Sri Rama Stotram Lyrics & Rama Mantra Meditation
In this sri rama stotram collection, I am giving some most popular slokas or verses for worshipping God "Sri Rama" who is an incarnation of Vishnu during Treta Yuga.
There is also one most powerful mantra of Rama (known as Sri Rama Rama Rameti mantra) that brings huge benefits for you. It is believed that Lord Shiva revealed this mantra to Parvati when she asked for a shorter version of Vishnu Sahasranamam.
It is given as the fourth lyric under each of the three language options below.

Sloka (4)-
This is actually a mantra having the full powers of Vishnu Sahasranamam.
This sloka was actually disclosed by Lord Shiva himself to his consort Parvati.
Parvati was too much alarmed about the ignorance and the agonies faced by people. When God imparted the Vishnu Sahasranamam as the only remedy for people to get rid of their worldly sins and troubles, Parvati got worried. She felt sorry for the layman who cannot recite those highly standard verses.
So, she asked her Lord Shiva to provide a simplified version of Vishnu Sahasranamam. Then, Shiva disclosed to her about the power of the word "Rama". He tells her that taking the name of "Rama" three times is equal to the recitation of the whole text of Vishnu Sahasranamam.
So, here goes the meaning of this powerful mantra.
Shri Rama, Rama, Raameti = Rama, Rama, and Rama in this manner taking the name 3 times;
ramE = to play or enjoy; raamE = beautiful play with the word of Rama; manOramE = Hey Parvati; (who is good looking and appealing to the heart and soul), sahasranaama = 1000 names; tattulyam = equals to; raama Naama = Rama's name; varaananE = is gifted with.
So, the full essence of this 4th hymn"sri rama rama rameti sloka" is that taking the name of "Rama" three times is equal to and is empowered with the powers that can be obtained by way of reciting the entire 1000 names of Vishnu. Know this fact, You, O Good looking Parvati!

Lakshmi Stotram | Lakshmi Puja Lyrics With Meanings in English
Goddess Lakshmi is the consort of Lord Vishnu. She presides over wealth, happiness, and prosperity.

So, the above are the slokas in the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, which can be recited in a melodious form also as Songs.
Lakshmi's worship can be beneficial in two ways.
The first advantage is, that she gets pleased more easily and grants your wishes.
The second one is, that if Lakshmi gets pleased, then Vishnu also gets pleased and grants His blessings abundantly.
The second one is, that if Lakshmi gets pleased, then Vishnu also gets pleased and grants His blessings abundantly.
You can do it in a very simple method without going through that elaborate worship mode practiced by many others. If you can sincerely worship her with these simple lyrics, they are enough to obtain her grace.
If you are interested in spending more time with the Goddess, you can perform the kumkuma archana reciting the 108 names of Her. Here is the link for 108 names of Sri Lakshmi.
