Om namo narayanaya can therefore be understood as a reverent and respectful means of unifying individual and universal consciousness.Īnother interpretation of narayanaya comes from its Sanskrit roots nara, meaning “water” and anaya meaning “resting place” or “shelter.” Narayanaya may thus be representative of the Hindu god, Vishnu, whose resting place is water. Narayanaya has more complex roots and interpretations but is believed to be symbolic of Brahman or the inner self. Namo represents the nature of prakriti, and can be translated from Sanskrit as “to bow to” or “to pay homage to”. It is believed that this mantra revealed its significance and meaning to these Vedic seers through their penances, after which they shared it with seekers as a means of self-realization.Īccording to the Tarasara Upanishad, om is the divine sacred syllable that represents the nature of Atman, encompassing all universal energy and consciousness. If you like to follow the preachings of Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu and Srila Prabhupada, chant Hare Krishna.In the Sama Veda, om namo narayanaya is said to have been taught by Vedic seers to the seekers who came to them for wisdom. Have a regular system of chanting any single manthra as your daily routine. Whenever you like to chant, or, whenever you visit Vishnu temples/ SRI VAISHNAVA temples like Tirumala, Srirangam, etc, chant Om Namo Narayanaya. So, if you like to chant a manthra that has no restrictions, chant Hare Krishna Maha Manthra. However, for kaliyuga, Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu recommended a simple Hare Krishna Maha manthra for all without any restrictions.

So, though we are allowed to follow any one of four sampradhayas, it is advisable to follow any one at a time, and respect all other sampradhayas. If you follow both the sampradhayas at the same time, it may lead to confusion or incompletion of devotional practices. If you follow Gaudiya Vaishnavam, they advise to chant Hare Krishna Maha Manthra as advised by Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu. Similarly, if you like to follow SRI Sampradhaya, they advisse you to chant OM NAMO NARAYANAYA as advised by Sri Ramanujacharya. Can you learn in both the syllabus simultaneously? This is like studying in CBSE syllabus or STATE SYLLABUS. (Can our chanting give good status for deceased persons in our family? READ HERE!)Ī devotee is expected to follow any one sampradhaya at a time to avoid confusion. That is why, acharyas like Srila Prabhupada have given beautiful syllabus for practice by the devotees. So, within these few years, we have to qualify to go back to Krishna. Similarly, our life time is just 70-80 or 90 years. Because, it is difficult for everyone to complete entire contents of Physics or Chemistry within THREE YEARS.
If they fix no syllabus for B.Sc, no one can score hundred percent of marks. This is called the organized way of learning to qualify for Bachelor of Physics or Chemistry. Only a few hundred pages of contents/ topics are given in our syllabus. However, if you study the bachelor of Physics or Chemistry, all these thousands of pages are not given in syllabus. Thousands and thousands of pages of contents. We know that there are plenty of contents in physics or Chemistry. However, we are expected to follow a recommended syllabus. (What if my parents want me chanting manthras of other gods with Krishna? READ HERE!) Similarly, the names of Krishna are also uncountable. If you recite VISHNU SAHASRA NAMA, you will find thousand names of Krishna/ Vishnu.
