Guest guest Posted July 6, 1997 Report Share Posted July 6, 1997 Dear Sri Jagannath : There are many manthrams for Sri Narasimha BhagavAn . One of the most frequently used one for initiation purposes by the AchAryAs of Ahobila Mutt is NrusimhAnushtup manthram . That is in anushtup metre as the name suggests and starts with , " Ugram veeram MahAvishNum jvalantham sarvathOmukham I Nrusimham bheeshaNam bhadram -----------------" The individual words of this Manthram is elaborated by Lord SivA in His manthra rAja padham . There does not seem to be any incorporation of this Manthram in the KamaseekAshtakm . There are however two verses of this Nrusimha SthOthram in Anushtubh Metre ( Slokam 1 and 2 ) . The verses of Sri Hayagreeva shtorthram and Sri GopAla Vimsathi and Garuda PanchAsath have the respective manthrams of these deities inn the above sthOthrams .

One interesting feature of the first line in the first Verse of the "kAmAsikAkshtakam" is that it is fully 16-syllabled i.e. a multiple of 8 ! "ashtAksharam" !!! Also if you look at the first part of the first line it reads : "srutinAm-uttaram bhAgham....." Now if you look closely at the above and split it into constituent syllables you will get 8 syllables as follows : sru + ti + nA + ut + ta + ram + bhA + gham = 8 syllables !! Further, if you take syllable # 3, #4 and #6 separately you get : nA + ut + ram If you look closely, the above 3 syllables have the phonetic elements A + U + ma The above are the elements of "pranava-shabdham" !!! And the "pranava-shabdham" we know prefaces the holy "ashtAkshara-mantram" !!! Swami Desikan's exquisite verses are deeply embedded with so many such covert symbolisms that it defies one's imagination !! adiyEn/dAsan, sudarshan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 1997 Report Share Posted July 10, 1997 Dear Sri Jagan, As you are aware the nrsimha anushtuba manthram is constituted out of 32 beejAksharams. This manthram has been one of the very important manthram for me, ever since I was initiated with this manthram by my mentor. There are some powerful slOkams out there on Lord Lakshmi Nrsimhan that are only known traditionally. These slOkams are passed on from one generation to the other among the nrsimha bAkthALs exclusively. One of such slOkams contain each of the 32 beejAksharam as its first aksharam for each of its 32 paragraphs. I will be glad to give this slokams to you Sri Jagan. Sri jagan, thanks for sharing your slOkam/manthram this morning in the net that was received from jeer. I donot know why, but i had the urge last week to give you the *nrsimha charaNAgathi manthrm*. This was initiated to me by mentor an year or so back. I was asked by my mentor to pass on the same to *some* qualified persons and also in particular to you. As you are aware my mentor is a nrsimha upAsakAL. When i mailed the cassette of instructions from jeer to you, I thought of adding this in it. However, I felt I must only pass it on to you when we meet in person next month. In the meantime for the benefit of nrsimha bhakthALS of this group I will list *some* of the slOkams that I have come acroos on Lord Nrsimha as follows. Each of the slOkam is sometime recited for seeking either some relief or some specific boon. 1. Sri nrsimha mahA manthram 2. Sri nrsimha dwAdhasanAma shthOhram 3. Sri nrsimha ashtAksharam 4. Sri nrsimha dwAdhrimsath beeja mAla sthOthram 5. Sri nrsimhak kavacham (delivered by Sri prahalAdhan himself) 6. Runa vimOchana nrsimha sthOthram 7. Sri nrsimhAshtOthra sathanAma sthOthram 8. SrinrsimhAshtOthra sathanAmAvaLi 9. Sri nrsimha navarathna mangaLa mAlikA It is advisable that these slokams are to be chanted only under the instructions of achAryAL or a guru or an upAsakAL. I trust this information will be useful to the nrsimha bhakthALs.
