First, thank you very much for maintaining a blog on Bhakthi.
Now, I see many mistakes in the way Nama Ramayana is posted on this site. For example, it starts with Suddha Brahma Paratpara Ram. But it is printed as Sukhta Brahma, which does not make much sense. If you're interested, please visit http://greenmesg.org/mantras_slokas/sri_rama-nama_ramayana.php, where Nama Ramayana is published along with word by word meaning. They too have a couple of mistakes, which they are in the process of correcting. Best Regards.
