The 5E’s of ASKGANESHA “Experience, Excellence, Entrusted, Ease of use and Evidence”Įxperience: Askganesha has a very experienced team which have been serving people for more than 30 years. I was reading the Narayana Upanishad recently and wanted to write about it here.Our Mission: Divine Blessings for Everyone This upanishad is from the Krishna Yajur Veda. It speaks of the greatness of Narayana and also of the glory of the ashtakshara mantra Om Namo Narayanaya. I will share the main points mentioned in this upanishad and include a link (see below) to the Sanskrit slokas with English translation. Narayana is the creator, the maintainer and the dissolver of all creation. All creation emerges from Narayana by His will, remains in Him and then dissolves back into Him in accordance with His will.Īll the demigods, humans and other living beings, the soul, mind, senses, air, water, fire, earth and space emerge from Narayana. The Narayana upanishad talks about the greatness of the ashtakshara Narayana resides in the heart of all beings.Īshtakshara mantra of Narayana: Om Namo Narayanaya He is the origin, the middle and the end of all things. When recited, it gives health, long life, prosperity and attainment of Vaikuntha (the abode of Vishnu, supreme consciousness) The Narayana upanishad says the following about the ashtakshara mantra: Unfortunately this mantra is incorrectly written in many places including some temples, as Om Namo Narayana - missing the last syllable (eight syllabled) mantra of Lord Vishnu - Om Namo Narayanaya. Recitation of this mantra grants liberation from the cycle of birth and death. One who chants this mantra at noon becomes free of the five great sins One who recites this mantra in the morning becomes free of sins committed at night. One who recites this mantra attains oneness with Narayana One who chants this mantra acquires the merit of studying all the Vedas One who recites this at night becomes free of sins committed during the day. My Guru Sivananda says that the recitation of a mantra creates the form of the deity associated with it. He says recitation of Om Namo Narayanaya creates the form of Narayana or Vishnu in the higher planes. My Guru says that all people are free to chant the Om Namo Prolonged recitation of this mantra according to him, grants the darshan or vision of Lord Narayana. There is absolutely no restrictionīased on caste, gender, race or anything else. It is sad that some spiritual traditions restrict women and certain castes from chanting this mantra. The great sage Ramanuja climbed on top of a temple tower and loudly proclaimed this mantra to all, regardless of caste, creed or gender. Sadly some of the followers of this great liberal Guru now contradict his teaching and say that women and Hari-jans cannot chant this mantra. This is the result of the terrible ignorance of this kali yuga. Once again, all great Gurus who attained God praised this mantra and said it can be chanted by anybody and will grant liberation to all.Īlso, just to mention, every mantra has six parts that are described as follows as per my Guru Sivananda:ġ. Rishi who first 'saw' the mantra (mantras are 'seen' in meditation, not created). The Rishi of the ashtakshara mantra of Vishnu is the rishi Narayana (one of the twin rishis Nara-Narayana).Ģ. Chandas or metre- the intonation in which the mantra is chanted. The metre of the ashtakshara mantra is Gayatri.ģ. Devata, deity of the mantra: the deity of ashtakshara is MahaVishnu or NarayanaĤ. Beeja, seed syllable or essence of the mantraĥ. Shakti- the shakti or power of the deity/mantraĦ.
