Shri Ram Name Chanting | Shri Ram Naam Jaap Mahima

A guru was teaching Vishnu Sahasranama to a group of young boys. The Guru repeated the verse:

राम रामेति रामेति रमेरामे मनोरमे।

सहस्रनाम तत्तुल्यं राम नाम वरानने।।

Raam Raameti Raameti Rame Raame Manorame.

Sahasranaam Tattulyan Raamanaam Varaanane..

Then he said to the boys, if you chant the name of Rama thrice, it is equivalent to chanting the entire Vishnu Sahasranama or the name of God 1000 times.

One of the boys did not agree with the teacher. He asked the teacher, Guruji! How can 3 times = 1000 times? I don’t comprehend the sense of this. How 3 names = 1000 names?

The wise and accomplished guru, who was a great devotee of Lord Rama, explained very simply, Lord Shiva says that the name of Lord Rama is sweeter than all words and the chanting of this name is the complete Vishnu Sahasranama or 1000 names of Vishnu. It is equivalent to chanting.

To confirm that chanting Rama Naam 3 times = 1000 times or equivalent to chanting the entire Vishnu Sahasranama, here is an interesting numerical calculation-

There are two Sanskrit letters in the name of Rama – Ra and Ma.

Ra (second consonant of Sanskrit: ya, ra, l, v, s, sh)

Ma (Sanskrit’s fifth consonant: p, ph, b, bh, ma)

By putting 2 and 5 in place of R and M, Ram = 2 * 5 = 10

So speaking Ram Ram Ram three times = 2 * 5 * 2 * 5 * 2 * 5 = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000

Thus chanting Ram Naam 3 times is equal to 1000 times.

The boy was pleased with this answer and started learning Vishnu Sahasranama with full concentration and devotion.

Thanking this inquisitive child, let us spread this information to maximum brothers and chant the name of Ram at least 1000 times daily in the morning and evening.

They appreciate it when the meaning or purpose of performing a ritual or worship is explained to others, especially children. And understanding their meaning, not in coercion, but with reverence, follow them. Wisdom comes from knowledge and experience.

Why Is Ram Ram Called Twice Together?

 What is the secret behind Ram-Ram speaking together?

 In Hinduism, when many people meet, they address each other as Ram-Ram. Do you know what is considered the reason for saying Ram Ram twice simultaneously? Such a tradition is going on since time immemorial.

It is believed that “R” is the 27th word in the Hindi vocabulary. “A” is the second word and “M” is the 25th word in the vocabulary.

The sum of these three digits is 27+ 2 +25 = 54.

Once the sum of Ram’s name happened 54

  Twice the sum of Ram-Ram is 54+54= 108

  When we chant a mantra, we spin a rosary of 108 beads. It is believed that just by saying Ram-Ram, the whole rosary is chanted.

Short Story – Hanuman Ji Glorified The Name Of Ram

Before the Lanka war, when Hanuman ji came after finding Sita and Samudra Dev suggested Shri Ram to build a bridge over the sea.

The entire monkey army was working for the construction of a bridge on the sea. Shri Ram was watching by writing his name and putting stones in water, he gets wet.

Shri Ram started thinking in his mind that if the stones get soaked in my name, then the stone thrown by me in the sea will also get wet. But as soon as Shri Ram put the stone in the water, he drowned.

Shri Ram wondered why this happened?

Hanuman ji was watching this whole incident. Hanuman ji started asking what the Lord was thinking. Shri Ram started saying that the stone on which Hanuman has written my name is burning the stone but why did the stone put by me drown in the water.

Hanuman ji started saying that the stones are floating in the water because of the Lord holding your name, but who can save the stones which you are giving up yourself from drowning? That is, the name of Shri Ram is going to be drawn from the ocean of Bhava.

Hanuman ji proved the name of Ram bigger than Ram

It is said that when Shri Ram became the king of Ayodhya, there was a debate in his meeting whether Ram is big or Ram’s name is big.

Narad ji used to say that “Ram’s name is big” and all the other people used to say that “Ram Bade” Narad ji employed a trick to prove his word. When Hanuman ji came to the meeting, he asked Hanuman ji to bow down to all the sages but Maharaj ji did not tell him anything about Vishwamitra, so he did not bow down.

On the other hand Vishwamitra ji went and said, “Hanuman did not bow down to you. He has disrespected you.” Vishwamitraji expressed Lord Shri Ram that Hanuman has disrespected me. Give it the death penalty.

When Hanuman ji came to know that Shri Ram ji was going to punish him with death, he went and sat under a tree. And started chanting the tune of Ram Ram. He got his attention while reciting the name of Ram.

When Shri Ram ji reached there, he fired many arrows at Hanuman ji but not even a hair of Hanuman ji was plucked. But to fulfill the orders of his guru, Ram ji also fired Brahmastra on him but that too failed.

This happened because Hanuman ji was continuously chanting Ram Ram. Sage Vishisht then told sage Vishwamitra that you get Ram out of this religious crisis. Hanuman Ram is memorizing Ram. That’s why not even a single hair of Hanuman is getting frisky.

On the other hand, Shri Ram was upset due to not being able to fulfill the orders of his Guru. Then Vishwamitra freed Shri Ram from his word. Then Narad ji told that Hanuman did not insult the sage Vishwamitra.

I deliberately did not tell him about the sage Vishwamitra. Because I wanted to prove that the name of Ram is bigger than Ram, and who can prove this thing better than Hanuman, a devotee of Ram. No one can do bad to those who chant the name of Ram. That day it was proved that Ram’s name is bigger than Ram.
