Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya (About this sound listen (in devanagari: ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय नमः) is a Hindu mantra. ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namah' is a mantra of Vishnu and Krishna both. It has two traditions—Tantric and Puranic. In Tantrik Tradition, the Rishi of the Mantra is Prajapati, in Puranic Tradition the Rishi is Narada. Both, however, say it is the Supreme Vishnu Mantra. Sharada Tilak Tantram, for example, says "Dvadasharno mahamantrah pradhano Vaishnavagame"—the twelve lettered mantra is the chief among vaishnava mantras. Similarly, this is the ultimate mantra in ShrimadBhagavatam, whose 12 Chapters are taken as extensions of the 12 Letters of this Mantra. This twelve syllable mantra is known as a Mukti (liberation) mantra and a spiritual formula for attaining freedom.This can be chanted like Gayatri Mantra. This is the principal mantra of the Vedic scripture "Srimad Bhagavatam". This mantra can also be found in Vishnu Purana.
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya means "prostration to Krishna" or "surrender to Krishna."Krishna himself asked his devotees to completely surrender to him:
“ सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।

अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥१८- ६६॥
Translation Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. [Gita 18/66]

Krishna also proclaimed "Everybody should recite "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" mantra daily whenever possible so that I will stand by them. I respond to the call of the heart immediately and invariably. See me in your duties. I am committed to those who are committed to their duties. Believe in putting faith in me and make me your own".Mantras are the sacred verses or sounds which are used by any individual for his inner & mental peace. Each and every mantra signifies a predominant deity and by enchanting the name of it, the person soul get enlightened.Mantras are maanasa yantras or tools to quieten the mind.
There are some common tools found in all belief systems. One must choose the mantra that is not in contradiction with what one truly and deeply believes in.
Then, there are specific mantras suitable for different individuals, this a whole differenr science.
Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaya is one of the universal mantras, but again, without faith, and full faith in it, the mantra shall yield no result.
So, i always advice people to use the tool in line with one's belief system
