blessed with the most invaluable wealth of ‘Ram-Naam’! This priceless treasure became mine only when with faith and feeling I began to recite, listen to and contemplate ‘Ram-Naam’-steadfastly and without any distraction (interruption). ..85 | |
| Paa Kar Ram-Naam Dhan-Raashi, Ghor-Avidyaa Vipad Vinaashi. Bardhaa Jab Ram Prem Kaa Poor, Sankat-Sanshaya Ho Gaye Door. ..86. | O seeks Ram-Nam's power boundless, Destroy deep darkness and distress ; Of love for name when comes the tide, Difficulties and doubts are swept aside. |
| As the devotee is blessed with the unique spiritual wealth of 'Ram-Naam', the dark and painful clouds of ignorance dissolve and disappear. Also get washed away in the deluge (flood) of Sri Ram’s Grace all the evil forces of fear, doubt and misfortune. Fond and devout devotion to Sri Ram transforms itself into an infallible remedy and antidote for even the worst forms of ignorance, doubts and misfortunes. ..86 | |
Ram-Naam Jo Jape Ek Ber, Us Ke Bheetar Kosh-Kuber. Deen-Dukhiyaa-Dridra-Kangaal, Ram-Ram Jap Hove Nihaal. ..87. | But once who is able to unfold, The Name, he finds treasures un-told ; Broken, bleeding, or poor, wretched, Repeat Ram-Ram, become blessed. |
| Passionate and soulful remembrance of Ram-Naam, even though once, enriches the devotee spiritually in a way that can compare well with Mammon - God of Wealth. Recital of ‘Ram-Ram’ with devotion and faith endows even the helpless, hapless, destitute, indigent (needy) and depressed with wealth, affluence, eminence and good luck. ..87 | |
| Hirdaya Ram-Naam Se Bhariye, Sanchaya Ram-Naam Dhan Kariye. Ghat Men Naam Moorti Dhariye, Poojaa Antarmukh Ho Kariye. ..88. | O fill your heart! Ram-Ram within, Gather the treasure of Name there-in, There place idol of God, -- Shri Ram, Worship Him there in silence calm. |
| We should amass and accumulate the only sacrosanct wealth of ‘Ram-Naam’ in our hearts. In fact, ‘Ram-Naam’ should be embedded in the inmost niche of our Being. We should introspect and forever remain in a state of devout and profound contemplation on the glories of Sri Ram Who graces our inner being. ..88 | |
| Aankhen Moond Ke Suniye Sitaar, Ram-Ram Sumadhur Jhankaar. Us Me Man Kaa Mel Milaao, Ram-Ram Sur Men Hee Samaao. ..89. | Then close your eyes, listen to lyre, Ringing the rhythm of Name so clear, And tune your mind to music sweet, Be one with Ram, Ram-Ram Repeat. |
| We should be attuned to the celestial (heavenly) harmony emanating (originating) from the holy ‘Ram-Ram’ that forever orchestrates (runs, performs) within. In fact, our consciousness should lose its independent identity and mingle and merge with Sri Ram’s Superconsciousness. ..89 | |
| Japoon Main Ram-Ram Prabhu Ram, Dhyaaoon Main Ram-Ram Hare Ram. Simroon Main Ram-Ram Prabhu Ram, Gaaoon Main Ram-Ram Sri Ram. ..90. | With mind on Lord of Light - Shri-Ram, May I repeat, recite Ram-Ram ! In silence I say, Ram-Ram-Shri-Ram, Aloud I sing Ram-Ram-Shri-Ram ! |
| O Most Adorable, Sri Ram! Grant me the blessing of invoking and remembering Thy Holy Name each moment and every breath of my life. I wish to meditate, contemplate and sing devoutly the glories of Thine Name alone. ..90 | |
Amritvaani Kaa Nitya Gaanaa, Ram-Ram Man Beech Ramaanaa. Detaa Sankat-Vipad Nivaar, Kartaa Shubh Sri Manglaachaar. ..91. | The *AMRIT-VANI--to recite each day On mind to let its music play, Is to take away each evil, each ill, Is to make the way for all good-will. * This Booklet |

Ram-Naam Jap Paath Se, Ho Amrit Sanchaar. Ram-Dhaam Men Preeti Ho, Sugun-Gan Kaa Vistaar. ..92. | Repeat the Name each day, Sit daily in Sun-shine, Build your Home in Kingdom of joy, Love, Light Divine. |
| Reverential recital and contemplation of ‘Ram-Naam’ grants the gift of divine nectar and enhances the devotee’s spiritual attainments manifold, strengthens the spiritual bond with Sri Ram and fosters positive and lofty traits (qualities). ..92 | |

| Ram-Mantra is the Redeemer and Saviour which delivers our soul from the mortal bondage (captivity in the perishable human body). Be sure that remembrance of this Mahaa-Mantra leads to salvation as well as provides all round bliss, good fortune, God-Realization and Oneness with the Supreme Being. (May our faith in the Mahaa-Mantra of Ram-Naam be resolute and unshakeable). ..93 | |
