Om Namo Bhagawate Vasudevay

"Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay" means I bow to Lord Vasudeva or Lord Krishna who is able to liberate true souls and achieve Salvation from the cycle of birth and death. (Krishna) will deliver you from all sins (sinful reactions), do not despair. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 verse 66. Lord Krishna is present in everyone’s heart, all pervading, omnipresent, when you are chanting this mantra you are seeking Lord Krishna who is present within you, so it is not difficult to understand your heart. Prahlaad Maharaj worshiped lord by chanting this mantra, Sage Narada became his Guru and blessed him with the Mantra “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay”. Narada Muni told him to remember strongly about Bhagwan Krishna while chanting the mantra.

The mantra’ Om nama Bhagavate Vasudevay’ Is the ‘Diksha mantra’ of Dhruva. It is for silent Japa in the mind. If you read the story of Dhruva from Shrimad Bhagabwat Mahapuran, then you will be able to understand it better. The stages of sadhana is given nicely there. The mantra is not suppose to give you joy. It is supposed to prepare your mind for the ultimate realization of truth. When Sri Bhagavan appeared, Dhruva offered his prayers. The prayer is known as ‘Dhruva Stuti’. A Sadhak can realize the truth by realizing the prayer only.

My Lord, I make my prostrations to You. You are the One who has entered into me as my inner soul making me speak. My speech has been dormant all along. You are the One who makes my ears hear, my hands work, my feet walk, my tactile senses to feel, my life to vibrate - all by your Glory, my Lord, who wields Infinite Power. (source Dhruva-stuti)

That should be considered the best summary of Adhyatmic Philosophy. Translation into English is never perfect. One should contemplate upon the original In Sanskrit. He had been taught by the Sage, “God indeed is to be worshipped all the time with all ones feelings without a care”. “Sarvada Sarvabhaavena Nishchintaihi Bhagavaaneva Bhajaneeyaha” – Narad Sutra-No.79. That is not the meaning of Bhagavan standing by one. For instance, see what the Pandavas went through. See what the life of Sudama was before he became wealthy. Was not the Lord standing by Sudama and the Pandavas for their entire life?

Bhagavan is always standing with us as Dharma. Dharma is that which causes happiness to all in the long run. When you stick with Dharma, Bhagavan stands for you. When you go with adharma, Bhagavan stands against you. This is simply because Bhagavan is impartial.Saying names of the Lord is Dharma. So Bhagavan stands with you for that reason.The person who is atheist or half heart in bhakti always utter such words and ask such questions. To know its meaning the deep gyan and study are must. Due to which self realisation happens. Here I say it in short.. When one utter a mantra from true heart- bhakti bhaav. His mind start getting pure due to real divine gyan flow in him. Thus mindset and thinking changes that leads to good karma.. Eventually it all becomes good in life.

Now. . Nobody can even prove that why and how we human take birth and die.. Where do we come from and go to? To know who Shri Krishna is and what he said , one has to do the true bhakti that gives self realisation about all the truth. In that course sadhak comes to know abt all such gyan that is divine.. He even comes to know what Shri Krishna said to do and what not to do. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay (? ??? ????? ?????????) is known as a Mukti (Liberation) mantra.
