Ayodhya- the palace of Lord Rama.
“Om Kleem Namo Bhagavathey Raamachandraaya sakalajana vashyak”
The mantra praises Lord Ram as a charismatic god who can promote peace and harmony in the universe.
This mantra contains the kleem beej sound which is a magnetic seed to attract success and happiness into the chanter’s life.
Another significant mantra to be chanted for protection from the Lord –
“Shri Rama Jaya Rama Kodhanda Rama”
Chanting this mantra removes all fears and promotes harmony. Kodanda is the weapon of Lord Rama- the bow
