I do Rama-Nama.
If someone here doesn't know what it is Rama-Nama I will explain it now:it means to recite/chant continually the word Rama.
Others call it Ram-Nam and recit Ram
I prefer to recite Rama.
There are no restrictions and rules for such mantra.
It may be recited even in the rest room!
If someone recite Rama-Nama 960.000.000 times,he/she will have the darshan(vision) of Lord Rama.
The most important mantra in Sri Vaishnavism is Om Namo Narayanaya
There are two Sri Vaishnava sects:Vadakalai and Tenkalai.
Vadakalai doesn't allow to recite the whole mantra to shudras and women.It is allowed only Namo Narayana.
Tenkalai allow to women and shudras to recite the whole mantra Om Namo Narayanaya.
Regards,
Orlando.
