In the word Rama, there are three letters. They are ‘Ra,’ ‘aa’ and ‘ma.’ These three components can be described as Amrita Bija and Agni Bija. In these three letters are also contained the Surya and Chandra, the sun and the moon. The letter ‘Ra’ is the letter which can be connected with the sun. The letter ‘aa’ can be connected with the moon and ‘ma’ with
fire. The letter ‘Ra’ which we have connected with the sun, has got the potency by which to shed light and remove all ignorance. ‘Aa’ which has been connected with the moon, removes your agitation and gives peace. ‘ma’ which is connected with fire, burns out all your sins. This one name Rama will thus remove, in one stroke, all your sins, the agitations in your mind and your ignorance. (SSB 1977, pp. 7-8)
