The 108 Names of Sri Bhagavan Ramana are part of the Ashtottara Shatanama, a traditional Sanskrit prayer that venerates the qualities and divine attributes of a deity. In this case, it is dedicated to Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the most revered spiritual figures of the 20th century, known for his teachings on self-inquiry (Atma Vichara) and his guidance in realizing the true nature of the self.

The 108 Names are a way for devotees to meditate on the various divine attributes of Ramana Maharshi and seek his blessings. Each name represents a specific quality or aspect of his spiritual being.
