271 Names of God

The Names of God have been called upon and worshiped from time immemorial. There can only be one Supreme Being, but certainly many ways to describe God and call upon God. Singing, repeating, incanting, meditating upon or even reading the Names of God with humility and devotion have the power to reconnect us with the Supreme Being.
