*** AMRIT VAANI *** |
|
| Ramaamrit Pad Paawan Vaani,
Ram-Naam Dhun Sudhaa Samaani. Paawan-Paath Ram-Gun-Graam, Ram-Ram Jap Ram Hee Ram. . ...1. |
The Word--Shri Ram - is the
holiest Name, Sweeter than nectar is singing of Name ; Sacred the praises of Name, Shri Ram, Repeat Ram-Ram, the Name, Ram-Ram. |
| 'Ram-Naam' blesses the devotees with purity and immortality. The nectar-like holy name of Sri Ram ennobles and edifies and should be recited incessantly (without any pause.) ...1 | |
| Param Satya Param Vigyaan,
Jyoti-Swaroop Ram Bhagwaan. Parmaanand, Sarvashaktimaan, Ram Param Hai Ram Mahaan. ...2. |
The Highest Truth, Deepest Insight, The Lord Shri-Ram is Brightest Light ; Supreme Joy, Omni-potent, All, The Best of all, Greatest of all. |
| Sri Ram alone is Absolute Truth, Experiential Wisdom, Light, Bliss and Omnipotence. Perfect and Non-Dual, He is the Supreme Soul. ...2 | |
| Amrit Vaani Naam Uchaaran,
Ram-Ram Sukhsidhi-Kaaran. Amritvaani Amrit Sri Naam, Ram-Ram Mud Mangal-Dhaam. ...3. |
Immortal Word is the Word Ram-Ram, The Spring of Peace, the Fount of Charm ; The Eternal Breath, The Sweetest Psalm, Home of Blesings and Bliss, --Shri Ram. |
| Recitation of Sri Ram's holy name is nectarous (like nectar) and endows the devotees with success, glory, inner calm and bliss. ...3 | |
| Amritroop Ram-Gun Gaan,
Amrit-Kathan Ram Vyaakhyaan. Amrit-Vachan Ram Kee Charchaa, Sudhaa Sam Geet Ram Kee Archaa. ....4. |
The songs sung in His praise are
Sweet, For Him the voices raised are sweet, The words are sweet said in devotion, Like nectar is Shri-Ram's adoration. |
| Singing songs in praise of Sri Ram is most sacrosanct as is cherishing and remembering Him with devotion in any manner or form. ...4 | |
| Amrit Manan Ram Kaa Jaap,
Ram-Ram Prabhu Ram Alaap. Amrit Chintan Ram Kaa Dhyaan, Ram Shabd Men Shuchi Samaadhaan. ...5. |
Thinking, repeating name is sweet, To sing it in loud refrain is sweet ; To sit in silence, in mind's retreat, And listening there to Name is sweet. |
| Recitation of Sri Ram's holy name sanctifies everything - ‘dhyaan’, ‘saadhanaa’, meditation, contemplation and revelations (answers to the problems appearing during meditation). As the devotee recites 'Ram - Ram', the spiritual significance is felt keenly and subtly; while it is vocal chanting of the word, the Saadhak really meditates and reflects on the spirit. ...5 | |
| Amrit Rasnaa Wahee Kahaave,
Ram-Ram, Jahaan Naam Suhaave. Amrit Karm Naam Kamaaee, Ram-Ram Param Sukhdaaee. ....6. |
The tongue that tells the
Name-Ram-Ram, Is most melodious, full of charm ; Gather within the wealth of Name, Giver of highest joy is Name. |
| Blessed is the tongue that forever remembers 'Ram-Ram'. Indeed, the only significant wealth and righteous deed worth performing consists in constant and sustained recitation of 'Ram-Ram'. This surely bestows lasting inner happiness. ...6 | |
| Amrit Ram-Naam Jo Hee Dhyaave,
Amrit Pad So Hee Jan Paave. Ram-Naam Amrit-Ras Saar, Detaa Param Aanand Apaar. ....7. |
Whoever repeats the name so Sweet, His soul attains the Immortal Seat ; *Ram-Nam is sweetest World, behold ! Bestower of Highest Joy Un-told ! * The Name of God |
| One who contemplates and meditates on Sri Ram-Naam alone achieves salvation. The Supreme Soul is nectar-like and Ram-Naam is the essence of this nectar which fascinates, thrills, elevates and confers eternal bliss.[Amrit-Pad also refers to that state of immortality which is capable of bestowing itself on others]. ...7 | |
| Ram-Ram Jap He Manaa,
Amrit Vaani Maan. Ram-Naam Men Ram Ko, Sadaa Viraajit Jaan. ...8. |
Repeat, my mind,
Ram-Ram ! For that is Highest Name, And seated is ever Shri-Ram In Temple of this Name. |
| O Mind! Remember forever the holy words 'Ram-Ram' as the provider of salvation and immortality. Also, be certain that Lord Sri Ram is forever existent in His Name(Ram-Naam). ...8 | |
|
Ram-Naam Mud Mangalkaari, Vighna Hare Sab Paatak Haari. Ram-Naam Shubh-Shakun Mahaan, Swasti Shaanti Shivkar Kalyaan. ...9. |
The Name Shri-Ram brings bliss
within, Removes all ills and saves from sin ; The Name Shri-Ram is most auspicious, Welcome, peaceful, good and gracious. |
| Ram-Naam is a dispenser of bliss, well being and is a positive remedy for all troubles. An auspicious and great omen, Sri Ram-Naam showers peace, prosperity, benevolence and happiness. ...9 | |
| Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Vichaar,
Maanie Uttam Manglaachaar. Ram-Ram Man Mukh Se Gaanaa, Maano Madhur Manorath Paanaa. ...10. |
When comes Ram-Ram Shri-Ram in
thought, "Tis sigh, some good will soon be wrought ; Then sing Ram-Ram with heart and mind, You'll sure achieve, what you wish to find. |
| The
Beginning of thought-processes centred upon Sri Ram augurs well. Incessant
recitation of Sri Ram-Naam with feeling and devotion soon fructifies and
paves the way for God-realization.
‘Madhur Manorath’: God-realization. ...10 |
|
| Ram-Naam Jo Jan Man Laave,
Us Men Shubh Sabhi Bas Jaave. Jahaan Ho Ram-Naam Dhun-Naad, Bhaagen Wahaan Se Visham-Vishaad ....11. |
Who seats Ram-Ram within his mind, To him comes blessings of all kind ; The notes of name vibrates wherever, All woes and ills disappear therever. |
| Installing
Sri Ram-Naam in the inmost niche of the heart fills the devotee with
sublimity and higher spiritual 'wealth'. Happy tidings marked by good
fortune, peace and prosperity visit the place while the agents of gloom,
pain and doom depart from where Ram-Naam is uttered.
‘Visham-Vishaad’: The three constituents (’Gunas’) of 'Prakriti'- 'Sattva', 'Rajas' and 'Tamas' stand for happiness and goodness, pain and restlessness, and darkness, negativity and passivity respectively. He who is afflicted with ‘tamas’ gets entrapped in the vicious circle of passivity, apathy and inactivity that are difficult to overcome and defy all remedies. ...11 |
|
| Ram-Naam
Man-Tapt Bujhaave,
Sudhaa Ras Seench Shaanti Le Aave. Ram-Ram Japie Kar Bhaav. Suvidhaa Suvidhi Bane Banaav. ...12. |
For restless mind Ram-Ram is balm, 'Tis sweet as honey, brings peace and calm ; Repeat Ram-Ram, with zeal repeat, With ease, in time, your needs He'll meet. |
| Driving away mental agony, the Holy Ram-Naam soothes high-strung nerves and tranquillizes. Our only duty is to recite Ram-Ram with firm faith and devotion. The way to all round success and excellence is paved automatically and the devotee is helped to undertake higher spiritual pilgrimage in a propitious(auspicious) environment. ...12 | |
| Ram-Naam Simro Sadaa,
Atishaya Mangal Mool. Visham-Vikat Sankat Haran, Kaarak Sab Anukool. ...13. |
Repeat the
Name-Ram-Ram- Source of blessings un-told, Slayer of ill and evil, Giver of help mani-fold. |
|
O Saadhak! With keenness and complete faith, remember forever ‘Ram-Naam’ - the Provider of invaluable inner peace, comfort, happiness and equanimity, and the Victor who vanquishes agony, anguish and inauspiciousness. ‘Visham-Vikat-Sankat’: Onset of intolerable and terrible difficulties all at once. ...13 |
|
|
Japnaa Ram-Ram Hai Sukrit, Ram-Naam Hai Naashak Dushkrit. Simre Ram-Ram Hee Jo Jan, Uskaa Ho Shuchitar Tan-Man. ...14. |
Repeat the Name-'Tis
best of acts, The Name-Ram-Ram-all ills corrects ; Whoever repeats the Name Ram-Ram, His body and mind become pure and calm. |
| Devout recitation of Sri Ram's holy name is the most sacred act that ennobles, elevates and sanctifies, besides cleansing the inner dross (evil) by overwhelming the evil and the evil deeds of the devotee. ...14 | |
|
Jismen Ram-Naam Shubh Jaage, Us Ke Paap-Taap Sab Bhaage. Man Se Ram-Naam Jo Uchaare, Us Ke Bhaagen Bhram Bhaya Saare. ...15. |
When blessed Name awakes within, The mind is purged of pride and sin ; Whoever in joy chants name and sings, His doubts and fears at once take wings. |
|
One whose inner being gets aglow with the Holy Light of Ram Naam no longer suffers the pangs of suffering, adversity, doubt and fear. Anyone who remembers Ram-Naam with devotion, faith and reverence is not bothered by fear and doubt. ‘Taap’: Pain/adversity in the following forms:- 1. Physical and mental - fever, anger, worry, lust, bereavement etc. 2. Afflictions caused by external factors such as thief, scorpion, snake etc. 3. Natural - Earthquake, floods , drought etc. ‘Bhaya’: Fear of misfortune such as loss of life, property or prestige. ...15 |
|
| Jis Men Bas Jaaye Ram Sunaam,
Hove Vah Jan Poornkaam. Chit Men Ram-Ram Jo Simre, Nishchaya Bhav Saagar Se Tare. ...16. |
In whom the sacred name is nested In him Shri-Ram is manifested ; When Name Ram-Ram in mind appears, One swims ashore from sea of fears. |
| He has all his desires fulfilled who consecrates his inmost niche with Sri Ram's holy name. Passionate and ceaseless remembrance of Ram-Ram enables the devotee to attain eternal salvation from the mortal world. ...16 | |
| Ram-Simran Hove Sahaaee,
Ram-Simran Hai Sukhdaaee. Ram-Simran Sab Se Oonchaa, Ram Shakti Sukh Gyaan Samoochaa. ...17. |
Ram-Ram repeat, He helps, does
heal, Giver of health and wealth and weal ; Repeat Ram-Ram, highest of all, Giver of peace, wisdom and all. |
|
As the supreme religious practice, recitation of Sri Ram's holy name with devotion and dedication facilitates all round well being and positive attitude. Sri Ram’s constant remembrance is the Highest Act that blesses the devotee with strength, bliss and higher knowledge. ‘Simran’: Remembering Sri Ram - Sri Ram with utmost faith and keenness. ...17 |

Ram-Ram Hee Simar Man, Ram-Ram Sri Ram. Ram-Ram Sri Ram-Bhaj, Ram-Ram Hari-Naam. ...18. |
Repeat, Repeat, my
mind ! Ram-Ram Shri-Ram Ram-Ram. Sing, Sing, Most sacred song- Ram-Ram Shri-Ram Ram-Ram. |
|
O Mind! Remember forever Sri Ram's Holy name. He symbolizes God, the Purifier. Recite forever ‘Ram-Ram’ as the Name Itself embodies God. ‘Hari’: The Almighty God who overpowers and conquers all evils. ‘Bhaj’: (Ruminate) Remembering God's name in the same manner as the animals enjoy chewing the cud long after having eaten the fodder. Likewise, the devotee should be filled with ecstasy and pure bliss as he fondly and passionately remembers and recollects the majestic name of Shri Ram. ...18 |
|
|
Maat-Pitaa Baandhav Sut Daaraa, Dhan Jan Saajan Sakhaa Pyaaraa. Ant Kaal De Sake Naa Sahaaraa, Ram-Naam Teraa Taaran Haaraa. ...19. |
Mother, Father, Relations, Son,
Wife, Wealth, Power, Husband, Friend dear as life, At death, to help, no one will wend, Ram-nam alone will save at the End. |
| As the spirit within prepares to depart from the human body, all the worldly relations and familial bonds prove of no avail. 'Ram - Naam' alone accompanies the Spirit on its onward journey to God's abode and is Its saviour/protector. ...19 | |
| Simran Ram-Naam Hai Sangi,
Sakhaa Snehee Suhird Shubh Angi. Yug-Yug Kaa Hai Ram Sahelaa, Ram-Bhakt Nahin Rahe Akelaa. ...20. |
The Name, Ram-Ram, is all in all, So near and dear within your call ; From age to age His Light has shone, A devotee of Ram is never alone. |
| O Saadhak! Thy only associate, comrade, friend and well-wisher is Sri Ram's holy name that never forsakes and, indeed, has been with the devotees since the beginning of the universe. In fact, Sri Ram's devout devotee is never lonesome, as His blessings and protection are always available to him. ...20 | |
| Nirjan-Van Vipad Ho Ghor,
Nibirdh-Nishaa Tam Sab Or. Jot Jab Ram-Naam Kee Jage, Sankat Sarva Sahaj Se Bhage. ...21. |
In wilderness, in deep distress, When all around is death, darkness, As light of Name Ram-Ram is lit, Of own accord all sufferings quit. |
| Be it a desolate and forsaken jungle, an awesome dark night, seemingly endless tribulations and agonies - all these disappear instantly and of their own accord as soon as our inner being is aglow with the Holy Ram-Naam. ...21 | |
|
Baadhaa Bardhi Visham Jab Aave, Vair Virodh Vighna Bardh Jaave. Ram-Naam Japiye Sukh Daataa, Sachaa Saathi Jo Hitkar Traataa. ...22. |
When odds and ends obstruct way, Enemies abound, jealousies sway, In Name Ram-Ram seek rest abide, Comforter, companion, well-wisher, true guide. |
| The devotee should constantly remember and recite 'Ram- Naam' - the infallible (sure) remedy for enmity, hurdles, resistance or opposition as ‘Jaap’ of 'Ram-Naam ' alone proves to be a dependable friend, benefactor and protector. ...22 | |
| Man Jab Dhairya Ko Nahin Paave,
Kuchintaa Chitt Ko Choor Banaave. Ram-Naam Jape Chintaa Choorak, Chintaamani Chitt Chintan Poorak. ...23. |
When mind is ruffled and finds no
rest, With cares and fears it is oppressed, Then chant the name in Temple, --Shri-Ram, Where mind is cured of cares and qualms. |
|
When faced with acute anxiety, unsteadiness and worries , one should remember 'Ram-Naam' that instantly dissolves all the tensions and, instead, provides the desired blessings and gains. ‘Chintaamani’: An imaginary stone that fulfils all desires. ...23 |
|
| Shok Saagar Ho Umrdhaa Aataa,
Ati Dukh Men Man Ghabraataa. Bhajiye Ram-Ram Bahu Baar, Jan Kaa Kartaa Berdhaa Paar. ...24. |
When heart is sinking in sea of
sorrow, And mind troubled with thoughts of morrow, Hold fast your grip on Name's ore, And steer your ship safe to the shore. |
| In trying times of overwhelming grief and gloom, take to incessant(non-stop) recitation of 'Ram-Ram '. You will surely come out of the woods (out of danger). ...24 | |
| Kardhi Ghardhi Kathintar Kaal,
Kasht Kathor Ho Klesh Karaal. Ram-Ram Japiye Pratipaal, Sukh Daataa Prabhu Deendayaal. ...25. |
In time of trial, of severest
strain, In deep distress and piercing pain, Repeat Ram-Ram Shri-Ram Ram-Ram, Who saves, protects from suffering, harm. |
|
When hopeless calamities and seemingly insurmountable difficulties stare you in the face, you should remember and recite 'Ram-Ram'- the Compassionate Benefactor and Provider, every moment of the day. ‘Klesh’: These are listed as:- 1.'Avidyaa'(Ignorance),2.'Asmitaa'(Vanity),3.'Raag'(Attachment),4.'Dvesh'(Aversion, Envy),5.'Abhinivesh'(Obstinacy, Obsession). These are also called five Knots of Ignorance that are difficult to get rid off. ...25 |
|

Durjan Dukhrdhe Leven Gher. Japiye Ram-Naam Bin Der, Rakhiye Ram-Ram Shubh Ter. ...26. |
When darkest clouds gather around, When wicked are by, sorrows surround, Then lose no time but sing Ram-Ram, Keep ringing the holy rhyme Ram-Ram. |

| Ram-Naam Ho Sadaa Sahaayak,
Ram-Naam Sarva Sukhdaayak. Ram-Ram Prabhu Ram Kee Tek, Sharan Shaanti Aashraya Hai Ek. ...27. |

distress, The Name is giver of all happiness ; Court on the Name, Ram-Ram, my heart ! The only refuge, repose, resort ! |
| 'Ram-Naam' stands by us steadfastly through thick and thin, and helps, comforts, consoles, sustains and offers perfect refuge (shelter) and serenity like none else. ...27 | |
| Poonji Ram-Naam
Kee Paaiye,
Paatheya Saath Naam Le Jaaiye. Naashe Janm Maran Kaa Khatkaa, Rahe Ram Bhakt Nahin Atkaa. ...28. |
O Pilgirm on life's journey so
long, Take treasure of Name, Ram-Ram, -along, The chain of births and deaths cut short, Who lives Shri-Ram, he wanders not. |
| Treasure up the invaluable wealth of Ram-Naam, which acts as the guide for the Spirit on its ultimate journey towards salvation. The true 'Saadhak' is always under the constant protection and blessings of Sri Ram, and is never bound by the awesome chains of the Birth - Death cycle from which he gets liberated forever. ...28 | |
| Ram-Ram Sri Ram Hai,
Teen Lok Kaa Naath. Param-Purush Paawan Prabhu , Sadaa Kaa Sangi Saath. ...29. |
The Lord of Light, Shri-Ram, Is King of Three worlds wide, All-holy, Purifier Supreme, All-Time Companion, and Guide. |
|
Sri Ram is the Supreme Presiding-Deity(God) of all the three worlds(Universe). Himself being the Purest - the Sublimest Sanctifier, Sri Ram blesses His devotees by being with them forever. ‘Teen Lok’: The three worlds namely the physical world-characterized by mortality and ranging between the visible world and the invisible, abysmal and bottomless world beneath the earth; the space; and the heavens that cover and extend up to God’s Abode. ...29 |
|
| Yagya Tap Dhyaan Yog
Hee Tyaag,
Van Kuti Vaas Ati Vairaag. Ram-Naam Binaa Neeras Phok, Ram-Ram Jap Tariye Lok. ...30. |
Different disciplines, systems of
thought, Renunciations, forest resort -- Without Ram-nam are dust and dream, Repeat Ram-Ram and cross the Stream. |
|
In the absence of Ram - Naam, even the lofty practices like yagna, worship, meditation, renunciation and hermitage (life of hermits - sanyasins) lose all significance and meaning. In fact, salvation is possible only through ceaseless(endless) recitation and remembrance of 'Ram-Ram'. ‘Yagya’: Action aimed at others' well-being and self- upliftment (altruism). ‘Tap’: Self-imposed discomfort and denial of pleasures in the pursuit of spiritual attainments. ‘Dhyaan’: Withdrawal of mental attention from the world and its concentration on Sri Ram’s Holy name. ‘Tyaag’: Liberation from the physical passions and vices. 'Yagna ', 'Tapa' and ‘Daan’(offerings) are the acts that ennoble the devotees. ' Tyaag' also means ‘Daan’. It implies self-abnegation and renunciation of passions like pride , vanity and the craving (desire) for returns and worldly possessions. ‘Vairaagya’: To completely ignore the physical comforts and conveniences of this world and the life beyond. ...30 |
|
| Ram-Jaap Sab Sanyam
Saadhan,
Ram-Jaap Hai Karm Aaraadhan. Ram-Jaap Hai Param-Abhyaas, Simro Ram-Naam 'Sukh-Raas’. ...31. |
Self restraint, all self
dispassion, *RAM-Jap indeed is devoted action ; Ram-Jap is best of moral practices, Repeat Ram-Ram--giver of graces. * Repetition of Name |
|
'Ram-Jaap' by itself inherently and sufficiently implies and grants self - control as well as the spiritual wealth that really matters. So, remember the supremely sacred and Provider of Bliss 'Ram - Ram'!. ‘Sanyam’: Control is exercised and achieved by concentrating the attention on a fixed purpose (steadiness of mind ). ‘Abhyaas’: This is achieved through ceaseless and continuous recitation, remembrance and meditation of God’s name (Ram-Jaap and Dhyaan). ‘Aaraadhan’: Singing hymns and songs (Bhajans) to and in the glory of Sri Ram. ...31 |
|
|
Ram-Jaap Kahi Oonchi Karni, Baadhaa Vighna Bahu Dukh Harni. Ram-Ram Mahaa-Mantra Japnaa, Hai Suvrat Nem Tap Tapnaa. ...32. |
Ram-jap the noblest of all acts, Overcomes sufferings, removes defects ; Recite Ram-Ram--the holiest name, And walk the way of self-restrain. |
|
Higher and loftier than everything else is Ram-Jaap that overcomes all problems, hurdles, irritants and pains. Ram-Jaap is the most auspicious vow of devotion, meditation and spiritual practice. ‘Suvrat’: Recitation of Ram-Ram in every time, clime and condition. ...32 |
|
| Ram-Jaap Hai
Saral Samaadhi,
Hare Sab Aadhi Vyaadhi Upaadhi. Ridhi-Sidhi Aur Nav-Nidhaan, Daataa Ram Hai Sab Sukh-Khaan. ...33. |
'Tis the easiest Way to go
within, To Purge the self of fear, care, sin ; Of power and plenty, in full measure, Shri Ram is giver of Joy's treasure. |
|
‘Ram-Jaap’ is simple and uncomplicated, easy to practice and cures all ills and troubles - physical, mental and spiritual. ‘Ram-Jaap’ leads to success, strength, affluence and intuitive powers (spiritual and extra-sensory). ‘Ridhi-Sidhi’: Affluence, success. ...33 Contd... |
