Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Dear Sri Rajeev, thank you for the wonderful message on Srimad NARAYANEEYAM. I used to recite the NArayaneeyam from childhood, and to put it in simple words, it was a wonderful feeling, reading each one of the chapters, in widely differing " vrittams " . Every mood, be it the prema (rasakreeda - starting with kesa paasa dhrutha), roudra (narasimhavatharam - Sthambhe Ghattayatho hiranyakashipor), the adbhutha (Kuchelopakhyanam - Kuchelanaamna bhavathah satheerthyatham) and many more..find presence in it, in the form of exquisite verses. Each one of the verse has deep meanings, and has to be savoured slowly and repeatedly. And the gain for us? - deep, deep spiritual enrichment, peace of mind and removal of mental and physical ailments. I offer my pranaam to Melpattur Narayana Bhattatiri the embodiment of Bhakti as well as Jnanam. regards, Hari ______________________ 1. " NARAYANEEYAM " is Bhagavan Sri Krishna's Gift to His Bhakta .

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Dear Sri.Hariji, Radhe Krishna! Having very high appreciation of your interest in Narayaneeyam, I couldnt help requesting you to access our website www.narayaneeyam.com (if you have not already seen it!) wherein four chapters of the Bhaktaranjini commentary has been uploaded. As the website speaks for itself, I need not tell you any further. You are already a Narayana-bhakta and hence need no introduction. Love K.V. Gopalakrishna.
