Description

Discover the timeless beauty of Narayaneeyam, a sacred Sanskrit text by Melpathur Nārāyana Bhaṭṭatiri, a 16th-century devotee and scholar. This masterful work condenses the Srimad Bhagavatam—a revered Hindu scripture celebrating Lord Vishnu’s divine incarnations—into 1036 exquisite shlokas (verses). More than a poetic summary, Narayaneeyam is a spiritual journey, its carefully crafted syllables designed to channel prāna (vital energy), purifying and uplifting those who recite or reflect on it with devotion. Composed as a hymn to Śrī Guruvāyūrappan (Lord Krishna), the text miraculously healed its author from a paralytic illness, earning its reputation as a divine elixir of solace and bliss.

This rendition brings Narayaneeyam to life for modern readers, presenting all 1036 shlokas in Devanagari script, phonetic transliteration, poetic English translation, and clear prose. Whether you’re a devotee, scholar, or seeker of wisdom, this book invites you to immerse yourself in the profound tales of Lord Narayana, experiencing the transformative power of devotion.
