![]() It means literally: “Prostration to Bhagavan Vasudeva.” ‘Surrender to Sri Vasudeva’ is implied therein. ‘ Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya‘ is a mantra of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. Different mantras produce different vibrations and they invoke different devatas. ![]() When you chant a mantra correctly and systematically with proper intonation, there is immediately set up a vibration in the nervous system in such a manner that a harmony is established in the whole world. A mantra is the result of a vision of a seer and it is the concrete manifestation of the deity or devata through the world of language, which is made to manifest in the mantra.

Japa is the repetition of a mantra, which is a mysterious group of letters or phrases so connected with one another that when the mantra is chanted a peculiar sensation or vibration is generated in the entire system. ![]() Japa can be of two kinds: external verbal japa, as well as internal manasika japa, or mental japa. To give an instance, ‘ Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaya’ is a mantra. As a matter of fact, japa, according to Patanjali, is not merely a mechanical chanting of the Name, although chanting is also Japa, but it is tadartha bhavana or the contemplation on the meaning of the mantra.

Therefore, the term “Vasudevaya” can also refer to “the supreme divinity that exists in all lives.”īy elaborating on the mantra, one can say, “Oh Lord Krishna, son of Vasudeva, the God who resides in all beings, I bow down to you with all reverence and offer you my humble petitions.” A humble greeting is “Namo.” The ultimate deity, also referred to as God, is called “Bhagavate.” The term “Va(a)sudevaya” refers to Lord Krishna, who was born as Vasudeva’s son, and literally means “the son of Vasudeva.” Vasu is another name for “the one who is the life force of all beings,” and Devaya is another name for the All-Powerful. Om is regarded as Shabdha Brahman, the supreme principle of spoken sound, and is an eternal, global sound. The Lord’s greeting, “Om Namo BhagavateVasudevaya,” can also be translated as “I bow down to Vasudeva.” This is still profound in its meaning and importance, nevertheless. ![]() Krishna, however, is not just a mythical character he is also a historical being who existed in the flesh among the inhabitants of our country.

One of our country’s most revered mantras is “Om NamoBhagavateVasudevaya.” This song is devoted to Vasudeva, also known as Vasudeva Krishna, a revered avatar of Lord Vishnu, the all-powerful protector. ![]()
