If you utter Rama ....then.... Sanskrit sloka - HH.Bharati teertha Mahaswamigal


The Jagadguru pointed out our implicit faith in Dharma is demonstrated by the fact that though  five thousand years have passed since the time of the Mahabharata, and eons have passed since the time  of Sri Rama, we only name our children after Sri Rama and Dharmaraja. No child is named Ravana or Duryodhana  as they are Adharmikas. We do not wish to even utter their names. The greatness of the name of Sri Rama is  highlighted in a verse that when one opens the mouth to utter the syllable "ra", our sins are pushed out  through the mouth, while they are stopped from reentering when we utter the next syllabe "ma" –       राशब्दोच्चाराणादेव मुखान्निर्यान्ति पातकाः ।   पुनः प्रवेशभीत्यात्र मकारस्तु कवाटवत् ॥
