Nama Japam or Nama Sankeertanam is the ''japa'' (repetition) or ''Sankirtana'' of ''nama'' (name) of the Almighty. The devotee chooses ''Ishta-deva'' or ''Ishta devata'' (Sanskrit ', literally "cherished divinity" from ''iṣṭa'' "desired, liked, cherished" and ''devatā'' "godhead, divinity," or ''deva'' "deity") and picks up a name of the Ishta deva to repeatedly chant the name vocally or in the mind any time, anywhere. Devotees can form a group and do sankeertanam or singing together of name of the Almighty. Bhishma considered chanting of the ''Vishnu sahasranama'' the best and easiest of all dharmas, or the means to attain relief from all bondage.〔("Thousand Names of the Supreme" )〕 Adi Sankaracharya, the Advaita enlightened master, in verse 27 of his hymn, Bhaja Govindam,〔(Bhaja Govindam: kamakoti.org )〕 said that the Gita and Vishnu sahasranama should be chanted and the form of the Lord of Lakshmi-Narayana should always be meditated on. He also said that the Sahasranama bestowed all noble virtues on those who chanted it. The Almighty has mentioned in Srimad Bhagawad Gita, that He resides in the hearts of those who chant and sing His namas. ==See also== * Annamacharya sankeertana * Ram Nam * Bangla Kirtan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nama sankeerthanam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
