The Vasudeva-mantra of 12 syllables – Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya – is known as a Mukti Mantra because it grants release from Samsara for the one who recites it with devotion and faith. “Vasudeva” derives from Vas “live” for Vishnu lives in all things, and everything in Him. Namo Narayana is not a mantra. It is nam chanting. This is exactly required for the people of Kali yug. This great mantra is actually the real element i.e. Vibration of God Vishnu (our soul), resides in our heart.His devotion is to worship him or pray him through his element vibration.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya (listen) (in devanagari: ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय) is one of the most popular Hindumantras, and the most important mantra in Vaishnavism. It is called the Dwadasakshari Mantra or simply Dwadasakshari, meaning the 'twelve-syllable' mantra dedicated to Vishnu as Lord Krishna.[1][2] It has two traditions—Tantric and Puranic. In the Tantric Tradition, the Rishi of the Mantra is Prajapati; in the Puranic Tradition the Rishi is Narada. Both, however, say it is the Supreme Vishnu Mantra.
Sharada Tilak Tantram says:
'Dvadasharno mahamantrah pradhano Vaishnavagame'—The twelve lettered mantra is the chief among vaishnava mantras.
Similarly, this is the ultimate mantra in Shrimad Bhagavatam. This twelve syllable mantra[3] is known as a Mukti (liberation) mantra and a spiritual formula for attaining freedom.[4] The mantra can also be found in the Vishnu Purana.

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'.[8]
