Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hare Krishna, Please find attached the summarized translation of Narayaneeyam , the famous book on Lord Krishna . ( This file has been saved in group's FILE in the directory 'Narayaneeyam)'. The author of this great masterpiece, Narayaneeyam was Melpathur Narayana Bhattatiri, a Namboodiri Brahmin of Kerala born 442 years ago in AD 1560 in Kerala . He fell a victim to a severe attack of paralysis which made him a cripple . A "Bhajanam" in the Lord Krishna temple of Guruvayoor was considered as a sure cure for paralysis and so Bhattatiri went to Guruvayoor for 100 days of "Bhajanam". He wrote the famous hymn "Narayaneeyam" describing the Avatars of Krishna starting with "fish", i.e. Matsya Avatar. During the hundred days of his Bhajanam at the temple of Guruvayoor he summarized the entire Bhagavata Purana in 1034 verses at the rate of one Dasaka (canto) consisting generally of ten verses everyday . Each Dasaka ended with a prayer to Lord Krishna to cure him of his illness . On the hundredth day (27th of November 1587) he had a vision of Lord Krishna in the form of Venugopala . The 100th canto composed on that day gives a graphic description of this form of the Lord from the head to the foot. On that day Bhattatiri became completely cured of his disease . Sri-Krishnaya Namah!!! Krishnadaya Note-: The attachment is copy of an article. Mail is new and improved - Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
