Namasthe- Njanappaana 54- Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana!

[Guest guest]

Dandavat pranams to all!!!

 

A few weeks ago I posted an image of Lord Krishna

coming to the aid of Gajendra that I was using in a project.

That project was to make a video using the now familiar

verses below:

 

Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana!

Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare!

Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava!

Sachidaananda! Narrayana! Hare!

 

After Savitriji began posting her translations of

the Njanappaana, one day I was listening to a CD

called Chinmayam Krishna, which is produced by

the Chinmaya Mission, and I recognized the song

as containing these verses along with a few others

to create a lovely medley. Since I was unable to find

any versions at that time on Youtube which had the

verses, I decided to attempt to make a video of

this song. Requesting forgiveness of any errors

I have made or any shortcomings in the video,

I offer it at His Lotus Feet, and to the group to

chant His Holy Names!!!

 

Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana!

Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare!

Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava!

Sachidaananda! Narrayana! Hare!

 

 

 

In His Service,

[Guruvayur] Namasthe- Njanappaana 54

 

 

Njanappaana 54

Viswanaathan pithaavu namukkellam

Viswadhaathri charaachara maathaavum

Aschanum punar ammayum undallo

Rakshicheeduvaanulla naalokkeyum

Lord of the Universe is our father and mother of the Universe is our mother.

(lines one and two). We have both father and mother to take care of us as

long as we live. (lines three and four).

Above lines (also) remind us the concept of " Vasudhaiva Kumtumbakam " . If we

consider the Universe as our home, Lord of the Universe (Guruvayurappan or

Lord Krishna or Vishnu Bhgavaan) is the father of all and Prakruthi Devi

through whom Bhgavaan created the world is the beloved Mother of all. Why

should we worry about anything when these Universal Parents who are capable

of bestowing all blessings are watching us for ever?. They are eternal

parents. We may discard this body and come back to earth with another body.

But they are always there immersed in taking care of our " yogakshemam " .

If we consider ourselves as members of the world family, then we will no

fight each other in the name of God, politics, power and money. Poonthaanam

wrote this because he experienced the joy of seeing everybody as his own

family members. We can see poet's attitude of complete surrender when he

says : " we have both Universal father and Universal mother to take care of

us as long as we live. Because of his intense devotion and attitude of

surrender, Bhgavaan came to him when he needed His help.

Once Poonthaanam started his journey to Guruvayur for that month's darshan

of the Lord. He started later than usual and started walking as fast as he

could to reach Guruvayur before dusk. On the way , he had to pass through a

forest and it was about to get dark; He had a small bag of essential things

and was walking fast. Suddenly a few robbers appeared from no where and

jumped on him and asked for his possessions. He pleaded and told them that

he had nothing except a few clothes in his bag and was going to Gurvayur.

But they would not leave him and wanted the thin golden ring on his finger

(which he used to count the namam he chanted) and what ever he was carrying

in his bag. Poonthaanam was sad and afraid that he would be delayed to reach

Guruvayur. He called Guruvayurappan at the top of his voice and chanted this

prayer from the bottom of his heart:

Ya thvara Draupadi thraane Ya thvara gajarakshane

Mayyaarthe karunaasindho! Sa thvara kva gathaa Hare!

 

Hare! how quick you came to protect Draupadi, how quick you came to protect

the elephant (from the crocodile), now in deep sorrow, I am calling you and

where did disappear your quickness (of action)?

He continued chanting Narayana naamam and suddenly they all heard the noise

of a horse's footsteps. In no time the minister of the then King of Cochi,

Mangaattacchan appeared and robbers ran for their life. Mangaattacchan

consoled Poonthaanam and accompanied him until he crossed the danger zone.

Poonthaanam was so moved by his timely help and to show his gratitude

presented the minister with his golden ring. He reached Guruvayur and it was

late and he could just pray only from outside of the temple. That night,

chief priest (melshaanthi) had a dream and in the dream Guruvayurappan told

him that when he removed " Nirmaalyam " in the morning he should look for a

golden ring on His ring- finger and he should give it to Poonthannam because

it belonged to Poonthaanam. Next morning Poonthanam came ot the temple for

nirmaalya darshanam and Melshaanthi gave this ring which was the same ring

he presented to Mangaattacchan the previous day. So who was Mangaattacchan?

Poonthaanam just wept and wept thinking of Bhagavaan's kindness. Then he

knew that Bhgavaan who is the father of all 'Charaacharam " or animate and

inanimate things, came and rescued him.

His words in the above lines are the direct result of his experience and so

he assures us that Bhgavaan will take care of us like a father and Bhgavathi

will take care of us like a mother. The only thing we need to do is to chant

His name and remember Him.

Let us chant Bhgavvan's divine names along with Shrri Poonthaanam and

millions of other devotees around the world:

Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana!

Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare!

Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava!

Sachidaananda! Narrayana! Hare!

I am glad you liked it Shreedeviji. It was a joy to work with the images. I found that I delved quite deeply into them in the

process of zooming in :-) And since I am new at that, I spent

an especially long time in them!!! And with the music too!!!

Now every time I see the words, I hear the melody too.

 

Hare Krishna!!!

Next morning Poonthanam came ot the temple for nirmaalya darshanam and Melshaanthi gave this ring which was the same ring he presented to Mangaattacchan the previous day. So who was Mangaattacchan? Poonthaanam just wept and wept thinking of Bhagavaan's kindness. Then he knew that Bhgavaan who is the father of all 'Charaacharam" or animate and inanimate things, came and rescued him.His words in the above lines are the direct result of his experience and so he assures us that Bhgavaan will take care of us like a father and Bhgavathi will take care of us like a mother. The only thing we need to do is to chant His name and remember Him.Let us chant Bhgavvan's divine names along with Shrri Poonthaanam and millions of other devotees around the world:Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana!Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare!Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava!Sachidaananda! Narrayana! Hare!Samasthaaparaadham KshamaswaSreekrishnaarrpanam asthuRegards and prayersSavitristart: 0000-00-00 end: 0000-00-00
