To aid this, we have provided Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar's Rama Vaara Nama Japa Vithi, the Siddha technique for meditating on the name of Sri Rama revealed by Sathguru Venkataraman in a public lecture on April 10, 1984.
Sri Rama is an incarnation of divine love. His name is so charged with the power of His love for humankind that it can transform our animal passions into a sublime love for God and thus unite us with the Divine.
This two syllabled mantra is called a thaaraka mantra. This simple divine name, which is so easy to meditate on, is a protection mantra and has the pre-eminent position of being referred to as a star amongst mantras.
The syllable raa was picked from the great eight syllabled Narayana mantra, Om Na mo Naa raa ya naa ya and the syllable ma was picked from the great five syllabled Siva mantra, Na ma si vaa ya. Thus Rama mantra combines the power of the Namasivaya mantra and the Om Namo Narayanaya maha mantra.
Thus the Rama
mantra represents the perfect merger of Siva and Narayana. Hence the pre-eminent position of the Rama mantra amongst mantras.
In Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar's scheme, there's a special Rama mantra for each day of the week.
Vaara - day of the week
Nama - name
Japa - meditation/chanting
Vithi - procedure
So this is the special Siddha procedure for daily meditation and chanting of Sri Rama's divine name mantra.
These mantras were first revealed to the world at large by Sathguru Venkataraman in a public lecture on April 10, 1984. You can listen to the Sathguru's voice as he revealed these mantras in 1984 by watching the clip here.
The name of Rama is a divine guide on the road to spiritual perfection. But on the way, it also bestows material blessings on the aspirant. Thus the merciful Lord Rama takes care of the material needs of aspirants while molding them into spiritually perfect beings.
In this mantra, we also honor Lord Siva who protected the moon from decay thus symbolizing protection of the mind and the intellect.
Meditating on this mantra ensures proper functioning of one's mind and intellect. It transforms the human intellect into a divine intellect that can perceive God.
It is known as the Rama Raksha Maha Mantra. Raksha means protection and maha means great. So this is the great mantra that ensures Sri Rama's protection for the devotee. More Rama protection mantras below.
[More protection mantras: Ganesh protection mantra, Sarabeswara protection mantra]
Hanuman is permanently immersed in meditation on this mantra.
The protective power of this mantra is such that if a woman meditates on it regularly, she will be cured of any stomach and uterine problems that she may be suffering from. This is a special blessing for women.
This mantra bestows a special blessing on men. If a man meditates on this mantra 1008 times on Wednesdays, his wife will not covet other men. Lord Rama, the perfect husband, has granted this blessing for men.
If you ever felt that your life has deficiencies of any kind, meditate on this mantra on Fridays. Your deficiencies will disappear and your life will become picture perfect.
Moreover, just like Mother Seetha stepped into the fire and came out unscathed, this mantra can save you from fire mishaps.
Furthermore, Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar gives a special blessing for women. If a woman meditates on this mantra 1008 times on Fridays, her husband will not covet other women. There are many women who are saddened by their husbands desiring other women. But suffer no more. Follow Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar's prescription and enjoy the blessings.
One of Hanumaan's names is Sundara. In fact, this is His mother's favorite name for Him. Calling upon Hanumaan as Sundara will bestow immeasurable blessings on the aspirant.
Hanuman, the great master of Rama bakthi (love for Rama), will teach us how to be devotees of Rama and personally guide us on the path to Rama.
If you meditate on this mantra on Saturdays, there will be no deficiencies in your life.
Chanting this mantra can get rid of Shani doshas - afflictions due to Saturn (Shaniswara) - said Sathguru Venkataraman in the course of his lecture on April 10, 1984. The Sathguru taught us numerous secrets of Shaniswara worship, but this simple mantra for Saturday may well be one of the easiest solutions given by him for addressing Saturn afflictions. So to please Lord Saturn, chant this mantra regularly with humility, sincrity and devotion towards Saniswara, Hanuman and Lord Rama.
This is the daily worship of Rama specified by Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar in Rama Vaara Nama Japa Vithi, the rules for meditating on Lord Rama's divine name. Those who follow this technique of Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar without fail will certainly reach Sri Rama. But wait! There's more!

Lord Rama and the Kodanda bow are a matchless combination of courage and valour. The figure of Lord Rama wielding the Kodanda bow is matchless in spiritual splendour. An aspirant gets many blessings by invoking Lord Kodhanda Rama using this "Sri Ram Jaya Ram Kodanda Ram" mantra.
First among these blessings is Lord Rama's protection. In this modern world of rampant crime, safety is a concern. So who can offer perfect protection? Only Lord Kódhanda Rama. Call upon Him with this special mantra and He will protect you wherever you are, especially when you are travelling alone through lonesome, eerie places. Remember this the next time you feel your safety is in question. Lord Kódhanda Rama ensures the safety of His devotees. More Rama protection mantras below.
[More protection mantras: Ganesh protection mantra, Sarabeswara protection mantra]
What else can this mantra do for you? Plenty. For example, if you are wronged, how can you get the justice that you deserve? If you are blamed for something you did not do, how can you win your good name back? Meditate on this mantra and you will get what is your due.
Why is this mantra so powerful? Because Sri Kódhanda Rama is the wish fulfiller of humankind. He satisfies your desires, both material and spiritual, because He is the Lord of both the material and spiritual worlds. Pray to Him constantly for guidance on the spiritual path and your progress is certain.
Men and women of the world, meditate on the name of Rama as taught by Maha Guru Sri Agasthiar and you will not only attain material happiness but also everlasting spiritual wisdom, peace and joy. Let's resolve to meditate on Sri Rama's divine name a minimum of ten thousand times on Sri Rama Navami day and thenceforth.

As you may know, Maha Guru Agasthiar was a Guru to Lord Shri Rama Himself. From the position of a Guru, he taught Lord Rama the great Aditya Hridaya Maha Mantra on the eve of the Lord's ultimate battle with the demon Ravana. Thus who better than Maha Guru Agasthiar and his Siddha Lineage to teach us how to worship Lord Ramachandra!
In this pooja procedure, there are five mantras. Each mantra should be chanted 101 times. After each time, a full body namaskar (prostration) should be offered at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Rama, Mother Sita and Lord Hanuman.
5 mantras X 101 times = 505 chants (and 505 namaskars).
Women do not have to do a full body namaskar. They can just kneel down and touch their foreheads to the ground. Men should do a full body namaskar where the entire length of the body touches the ground and the hands are held together in front at full stretch. This full body namaskar signifies total surrender (saranagati) to the Divine Grace of Lord Shri Ram, Mother Seetha and Lord Hanuman. It is an important part of these "Rama Nama Namaskara Mantras."
This is a very powerful worship procedure. Serious Rama devotees should offer this worship to Lord Shri Rama daily. This special daily worship procedure results in remarkable spiritual uplift, if done with sincerity, devotion and an attitude of surrender (saranagati). If you cannot do it daily, at least do it on weekends and on special Rama worship days.

ஒரு தட்டில் லட்டுவும், ஜிலேபியும், மைசூர்பாகும் நமக்கு அளிக்கப்பட்டால், இவற்றில் ஒன்றைத்தான் எடுத்துக்கொள்வேன் என்றா சொல்லுவோம்? மூன்றையும் ஒரு கை பார்த்துவிடலாம் என்று தான் எண்ணுவோம்! அதே போல், 6-நிமிட ராமாயணத்தை ஓத வேண்டுமா, 10-நிமிட ராமாயணத்தை ஓத வேண்டுமா என்று எண்ணாமல், இரண்டையும் ஓதி, இரண்டு ராமாயணங்களையும் வாழ்க்கை முழுதும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும் அனுபவித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்க வேண்டும். இது தான் பிறவிப் பெரும் பயன். இது தான் லட்சுமண, பரத, சத்துருக்கன, ஆஞ்சநேயர் உடன் உறை சீதா ராமச்சந்திர மூர்த்தியின் அருளைப் பெறும் எளிய வழி.
