RAMA BRAHMA YOGAM

“Rama Brahma Yogam” is chanting of the mantra “Om Namo Rama Om”. Rama Brahma Yogam is a one week residential program (Saptaham). The speed at which the mantra is chanted varies each day to achieve purification on different levels. On the first day of the program, the mantra is chanted once per breath. On the second day, it’s chanted three times in one breath. On the third day, it’s chanted five times in one breath. And on the fourth day, it’s chanted seven times in one breath. From the fifth day to the seventh day the mantra is chanted in descending order of five times, three times, and one time respectively in a single breath.

By chanting the mantra in ascending and descending orders, first day – the etheric body (Pranamaya kosha), second day – the mind, emotions, and body, on the third day – the five elements (Pruthvi, Apas, Thejo, Vayu, Akash) of the body, on the fourth day – the Sapta Dathu (Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medha, Asthi, Majja, and Ojas) get purified. From the fifth to the seventh day all the purified components of the body are re-established.

Rama Brahma Yogam Saptaham is conducted every Friday to Thursday. The chanting of the mantra “Om Namo Rama Om” is accompanied by morning and evening Agnihotrams (the sacred fire ritual) along with the recitation of “Sri Apaduddharaka Stotram” and “Nama Ramayanam”.
