[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Sriman Narayaneeyam - meaning

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I have been a part of this group for just over two weeks and its a real delight

to read about THE LORD, every morning.

I have a query in my mind hope someone can clear it.

In one of the previous mails, people have mentioned about reading Bhagavatam. I

read Narayaneeyam daily. Is it neccessary to read Bhagavatam or is it enough

that we read Narayaneeyam. Is there any comparison between these two as I

understand that these two are referring to the same stories except for the fact

that Narayaneeyam is the shortened version of Bhagavatam.

Please clarify.

 

Regards,

Vikram

Dear Shri. Vikram,

 

As you correctly said Narayaneeyam and Bhagavatham speak of the

leelas of Lord Krishna. However, Narayaneeyam is NOT a shortened

version of Bhagavatham as many people feel (some may differ with me

on this). It is the Divine Gift bestowed on Narayana Battathri that

he has composed Narayaneeyam in a loss-less manner. If you read both,

you can find that Bhatathri would not have missed out anything from

Bhagavatham.

 

Should we read both is your another question: I am giving answer in

two parts.

 

1. Narayaneeyam is to be equally placed with Bhagavatham. Why I say

this - while composing Narayaneeyam, Sri Guruvayurappan agreed to

what Battathri said. Moreover He also enacted certain parts Himself

so that Battathri does not have any doubts on the incidents. At the

end of the work, while Battathri wrote 100th Dasaka, HE showed HIS

vision to him. Thus, Battathri's work was fully accepted by Sri

Krishna at all stages.

 

2. If you are asked whether you like left eye or right eye, what

would be your answer? Like this, Narayaneeyam and Bhagavatham are

like the eyes for a Krishna devotee. Neither of them could be spared

for another. I suggest you read both. If Krishna approaches you while

reading Narayaneeyam, if you read Bhagavatham also, He will approach

you much faster.

Dear Devotees:

 

I absolutely agree with Mr. Sridharan's interpretation of the

equality of " Bhagavatham " and the " Narayaneeyam " . In fact many have

equated the Narayaneeyam as being the spiritual essence of the

Bhagavatham, to quote Sri Jayram Sharma, the " essence of the

Narayaneeyam in the presence of the lord Guruvayoorappan " .

 

He goes on to say that the Bhagavatham is the 18,000 ripened fruits

that blossomed on the finely trimmed bountiful tree of the Vedas with

each of the four veda's for its branches. This vedic tree was planted

by Veda Vyasa. A parrot by the name " Suka " bit each of these 18,000

fruits and further sweetened them by injecting even more flavor into

each fruit in creating the Bhagavatham.

 

These ripened sweetened fruits became the Bhagavatham, until

Bhattathiri, plucked each of the 18,000 fruits and extracted the

juices and pulp from them and flavored the extract with the divine

flavor named Guruvayoorappan.

 

Hence " the essence of the Bhagavatham is the presence of the Lord

Guruvayoorappan "

 

Sri Krishnaaya Parabrahmane Namaha....
