It is a well known fact that the Lord and his Nama are one and the same.  Rendering various Avatars in various Yugas, the Lord has taken up the avatar of "NAMA" in this Kali.  The Lord has never abandoned a person who has uttered his name even once; that one utterance can turn the most wayward and immoral person into a Mahatma.

Chanting Bhagawan Nama, Hearing the Nama and contemplating about the Nama are all one and the same.  It is on this premise that the Sri Rama Bank is founded.  The writing of Bhagawan Nama is a formula to unify the thought, speech and body of every individual towards Bhagawan Nama.

Chanting of the Bhagawan Nama does not have any distinction or disability for people belonging to any caste, religion, male, female, enuch, elderly, youth, rich, poor, clean, unclean, isolation due to birth or death of dear ones, and in any country, any period, any direction.

Sri Rama Nama Bank endeavours to encourage the writting of the Bhagawan Nama, collecting the Namas, safeguarding them and consecrating them for worship and Darshan; taking the collected Bhagawan Namas (in a format easy for Darshan) on Yatra to even the remotest corners of this great land.

Starting on 02.04.1995 and within a short span, upto 31.01.2001, Sri Rama Nama Bank has collected 1,150 crores of Bhagawan Nama and installed in 6 holy places as Darsana Prathishtai.
