Vyaktigat Vikas Spiritual · Sumiran

Five Names, five books — your whole family’s naam sadhana

Writing the Name is the oldest and simplest form of devotion. The hand writes, the eyes see, the mind repeats. Sumiran is five books — Ram, Radha, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya and Jai Mata Di — each in its own colour, with its own meaning, its own story and its own aarti.

Why not a plain notebook?

• ✔Five Names, five traditions — Ram, Radha, Shiva, Vishnu and Devi. One set for the whole family.
• ✔Big cells — comfortable for older hands.
• ✔The count is printed on every page — how many Names, how many malas so far.
• ✔The meaning of each Name, and its own story.
• ✔Begin with a sankalp page, end with a completion page.
• ✔In every book, the aarti or stuti of its deity.
• ✔Each book in its own colour — made to sit in your home temple.
• ✔How to write — when, how, with which pen, and what to do when the book is full.

The count is printed on every page

A page of the Ram book (handwriting shown as an example), and a page of Om Namah Shivaya.

Every page of the Ram and Radha books has 108 cells — one page, one mala. The Om Namah Shivaya and Jai Mata Di pages have 54 cells — half a mala. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is a long mantra, so its pages have 36 long cells. The foot of every page tells you how many you have written so far, and how many malas. You never have to count.

Before you write — meaning and story

Book 4: what Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya means, and the story of Dhruva (Bhagavata Purana, Skandha 4).

Knowing what the Name means helps the mind settle on it. Every book opens with the Name or mantra explained word by word, then its own story, with the scripture it comes from named. It closes with the aarti or stuti of its deity.

Aarti and how to write

Every book ends with the aarti or stuti of its deity — in Devanagari with the Roman spelling beside it, to sing after you write. And it begins with how to write: where to sit, when, with which pen, and what to do when the book is full.

From sankalp to completion

On the first page, write your sankalp — your name, the day you begin, malas a day, and for whom. On the last page, the completion page — when it was finished and the total written. A finished book is never thrown away: offer it at a temple, deposit it at a Ram Naam Bank, or keep it with respect in your puja corner.

How to write, every day
