devotee's mind,

Jai Sri Ram,
The lord on the other hand, applauded my devotion,

And spirit of hearing of, perceiving and scanning them with the mind's eye,

If there is nothing good in one's heart,

it is marred by telling, for sri Rama is pleased to note what is there there in the devotee's mind,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

tale of my sin

Jai Sri Ram,
My presumption and error are indeed great,

Hearing the tale of my sin, even hell turned up its nose at them,

I shudder to think of it due to my assumed fears,

While Sri Rama took no notice of them even in a dream,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Jai Sri Ram

Jai sri Ram,
The benevolent Rama will nonetheless respect the devotion and pleasure of this wicked servant,

Sri Rama, who made barks out of rocks and wise counselors out of monkeys and bears,

Everybody calls me a servant of the Lord and I myself claim to be one,

And sri Rama puts up with the scoffing remarks that a master like Sita's Lord has a servant like Tulsidasa,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
And the pious, sensible,amiable and supremely compassionate ruler, who takes his descent from a ray of God, greet all with sweet words,

Hearing their compliments and appraising their composition, devotion, supplication and conduct,

Such is the way of earthly monarchs, to say nothing of Sri Rama,

Who is crest jewel of wise men, Sri Rama gets pleased with unalloyed love, but who is duller and more impure of mind in this world than I,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Thanks Please

Jai Sri Ram,
In the world as well as in the Vedas we observe the following characteristic in a good master,

That he he comes to recognize one's devotion to him as soon as he hears one's prayer,

Rich or poor, rustic or urban, learned or unlettered, of good repute of bad, a good poet or a bad one,

All men and woman extol the king according to his or her light,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Rama a noble Lord

Jai Sri Ram,
Remembering that name and bowing my head to the lord of Raghus,

I proceeded to recount the virtues of Sri Rama,

He whose grace is never tired of showing its good will to others will mend my errors in everyday,

Rama a noble Lord, and a poor servant like myself, yet true to his own disposition that storehouse of compassion has fostered me,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Jai sri Ram

In an angry mood or even while yawning, diffuses joy in all the ten directions

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Killed by Sri Hanuman

Jai Sri Ram,
The age of Kali is as it were the demon Kalanemi,

The repository of all wiles,

Whereas the Name is the wise and mighty Hanuman,

The Story of Kalanemi and his death at the hands of Sri Hanuman has been briefly told that he was a demon chief that contemporary of Ravana, assumed the false appearance of an ascetic and tried to deceive Hanuman but was ultimately detected and Killed By Hanuman,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Only Resort

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The verdict of the Vedas and Puranas

Jai Sri Ram,
The verdict of the Vedas and Puranas as well as of saints is just this,

That love of Rama or the Name Rama, is the reward of all virtues acts,

In this age-the Kali age, however simply corrupt and root of all impurities, where the mind willow like a fish in the ocean of sin, in this terrible age the name alone is the wish yielding tree, the very thought of which put an end to all the illusions of the world,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Not even Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
The vile Ajamila and even the celebrated elephant and the harlot of the legend were liberated by the power of Sri Hari's Name,

I have no words to depict the glory of the Name,

Not even Rama can adequately glorify it,

The Name of Sri Rama is a wish yielding tree, the very home of beatitude in this age of Kali, by remembering which Tulsidasa was transformed from an intoxicating drug like hump plant into holy basil,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Holy Name

Jai Sri Ram,
Dhruva repeated the name of Sri Hari with a feeling of indignation,

The harsh treatment received from his step mother,

And thereby attained a fixed and incomparable station in the heavens,

It is by remembering the Holy Name that Hanuman holds Sri Rama under his thumb,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Narada

Jai sri Ram,
Again, it is by the grace of the Name alone that Siddhas that adepts, Sages and Yogis like Suka and Sankadik and others enjoy divine raptures,

Narada realized the glory of the name, that is why, while Hari is beloved of the world,

And Hara is dear to the Hari and And Narada is dear to Sri Hari and Hara Both,

It was because of his repeating the name that the Lord showered His grace on Prahalada, who thereby become the crest jewel of devotees,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

bestower of Boons

Jai sri Ram,
The name is thus greater than Brahma and Sri Rama both,

And confers blessings even on the bestower of Boons,

Knowing this in His heart, the great Lord Shiva chose this word Rama for himself out of Sri Rama's story comprising 100 crore verses,

By the grace of the Name alone lord Shambhu is immortal and though endowed with inauspicious paraphernalia is yet a store house of blessings,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Rama killed in battle Ravana with all his family and returned to his own city with Sita,

He then crowned king in the capital of Ayodhya, while gods and sages sung his glories in choicest phrases,

His Servants are, however, able to conquer the formidable army of error by fondly remembering his Name,

And absorbed in devotion, move about in joy which is peculiarly their own, by grace of the name they not sorrow even in dream,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

in the Vedas

Jai Sri Ram,
This superb glory of the name shines forth in the world as well as in the Vedas,

To connect the mainland with island Lanka,

Through the repetition of his Name, however, the ocean of mundane existence itself dried up, let the wise bear this in mind,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

His Name

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord of Raghus conferred immortality only on faithful servants like Sabari and the Jatayu,

While His name has delivered innumerable wretches, the tale of its virtues is well known in the Vedas,

As is well known to all, Sri Rama extended His protection to two devotees only, Sugreeva and Vibhishan,

His name, on the other hand, has showered its grace on numerous humble souls,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,

Jai Sri Ram,
For the sake of sage Vishvamitra Sri Rama wrought the destruction of Suketu's daughter Tadaka, with her army and Son Subahu,

In his own person Sri Rama, broke the bow of Shiva,

While the very glory of his name dispel the fear of Rebirth,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please  

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
By fondly repeating His Name, on the other hand,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

The glory of the name

Jai sri Ram,
The glory of the name is thus infinitely greater than that of the absolute,

And suffering calamities himself, brought relief to the pious,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

fire which is latent in wood

Jai Sri Ram,
Friends should not take this as a bold assertion on the part of this servant,

I record my mind's own conviction, partiality and liking,

The tow aspects of Brahma should be recognized as akin to fire,

The one that absolute represent the fire which is latent in wood, while other qualified divinity corresponds to that which is externally visible,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

greater than both

Jai Sri Ram,
There are two aspects of God,

The one unqualified and the other qualified,

Both these aspects are unspeakable, unfathomable, without beginning and without parallel,

To my mind, greater than both is the Name that has established its rule over both by its might,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please  

nectarine lake

Jai Sri Ram,
Of these the enlightened devotee is specially dear to the lord,

The Glory of Name is supreme in all the four ages and all the four Vedas,

Particularly in the Kali age, in which there is no other mean of salvation,

Even those who are free from all desires and absorbed in the joy of devotion to sri Rama have thrown their heart as fish into the nectarine lake of supreme affection for the name,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Hare Rama

The Lord

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord appear in persons at the very mention of His name,

Name and form are the tow attributes of God,

It is presumptuous on one's part to declare as to which is superior or inferior,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

The Name

Jai Sri Ram,
The Name and the object named,

Though similar in significance,

And allied as master and servant one to another,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

In ancient Literature

Jai sri Ram,
In ancient literature it is highlighted that how Lord Vishnu assumed the form of a gigantic tortoise,

In order to support mount Mandara and prevent it from sinking while it was being rotated by gods and demons in the attempt to churn the ocean of milk to attain nectar,

Again they are like bees for the beautiful lotus in the shape of the devotees's mind and are the very like Hari that Krishna and Haladara that Balarama, for Yashoda, in the shape of the tongue,

The two letters Ra and Ma forming part of the name of Raghuvara, the chief of Raghu', crown all the letters of the alphabet, the one spreading like an umbrella and the other resting as a crest jewel,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

for the good of the world

Jai sri Ram,

And are supporters of the globe like the divine tortoise and serpent god Sesa,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Delightful

Jai Sri Ram,
They are most delightful to utter.

Hear and remember and are dear as Rama and Laxmana to Tulsidas,

When treated separately, the tow letters lose their harmony, are differently pronounced, bear diverse meaning in the form of seed letters and as such yield different results,

Whereas they are naturally allied even as Brahma-the cosmic spirit, and Jiva the individual spirit, good brothers like the divine sages Nara and Narayana, they are sustainer of the universe and redeemers of the devotees in particular,

May Lord Bless all

Thanks please 

hereafter

Jai Sri Ram,
Rama-राम, both the letter-sound are sweet and attractive,

They are the two eyes, as it were, of the alphabet and the very life of the devotee,

Easy to remember and delightful to one and all,

They bring gains here and provide sustenance hereafter,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

joined her Lord in the dinner

Jai Sri Ram,
Once upon a time, Bhagwan Shankara invited his consort to join his dinner, Goddess Gauri, however declined on the ground,

That she had not yet recited the Vishnu Sahastranama, Which she must before,

Bhagwan Shankara asked her to repeat the name of Rama instead,

As a single utterance of the name was as good as reciting other names of the Lord, Parvati did accordingly and forthwith joined her Lord in the dinner,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

Before the advent

Jai Sri Ram,
Valmiki was not just saint poet in his earlier life and was known in the name of Ramakara,

Seven seers , who once fell a victim to his depredation, awakened him to the reprehensible nature of his conduct and instructed him in the holy name Rama,

Completely immersed in sin he was, however, unable to utter the word, the seers therefore, asked him to repeat the name in the reverse order,

In this way he was eventually able to utter the name correctly and in course of time become so fond of repeating it that ultimately turned out to be a pious sage and related the story of Sri Rama in the fine verse even before the advent,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please

It only once

Jai sri Ram,
It only once, noticing such partiality of her heart for the name,

Hara made the lady, who was the ornament of her,

The ornament of his own person, made her apart of his own being by assigning to her the left half of his body,

Shiva knows full well the power of the name, due to which deadly poison served the purpose of nectar to him,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

The Great Spell

Jai Sri Ram,
It is great spell which lord Maheshsvera mutters and which, when imparted by him at Kashi, leads to emancipation,

Its glory is known to Lord Ganesha,, who is worshiper before all others as a concession to the name,

The poet, is acquainted with glory of the name, inasmuch as he attained to purity by repeating it in the reverse order,

Hearing the verdict of Lord Shiva that the name is as good as a thousand other name of God, Goddess Bhavani dined with her consort after uttering it,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Peerless

Jai Sri Ram

Jai sri Ram,
Of Sri Rama's brothers, i bow, first of all, to the feet of Bharata,

Whose self discipline and religious austerity beggar description and whose mind thirsts for the lotus feet of sri Rama like a bee and never leaves their side,
