Rama Ashtotharam

Rama Ashtotharam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Rama  meaning  he who attracts  was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu who was born to  king Dasaratha and queen Kausalya of the Raghy dynasty    to exterminate a great Asura called  Ravana . He  lead a life  of perfect Dharma with fanatic allegiance  to truth  . His story is told  in the book Ramayana , which was perhaps the first epic written anywhere  in the world . His name  “Rama” is so powerful that Lord Shiva tells Parvathi   that  chanting his name is equivalent of reading the thousand names of Vishnu.  Also there  is a story in Mahabharatha  where a sage curses  his sons for advising  a king  who committed a sin to chant the name of Rama  three times because  according him  as soon as one chanting is done all sins  wouls fly away . His name is referred to as Tharaka Manthra (A chant  which grants you salvation)   and it is believed that  Lord Shiva tells it  in the ears of all those who die  in Benares.
    All over India there are several great temples dedicated  to Rama.)
