Ideal Direction To Chant Ram Namavali

The ideal direction to chant Rama Namavali is the East. This direction is suitable to please Lord Rama. Devotees even believe that it brings good fortune and prosperity. Moreover, the Sun rises in the East, making the experience more auspicious.

So, grab a yoga mat and find a comfortable eastern space. Take a deep breath and attract the positive vibrations of this side with each Ram god name.

Ideal Time To Chant Ram Namavali

The ideal time to chant the 108 Ram god name is the Brahma Muhurta. This duration starts 1.5 hours before sunrise, i.e. between 3.30 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. In Hinduism, this time is considered most auspicious. Follow this strictly on a Tuesday.

Moreover, to properly chant Ram names, you need a very quiet place. This duration is usually the calmest time of the day, as the world is often half asleep.

Ideal Beads To Chant Ram Namavali

The Tulsi bead is the best when worshipping Lord Ram through the chanting of his sacred names. The Japa mala made of Tulsi beads is believed to attract positive thoughts and pleases Shri Ram.

Keep in mind that you need to soak the Tulsi mala in coconut water before exposing it to diya or incense sticks. This will prevent it from breaking and won’t disturb the process.

Ideal Setting/Atmosphere To Chant Ram Namavali

Find a comfortable place and sit in a relaxed position. Make sure there is no noise in the area so that you can chant each Lord Ram god name with more focus. Next, light an incense stick or diya in front of Lord Ram’s idol and start chanting.

However, the most important thing is to put honest efforts into chanting Ram names. Make sure you understand the meaning of each word that you pronounce.
