Namavali
A namavali is a litany of the sacred names of a deity, each offered with Om and namah — salutation. Every name is a meditation in itself, describing one quality, deed or form of the divine. The lists of 32 and 108 names are recited during archana, a flower or a pinch of kumkum offered with each name. Here every single name appears with its literal Hindi and English meaning.
