("Maharajah of
Mantras") Narayana is the name given to an eight-syllable mantra
associated with the deity Vishnu, in which the god is addressed as Narayana.
"Om Namo Narayana" ("Om, reverence to
Narayana") is the mantra.
The Shrivaishnava religious community, which arose in
southern India in the eleventh century, places special emphasis on this chant.
Ramanuja, the community's founder, is particularly
identified with the mantra.
The faithful chanting of this mantra is considered to
provide residency in Vaikuntha, Vishnu's celestial abode.
