The Name Rama has the triple power of destroying sins, conferring peace and dispelling ignorance.

Sri Rama's incarnation as a human being was for the purpose of promoting peace and happiness in the world. His Name is very significant. The three syllables 'R', 'A' and 'Ma' indicate the three causes for human birth, Papamu (sins one committed),Thapamu (troubles one experiences) and Ajnanamu(ignorance). ‘Ra’ represents the root letter for Fire (Agni), ‘Aa’ for Moon and ‘Ma’ for Sun. Agni destroys everything and reduces it to ashes. The letter ‘R’ is powerful to destroy all sins you have committed; The letter ‘Aa’ (symbolising the moon) has the powers of cooling the ‘fevers’ man suffers from and conferring peace on him; ‘Ma’ (Sun) dispels the darkness of ignorance and confers illumination of wisdom. Hence, the Name Rama has the triple power of destroying sins, conferring peace and dispelling ignorance. Chant the sweet name of Rama with a pure, unsullied heart, in a spirit of selfless devotion and redeem your lives by living up to Rama’s ideals.
