About this mantra

The eight-syllable mantra of Narayana, the supreme form of Vishnu, and among the best known of all Vaishnava invocations. It is a bare salutation rather than a narrative hymn, repeated in japa on a mala, offered in daily worship, and called upon in moments of fear or need; tradition holds that it grants refuge, inner purity and steadiness of mind.
