Mūla-mantra is considered the most important mantra in the Śrīvaiśnava tradition. It is a mantra dedicated to Lord Nārāyaṇa and directly reaches the hearts of its practitioner. This eight syllabled mantra was taught to the legendary master Śrī Ramānujācārya in the 11th century by his teacher Goṣṭhipūrṇa. The mantra represents the surrendering of our ego and embracing the divine consciousness deep in our heart as our guiding principle.

Please enjoy it and listen to it about eight times in the morning, afternoon and evening, with an open heart.

oṁ namo nārāyaṇāya
