Shi Rama Jayam, by Sashidharan Komandur
The shloka below is an extract from ‘Vishnu sahasranam’. Parvati, the divine consort of Lord Shiva asks him to tell an easy way for all the scholars to chant the 1000 names of Lord Vishnu.
Sri Rama Rama Ramethi Rame Rame Manorame
Sahasranama Tathulyam Rama Nama Varaname
Description: Lord Shiva says that the name of Lord Rama is the sweetest of all the words and chanting this name would be equivalent to chanting the whole Vishnu Sahasranama as it is the base of all the names.
Lord Rama is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu (Vishnu is the Preserver and Maintainer of this Universe). Ramayan, which describes the story of Bhagwan (Lord) Ram, also includes teachings of Lord Rama as practical solutions to the problems of life. Festivals of Ram-Navami, Diwali, and Dussehra, are all related to the life of Lord Rama. In the entire Hindu spiritual literature, Bhagwan (Lord) Rama stands out as an outstanding and most glorious of all persons. No other person has been described with such perfection in all phases, and in all aspects of life, as Lord Rama has been.The famous sage Valmiki describes Lord Rama as an Ideal Of Perfection, as Maryada-Purushottam (the most perfect man who has ever walked the Earth). To symbolize properly, the emotional attachment of Hindus to the name Rama is intense.
So perfect is Lord Rama, and so perfect is his system of government, that the phrase Rama-Rajya is equated to the notion of an ideal government.

Raama Naama Sattya Ekam Aum
Raama is love {premma}, Raama is peace {shantih}, Raama is all, Raama dwells in the soul divine of one and all, Raama is infinite, Raama is eternal, Raama is divine light of million delights, Raama is effulgent SuryaNarayan, Raama is the Ocean, Raama is the divine cosmic sky, Raama is the divine light of the candle {JyottRaam}, Raama is the eternal wind - the spirit of Hanumantha forever! Raama is not realised in ownerships but in contemplation, devotion, sharing, love, and humanity at large….
Hold NOT onto the things that give us pleasure; let go of the things that give us hurt; give up the things that give us uncertainties; abandon thoughts that give us fear; give up control over another’s life; oh this life, let it be, let it be, let it be what it may be, just let go of all things binding in ownerships of ‘mine’, ‘me’, ‘I’, and ‘my’! Let go of all! Dance like the wind, sing like the seas, fly like the swan, walk like a dove, listen and learn the lessons of karma for ours is not to own or to hold on to life but to dissolve in time towards the eternal light of Raama where no one can hold us, no one dare intrude our dreams, save for the divinity of our own Soul!
Let us enrich our hearts, fulfil our minds but never to sell our SOUL INTEGRITY
Aum Shree Seeta_Raama, Jaya Shree SitaRama, Hari Rama, SiyaRama, RunnaRama, RannaRama, haartaRaam, DaataRaam, SarvahRaam, AntaarRaam, YantaarRaam, BitaarRaam, MatraaRaama, TantraRaama, SidhRaam, YogRaam, PujaRam, AteetvaRaam, ShabreeRaam, Hanu_Raama, NeelaRaam, SitaamRaam, MokshaRama, RamaRama Jaya shree Raama
Aum Shree Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Raama, Aum Shree Raama Jaya Raam Siya Raama.
Infinitely eternal than Brahmah Eishwaar [Bhagavan;God;] Hari is his name verily ‘Shree Raama’ divinely granting emancipation to the mortal spirit of life here on earthen clay.
Come embrace me, come hug me, come love me, come let us share the little time we have here on earth, for death awaits us all inevitably, in uncertainty!
There is only one religion - the religion of universal love;
only one universal caste - the caste of humanity;
only one language - the language of the heart;
only one law - the law of Karma [satt-karma and vikarma]
and there is only one God - He is omnipresent Raama who resides forever in our hearts. The Gods could not decide upon what would make up Shree Bhagavanji’s avataar to DasharathaRaja comprising the following: eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve Adityas, Indra, Varuna, Somam, Prajapatti and Brahma-Vishnoo-Shiva into one embodiment of SWAROOPA-AVATAARI, then Naradji reversed the word Maaram the echo that came back was RAAMA so loud that the entire Godhead was lit with grandeur of light of golden hue purple glow! Raama was echoed all over the three worlds with AUM AUM AUM infinitely……….
Recite AUM SHREE RAAAMA JAYA RAAMA JAYA JAYA RAAMA
DEDICATED TO ALL HINDU BROTHERS AND SISTERS ELDERS AND UNCLES, MAA’S AND BETIS; SHAKTIS AND PURUSHAS.
