The glory of the name Rama | Secret of Ram Nam Japa - The Journey from Vaikri to Pashyanti

When we chant Ram Nam, the sound of “Ram Ram Ram” is heard clearly in the beginning. But as the speed of chanting increases, this sound changes to “Mara Mara Mara” and then finally to “Rm Rm Rm”. Let us try to understand this process in depth.

From Vaikri Vak to Madhyama Vak

Vakri Vak: When we chant Ram Nam and hear the word “Ram Ram” clearly, it is called Vaikri Vak. This is the state where the sound is heard by the outer ears and it is clearly pronounced.

Madhyama Vak: When we increase the speed of Ram Nam Japa, the sound of “Ram Ram” changes to “Mara Mara”. This means that now the chanting of Ram Nam is not being heard by the outer ears, but inside our mind. This state is called Madhyama Vak, where the sound is at the level of the mind and only we can understand it.

From Madhyama Vak to Pashyanti Vak

Pashyanti Vak: When we increase the speed of our chanting further, the sound of "Ram Ram" becomes more subtle and transforms into "Rm Rm Rm". Pashyanti Vak is the state where the sound reaches even below the mind, to the level of the soul. Here "Rm" is a pure vibration, with no special meaning, just a pure sound or vibration.

The Glory of Pashyanti Vak

Pashyanti Vak is considered to be the true state of sound. When the chanting of Ram naam reaches Pashyanti Vak, it remains only a vibration. In this state, the chanting of Ram naam reaches deep inside us and vibrates at the level of the soul. This is why it is said "Ram naam satya hai".

Chanting the name of Ram is not just the pronunciation of words, but a deep spiritual practice that takes us on a journey from external sound to internal pure vibration. This process helps us understand that the name of Ram is not just a word, but it is an eternal truth and pure energy.

Thus, when we chant “Ram Ram Ram” and it transforms into “Rm Rm Rm”, it is a sign that we are reaching the purest state of sound. This is the state where the pure vibration of the name of Ram vibrates us at the soul level and makes us feel united with God. This is why the importance of “Ram Naam Satya Hai” increases even more.
