About The Book

In a Sahasranama, the supreme is being worshipped as being embodied in a particular name and form. The 1000 attributes for adoration and contemplation cover the descriptions about the beauty of the body, ennobling qualities, the matchless love and the unlimited power of the Supreme.

For many centuries, two Sahasranama, one in praise of Goddess Lalitha written by Sage Agastya and the other then Vishnu, written by Sage Sanaka have been regularly chanted by the devout.

This book is a Sahasranama on the Supreme as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. It is a composition of Sri Jagadeeswara Sastri under the inspiration and strength received from Bhagavan Ramana himself. The purpose of this translation, commentary and the transliteration is to throw open the elevating enchantment of this work to those who do not know Sanskrit.

There is little doubt that the regular recitation of this Sahasranama will have the same potency. Time will clearly establish this. Those who recite these attributes, steadfastly in mood of surrender, would be free from diseases and sufferings caused by adverse circumstances. The mood of prayer while chanting these scared and powerful names establishes a relationship with the Supreme embodied as Bhagavan Ramana. Unlike other attachments this attachment to the name and form of Ramana, the Supreme, frees one from all binding bonds. As a result one gradually discovers one’s own natural bliss.

Sri Ramana Sahasranama is a part of daily worship at Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai and in may homes. Its sanctity is further enhanced because it focuses attention on the direct path to Self-Knowledge through self-enquiry revealed by Bhagavan Ramana.
