The word “Rama” literally means one who is divinely blissful and who gives joy to others, and one in whom the sages rejoice. It is said that the repetition of his name (Rama Nama) is the surest, fastest and easiest way to attain purity, peace, wisdom, understanding, joy, prosperity and ultimately liberation.  Bhagwan Rama Himself said, “Repetition of My name...
