Ram

Ram - or Rama - is a Hindu avatar of Vishnu - his seventh incarnation. He appears in the Hindu epic Ramayana - the story of Ram - and is one of the most beloved avatars in Hinduism.

The word Ram means to 'stop, stand still, rest, rejoice, be pleased.' It alone can be and is a mantra onto itself. It is a symbol of daily worship, and by chanting this mantra we reconnect with the essence of who we truly are - the atman.

A simple practice

Repeat 'Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram...' 108 times.

Neem Karoli Baba - Maharaj Ji - chanting Ram.
