திருமங்கையாழ்வார்

பேசுமிந்திருநாமமெட்டெழுத்தும் சொல்லிநின்று, பின்னரும்,

பேசுவார்த்தம்மையுய்யவாங்கிப் பிறப்பறுக்கும் பிரானிடம்,

வாசமாமலர்நாறுவார் பொழில்சூழ்தருமுலகுக்கெல்லாம்,

தேசமாய்த்திகழும்மலை திருவேங்கடமடைநெஞ்சமே.

Those who recite the eight-syllable Mantra (OmNamoNarayanaya), over and over again,- He elevates and rids them of their birth.

He resides in fragrant blossoming flowers which is the beacon for the entire world, in Tiruvenkatam, - thitherward, O Heart!

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Thus the Name Rama contains both Narayana and Nama Sivaaya.

 

In spite of having the Divine Name 'Narayana', which can free people from all sins, and the mouth to Chant the Divine Name, people still fall in the hell by not chanting it! What a wonder!!!

 

He who meditates on the immutable Lord Narayana, even for moment, attains salvation. How easy should be, then, for those who are wholly devoted to Him.

 

Knowing through revelations, if we chart Narayana and his many other names, will not our worship secure for us a place by his side

 

I have discovered a word which gives good for ever. It is the divine name Narayana.

 

Essence of the Vedas and all the holy scriptures is "Repeat the name of Narayana." Without the remembrance of Hari, all other practices, such as rituals and austerities, are only futile exertions.
