Digital Ramnaam book is a unique concept initiated by Dr. Aniruddha D. Joshi (Sadguru Shree Aniruddha) in 2005. The ‘Ramnaam book’ has 220 pages of which ‘Ram’ is to be written on the first 108 pages, followed by 28 pages each of “Shree Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram”, “Krishna”, “Dattaguru” and “Jai Jai Aniruddha Hari”. It is believed that anyone who writes Ramnaam on an Akrutibandh (figure) of Hanuman, their one Ramnaam will multifold into a thousand. The Ramnaam book is designed with this exact arrangement with a watermark of Shree Hanuman on which Ramnaam is to be written. With this app, you would be able to purchase and download a Ramnaam book, complete the mentioned mantras on the book and also submit the completed Ramnaam book to add to the deposit of books in your account in "Aniruddha's Universal Bank of Ramnaam".
