SIGNIFICADO DE OM NAMO NARAYANAYA HOW TO

One must understand that although all of the plant roots can be used as medicine, not every Tom, Dick and Harry will know how to use these plant roots as medicine. Hence the meaning of the saying is very clear, there is not one “Akshara” which is not a mantra and there is not one plant root that is not a medicine. Now let me explain the next part of the saying “nasti moolam anoushadam”, which means there is not one plant root which cannot be used as a medicine.

In the Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva is shown to be the source of all “Aksharas”, hence mantras can also be used to invoke Ishwara who is the source of the cosmos. Similarly, the potential power of the mantra can only be unlocked by the practitioner who has done a lot of Sadhana and repeating the mantra. Let us take the example of a small data chip that contains enormous amount of information, would we be able to actually see this data without being connected to the appropriate computer equipment? Obviously not.

Now what is a mantra, this needs a little explanation. There is not one “Akshara”, in this case a syllable (in this case the syllables used in Sanskrit) which is not a mantra. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya can be used in a meditative repetition known as japa, in which the mantra should be recited for at least 15 minutes and followed by silent meditation for maximum benefit.There is a saying in Sanskrit, “Amantram Aksharam nasti, nasti moolam anoushadam”. Krishna is said to dwell within all beings, and reciting this mantra is therefore a means of attaining awareness of the Krishna consciousness within. It is believed that if devotees recite Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya daily, Krishna will stand by them and respond to the calls of their hearts immediately. As such, the most common understanding of this mantra is a reverent salutation to Vishnu as Krishna. Vasudevay can either refer to Krishna, the god ( devaya) of light ( vasu), or the infinite and formless universal energy of Brahman. Bhagavate refers to one who is divine, blessed or considered to be Godlike. Namo can be translated as “to bow to” or “to pay homage to,” and is often used as a salutation representing spiritual surrender. Om is the primordial and sacred sound vibration of the universe, believed to encompass universal energy. Some Kripalu practitioners interpret the meaning as “I bow down to the divine light within,” thereby using the mantra as a means of self-realization. In addition to its use in Vaishnavism, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay is popular in the Kripalu tradition. It is considered a maha or ‘great’ mantra. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay and Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya are generally used interchangeably.ĭue to the nature and multiple meanings of Sanskrit words, translations of Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay vary, but all indicate praise for the supreme god. This mantra is understood to be a moksha or mukti (liberation) mantra, recited as a way to achieve spiritual freedom from samsara, or the recurring cycle of death and reincarnation. However, this mantra is recited as much for the benefits of the sacred sound vibrations as for any specific meaning. Regardless of this difference, both traditions agree that Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay is the supreme Vishnu mantra.įound in the ancient Hindu text, Vishnu Purana, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay can be translated as “I bow to Lord Vasudeva (Lord Krishna)”. Known as the Dwadasakshari or ‘twelve-syllable’ mantra, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the incarnation of Krishna.Īccording to the Tantric tradition, the Rishi (seer or sage) who originated this mantra is Prajapati, but in the Puranic Tradition the Rishi is Narada. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay (Sanskrit: ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय) is one of the most popular Hindu mantras, central to the tradition of Vaishnavism.
