Lord Shiva says to mother Parvati:-
raama raameti raameti rame raame manorame
sahastra-naam taatulyam raama naama varaanane

It means
O fair-faced Parvati! I enjoy saying raama raama.
Uttering but once the name 'Rama' is equal to the
uttering of any other 'name' of God, a thousand times .

If any one wants he can download whole Ramraksha stotra by anuradha padwal uploaded by our member nidhiz1 from here- http://www.2shared.com/file/3078233/dc340752/RaamRaksha.html

There are two mantras in the whole world which r 'TARRAKA-MANTRA'.These r
1)OM
2)RAMA
The syllable 'ra' comes from 8 lettered mantra of NARAYANA and 'ma'comes from 5 lettered mantra of SIVA.
RAMANTE (enjoy) is the root word for RAMA which was known by sage VASISHTA because he knew it was the mantra RAMA which takes u across the ocean of SAMSAARA
I shall post more information later

The syllable 'ra'comes from the eight-letteredmantraof Narayana
and the syllable
'ma' comes from the five letteredmantraof Siva.

Both are the life-giving letters (=
jiiva-aksharas) of the respective mantras;
because without them the two
mantras
become a curse.
Without these letters, the
mantra naraayanaaya
becomes
na ayanaaya
- meaning, not for good;
and
namas-sivaaya becomes

na sivaaya
- meaning, again, not for good.
Thus the word Rama combines in itself the life-giving letters
of the two most important
mantrasof the Hindu religion
.
The syllable '
ra
' the moment it comes out of the tongue
purifies you from all the sins by the very fact that
it comes from the
mantra of the protector, Naaraayana
.
On the other hand,
the syllable '
ma
' burns all the sins by the very fact that
it comes from the
mantra of Siva
, the destroyer.
This is therefore the King of all
mantras
,
the holy jewel of
mantras
,
as is rightly sung by Saint Thiagaraja,
who is one of the most famous recent historical examples of persons
who attained the
jivan-miukti
stage
- the released stage even while alive -
by the sheer repetition of the Rama name.
