Om bhagwate vasudevay namah

OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA MANTRA The Greatness of the Mantra ‘OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA ’ is one of the highly sacred Mantras of our land. This hymn is dedicated to Vasudeva or Vasudeva Krishna, a very important Avatar of Lord Vishnu, the supreme God of protection. This is a very powerful invocation taken with respect in sacred texts like Vishnu Purana, which is one of the Mahapuranas that speaks about the greatness of Vishnu and his Avatars. The efficacy of this mantra is such that this can provide spiritual guidance for one to attain the ultimate freedom from samsara, the eternal cycle of birth and death. Hence, this twelve-lettered mantra is hailed variously as the prime among the Vishnu Mantras, the ultimate one and also as the hymn of liberation. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Vasudeva Krishna Krishna is regarded as perhaps the greatest of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, who takes upon himself the responsibility of safeguarding the lives of the subjects, and descends on earth whenever the need arises, for ensuring a peaceful and honorable existence for them. Many were the roles that Krishna played during his lifetime on earth, as he stood towering there as a symbol of love, mercy, knowledge, power, wisdom and the highest consciousness. He remains as the central character of the stupendous epic Mahabharatha, while the sacred Bhagavata Purana is dedicated almost entirely to his divines sports and exploits. However, Krishna is not merely a mythological figure but is a hi...

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay (Sanskrit: ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय) is one of the most popular Hindu mantras, central to the tradition of Vaishnavism. Known as the Dwadasakshari or ‘twelve-syllable’ mantra, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the incarnation of Krishna. According to the Tantric tradition, the Rishi (seer or sage) who originated this mantra is Prajapati, but in the Puranic Tradition the Rishi is Narada. Regardless of this difference, both traditions agree that Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay is the supreme Vishnu mantra. Found in the ancient Hindu text, Vishnu Purana, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay can be translated as “I bow to Lord Vasudeva (Lord Krishna)”. However, this mantra is recited as much for the benefits of the sacred sound vibrations as for any specific meaning. This mantra is understood to be a moksha or mukti (liberation) mantra, recited as a way to achieve spiritual freedom from samsara, or the recurring cycle of death and reincarnation. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay and Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya are generally used interchangeably. Due to the nature and multiple meanings of Sanskrit words, translations of Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay vary, but all indicate praise for the supreme god. It is considered a maha or ‘great’ mantra. In addition to its use in Vaishnavism, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay is popular in the Kripalu tradition. Some Kripalu practitioners interpret the meaning as “I bow down to the divine light within,” thereby usin...

om — O my Lord; namaḥ — I offer my respectful obeisances; bhagavate — unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead; vāsudevāya — unto the Supreme Lord, Vāsudeva; mantreṇa — by this hymn, or mantra; anena — this; devasya — of the Lord; kuryāt — one should do; dravyamayīm — physical; budhaḥ — one who is learned; saparyām — worship by the prescribed method; vividhaiḥ — with varieties; dravyaiḥ — paraphernalia; deśa — according to country; kāla — time; vibhāga- vit — one who knows the divisions. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. This is the twelve-syllable mantra for worshiping Lord Kṛṣṇa. One should install the physical forms of the Lord, and with the chanting of the mantra one should offer flowers and fruits and other varieties of foodstuffs exactly according to the rules and regulations prescribed by authorities. But this should be done in consideration of place, time, and attendant conveniences and inconveniences. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya is known as the dvādaśākṣara-mantra. This mantra is chanted by Vaiṣṇava devotees, and it begins with praṇava, or oṁkāra. There is an injunction that those who are not brāhmaṇas cannot pronounce the praṇava mantra. But Dhruva Mahārāja was born a kṣatriya. He at once admitted before Nārada Muni that as a kṣatriya he was unable to accept Nārada’s instruction of renunciation and mental equilibrium, which are the concern of a brāhmaṇa. Still, although not a brāhmaṇa but a kṣatriya, Dhruva was allowed, on the authority of Nārada, to pronounce the pr...

Vishnu is the preserver and upholder of dharma in Hinduism. He is the supreme self in Vaishnavism and one of the three supreme deities (trimurti) in Hinduism. Vishnu in essence means the giver and provider of things. Along with Brahma, the creator and Shiva, the destroyer, Lord Vishnu is one of the three main male deities in Hinduism and they are together known as the TRIMURTI. Being a part of the Trinity, He has taken ten incarnations to save the planet and the good people from the hands of evils, demons or Asuras time and again. Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity, is the wife and active energy of Vishnu. When Lord Vishnu incarnated on the Earth as the avatars : Rama and Krishna, Lakshmi incarnated as his respective consorts : Sita (Rama’s wife) and Rukmini (Krishna’s wife). According to the extant Hindu texts and traditions, Lord Vishnu is considered to be resident in the direction of the “Makara Rashi” (the “Shravana Nakshatra”), which is about coincident with the Capricorn constellation. In some of the extant Puranas and Vaishnava traditions, Vishnu’s eye is considered to be situated at the infinitely distant Southern Celestial Pole. • Also known as Narayana (means the dweller of water and the dweller of human beings), Vasudeva and Hari, Lord Vishnu is usually depicted as a pale blue being having the dark complexion of water-filled clouds and having four arms. His incarnations of Rama and Krishna also have a similar depiction. • He holds a ‘pa...

This twelve-syllable mantra is used in many denominations of Hinduism, particularly in the tradition of Vaishnavism. Mantra Script Sanskrit ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय Mantra Script English Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Meaning “Om, I bow to Lord Vasudeva or Lord Krishna” The Significance of Om Namo Bhagavate This mantra is a mukti or liberation mantra and is practiced in order to gain freedom from samsara, the cycle of rebirth.

The “Indwelling One” refers to both Krishna and his father, Vasudeva. As it refers to both father and son, it can also be interpreted as a way to bring a spiritual person into a physical body as a child. How Mantras Work Mantras are powerful words or sounds that create positive energy. When you chant a mantra, you are vibrating the energy of the universe, which can help you achieve your desired outcome.

Pranava (the sound before 'namo') should not be chanted by anyone/anytime/anyplace.. it is to be respected greatly, that even when saying "do not chant , we are not supposed to say it out loud". Also, Narada imparted this mantra to Dhruva. Similarly a guru must impart to you. He will decide based on your character if you are fit to receive it. You may ask why? Because, whenever a Guru initiates a disciple into a mantra, he formally accepts the sins you will commit in future. Because, the effect of mantra will save you, so someone else has to take the blame for your deeds. Want to improve this post?
