Mantra 1
ओम् नमो नारायणाय
Om Namo Narayanaya
Meaning
Om - the primordial sound
Namo - salutations, I surrender
Narayanaya - to Narayana, the one who is the resting place of all beings and who dwells within all
I bow in complete surrender to Narayana. The eight syllables carry deep meaning: Om is the supreme, Nama means non-ego, and the remaining syllables represent the qualities and names of the supreme Lord Vishnu.
