He said, “If you chant this mantra, you will attain all perfection; liberation from birth and death. Whoever chants this mantra will attain all perfection. It is so powerful but it is a very hidden secret.” So Ramanuja Acarya received the mantra and subsequently, he went onto the main square near the temple. Standing near the gate o
