Those who chant the name of Rama will never be defeated
“Your strength and valour are invincible. Your power never fails. Men who are devoted to you never fail. O god! If men faithfully chant about you as the ancient Purushottama, it is certain that they will never be vanquished.”
- 6 (105), Yuddha kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, Critical edition.
Rama Nama is equal to Vishnu Sahasranama
“O you beautiful one, O you charming one, (recite) ‘Rama, Rama, Rama’. The thousand names are equal to that.”
- Chapter 71, Uttara Khanda, Padma Purana.
Rama Nama is the best among all the names of Lord Vishnu
“O best brahmana, names of Visnu are superior to (the names of) all (other) gods. The knowers of Brahman have declared Rama’s name to be the best among them. O brahmana, the couple of letters, viz. Rama, is superior to all magical formulas, by just uttering which a sinner goes to the highest position. Siva alone and none else knows the efficacy of Rama’s name (which is) the worship of all deities.”
- Chapter 15, Kriyayogasara-Khanda, Padma Purana.
Rama Nama destroys all obstacles, ends quarrels, fear and grants victory
All the defects causing obstacles and all the quarrels causing death cease to exist and get dissolved only through the name of Rama. There is no doubt in this. What is called Rama dwells in all the living beings immobile as well as mobile, in the form of the immanent soul. The Lord of all Mantras, i.e. Rama, destroys fear and ailments. It grants victory in battle and gets every task accomplished.
- Chapter 256, Nagara Khanda, Skanda Purana.
Rama Nama grants the same results as chanting the hymns of the Vedas
O dear one, that fruit which one who recites the hymns of all Vedas, gets is obtained crorefold by Rama’s name only.
- Chapter 254, Uttara Khanda, Padma Purana.
Rama nama represents para Brahman itself and the world is dependent on Rama nama
The word ‘Rama’ on which yogis devote themselves is immeasurable and forever joyful and indicates Para Brahman itself. The body has been ascribed to Para Brahman which is holy, without any second, which does not have any blemishes and which is bodiless, so that the worshippers are shown the path. Similar to the whole banyan tree existing in the seed of the banyan tree, the entire world exists in the seed “Rama”.
- Rama Tapaniya Upanishad.
