    This painting accompanying the evocative chant of Rama Rama Ram enlivened one of my favorite bedtime stories, which my mother used to tell me. Lord Rama looks on with complete trust upon his great devotee Shri Hanuman, who is engaged in the momentous task of building a stone bridge across the turbulent ocean almost overnight.

     

    Shri Hanuman has discovered the method for making the seemingly impossible task easeful—he chants and writes the name of Ram on each boulder, and they become light and float on the ocean, to be gathered to make the bridge to Lanka.

     

    Then there is the little squirrel who wants to help in the project. He gathers tiny pebbles and adds them to the boulders. Shri Rama lovingly picks up this keen creature and caresses it, leaving behind his finger marks on its back. The mighty Hanuman and the little squirrel are both important in assisting Shri Rama in his mission.

     

    There is so much tenderness expressed in the painting, which demonstrates the power hidden in chanting the Lord’s name.

    When I hear the voices of Gurumayi and the children in this beautiful chant, I feel so light inside and I experience the purity that flows so naturally in the chant. Listening to it leads me to a deeper silence inside my being.

    Reading how the chant Rama Rama Ram was created and composed by Gurumayi made my experience of listening to it and chanting it so full of that beneficial virtue, appreciation. With gratitude flowing through my mind and heart, I chanted along with the audio clip eleven times. As I chanted, the sweetness of the children’s voices and the love resonating in Gurumayi’s voice washed through me. I appreciated the composition and raga so much. I felt like I was being led through the darkness into the light, like Lord Rama’s own journey. 
     
    As I continued to follow the progression of the chant, I felt my energy rise from the base of my being to the very top. At this point I felt infused with light. What a generous gift to us all that we can so readily be reminded of the presence of light through this beautiful chant!
     
    I offer my heartfelt gratitude to beloved Gurumayi.

    Today I had a beautiful experience while playing this chant and listening to the music, the voices, and the words. After a few minutes, I joined in myself, and found myself chanting for more than an hour. At one point, my body felt totally weightless. I felt I was in the ocean of devotion, where I could feel the presence of Gurumayi, Baba, and Bade Baba.

    While listening to this beautiful chanting, I prayed for the world, “May everyone be happy and healthy, loved and protected by our Shri Guru’s grace. And may good triumph over evil.”

    Shubh Ram Navami!
