We are all aware of and are seriously affected by the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and Health Crisis. We at Devipuram have put together a recording of 108 recitations of the powerful Nama Trayi Mantra chanted by Pujya Guruji Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati.
अच्युताय नमः अनन्ताय नमः गोविन्दाय नमः
acyutāya namaḥ anantāya namaḥ govindāya namaḥ
While chanting, one should concentrate 12 digits above the eyebrow level. It eliminates great diseases, long-term troublesome diseases like cancer etc. The sequence of the names chanted is important.
This mantra is most effective in this time of pandemic and its most useful to chant or listen to this mantra throughout for relief.
The mere mention of this mantra dispels fear from our mind. At first glance it may seem like a simple mantra, but according to the Puranas, it is anything but that. We are familiar with the story of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk and Lord Siva drinking the Halahala (the vilest of all poisons). But what many people don’t know is that Lord Siva recited the Nama Trayi Mantra before doing so. Moreover, Sri Lalita Devi in Lalitopakhyana used this mantra to destroy the Maha Roga Astra (weapon), employed by Bhandasura to create great diseases. Such is the power of the Mantra.
Episode from Lalitopkahyāna:
Below is the description from Lalitopakhyāna [ch. 29] describing an episode from the great battle between Lalitā and her main adversary Bhaṇḍāsura where a demon discharges a Mahārogas [great disease astra] and Lalitā answers it with the Nāmatrayāstra:
69. The Dānava discharged the missile of Mahārogas (great diseases) among the armies of Śaktis. Thereupon pulmonary consumption and thousands of other diseases began to ravage.
70. In order to achieve their eradication and prevention, Lalitā, the Great Goddess, discharged the great missile of the great Mantra of the three names (of Lord Viṣṇu).
71. Acyuta, Ananta and Govinda rose up from the missile. By their Huṁkāra alone they burned those diseases and gave (relief and) delight, (to the Śaktis).
72. They bowed down to Maheśānī. They were employed (by her) to suppress the sickness of her devotees in all the three worlds. They went to their own region.
