Rama 118 Names Stotra Sadhana For Rama Navami

Sadhaks, as we all know the very auspicious moment of Rama Navami is coming up.
Now, Rama Navami is celebrated by Smarta on Saturday and by ISKCON on Sunday.
Here sadhaks, the one considered by ISKCON should be taken. This is because the navami that is obstructed by an ashtami is no auspicious, as it was last year.

Thus, we must consider Rama Navami on Sunday. Sadhaks, this year's chaitra month is very very auspicious. This is because it is a very rare month, where an Amavasya fell on a Friday, Navratri started on a Saturday.
Not only this, the same day that there is Rama Navami and in the same Muhurata of the birth of Lord Rama, there is also the maha-punyakaal of Mesha Sankranti, the time when Lord Surya enters his uccha sthaan.
Plus, there is a Ravi Pushya Yoga that day.
Then, later in the week, Chaitra Purnima is falling on a Friday.

Such a divine merger of so many great periods on a single day is extremely rare.
As far as I believe, such a divine merger is the first and last time a person would ever get to see in his life.
Hence sadhaks, one must not let this divine day go out of hands. Wasting such a divine day would be like wasting your whole human life.

Thus sadhaks, today, I will be sharing a very rare and powerful stotra of Lord Rama, which can fulfill all that there is, for a sadhak to desire.
Not before has stotra ever been shared on the internet.

On this very very great day, do not let this opportunity go out of hands. I have seen a lot of people making fun of Lord Rama thinking that Lord Rama upasana is just about moksha. Remember sadhaks that every sorrow a person is facing is due to his sins only. No god ever punishes a person who is punya, he only punishes those who commit sins.
Secondly, Lord Rama was a king. Thus, he can make you too like one, in health, wealth, power and kindness.

The upasna of Lord Rama is like using an arrow, it may take a little time for you to stabilize the arrow and bring it in the perfect position, but once it is shot, there is nothing that can stop it.

Sadhaks, Lord Rama is one such god where you will never ever get a no. No matter what you ask. Do not believe the fools who look down upon Rama/Krishna worship. They are better away. Lord Rama is Ajay. Nobody can interfere with the power and protection of Lord Rama.


After taking permission from Lord Rama, start the recitation of this stotra. Recite it at least 21 times daily. Do not chant anything else. There is no need for anything else.

Light a pure ghee diya, few incense sticks or dhoop, offer yellow flowers, gandh, naivedya of sweets and recite the stotra  21 times at dusk daily. If possible, wear yellow clothes as well.

Chant it atleast 21 times daily to see miracles happening.
A lot of people nowadays want stotras and mantras to show results from 1st day itself. Sadhaks, only the mantras of bhoot, pret and pisach show effects from the first day, not of Gods.
Even Hanuman Chalisa takes 2 weeks to show its results.

Everything requires effort. It takes time to cut our bad karmas and improve your positive aura. Mantras and stotras are not magic neither will they ever be. Success only comes to those who work hard and are patient.

For those who will just be starting Rama Upasana, they need to keep this in mind.

At first sadhaks, you may not anything at all. Seeing mental images of God in a meditative state, seeing him smiling - all these are the things that are experienced the most once the mantra energy starts getting instilled in you.
But in Rama upasna, it may happen that you may feel absolutely nothing at all. There may be no joyous feelings, no internal change at all. Especially if you are reciting 21 times daily.
If you recite 54-108 times, you may start getting experiences a lot quickly than others.

As I said, you may not experience absolutely anything at all. But if say that you are reciting this stotra for 30 days, then, for the first 20 days nothing will happen. You will feel as if you are repeating mantras like a parrot. From the 21st day, you will start seeing images and Lord Rama smiling.
But even that won't be a lot.
However, on the 28th day, huge miracles will start happening.
Very very soon and very very quickly and in very huge quantities, those changes will start happening which you never ever imagined.
In just 3 days, you will achieve all the things, that you desired since the past 27 days.
And after that, there will be no looking back.
Sadhaks, whatever I have mentioned above is from sadhaks who had honest experiences like these.
Lord Rama is upasna is far far greater than you can imagine.
And as for waiting, if you want quick results, you can take the aashray of ittar yonis for quick results.
It is true that Lord Rama upasna takes more time, but once you start getting results, there is no stopping.

I said this before and I am saying it again, in Rama upasna, there is no such thing as a No. It is impossible that you could ever get a No from him for anything, especially if its a worldly desire.
He automatically builds great politeness, honesty, kindness, pleasing nature, fearlessness, strength, and such great qualities.
He starts to become like Lord Rama himself.



The vidhi is simple and has been shared by me previously. Sit facing North on a Kush aasan, do guru and panchdev pujan, Hanuman and Rama family pujan and start the recitation of the stotra after taking a sankalp.


The stotra is Shri Rama Ashtadash-shat naam stotra, or the 118 names stotra of Lord Rama.

The stotra is very very divine and powerful. By reciting this stotra sadhak gets rid of all the sins that may be spread over 1 crore kalpas.

By reciting this stotra, fast currents of water become stable, enemies become friends, kings become like slaves, fire becomes gentle, all ghosts remain favourable and fickle lakshmi becomes stable, all the planets become favourable and all difficulties and dangers are destroyed.

The vaishnav sadhak who recites this stotra with devotion attracts all the 3 worlds.
Whatever he thinks of, in his heart, the same gets fulfilled by kirtan of this stotra.

By reciting stotra, even doing a sin doesnt incur it.

By reciting this stotra, whatever benefit one could achieve, by  reciting all the vedas, going to all tirth and doing all kinds of tapa, 1 crore times more punya, is achieved by recitation of this stotra.
By reciting this stotra in various auspicious periods like sankranti, abhijit muhurat, akshay tritiya,etc. One gains unlimited punya from it and he gets to live for 1100 crore kalpas in vaikunth.
By reciting this stotra, sadhak gets the sayujya of Lord Rama.
He becomes invincible. Every body starts respecting him like an authoritive figure.
He becomes very very pleasing to look at.
He develops great politeness, kindness, manners, personality and starts becoming like Lord Rama in qualities.

Hope that all sadhaks make use of this precious moment and start doing rama upasna.
As mentioned by me, it may happen that you won't have any experiences, but you must keep going.
Because this is when lord rama is testing you to see if you have patience or not.

The major problem a lot of people have is that they want things to happen their way and at the time they want.
But sadhaks, I am saying this again and again, Lord Rama is one such god who can change a situation in a flash. You need to have faith that whatever god is doing, he is doing it for a reason.
Lord Rama upasana is only for those who believe in him.


Wishing all a very prosperous and blessed Rama Navami in advance.
