Poojya Paramacharya of Kanchi had advised the chanting of the following verse from the great scripture “Narayaneeyam” (Canto 8 sloka 13 ) to a devotee who was suffering from cancer. अस्मिन् परात्मन् ननु पाद्मकल्पे त्वमित्थमुत्थापितपद्मयोनि: । अनन्तभूमा मम रोगराशिं निरुन्धि वातालयवास विष्णो ॥१३॥ Asmin parathman nanu paathmakalpe Thvamithamutthapitha padmayonihi I Anantha bhooma mama roga raashim, Nirundhi vaathalaya vaasa vishno. II அஸ்மின் பராத்மன் நனு பாத்மகல்பே த்வமிதமுத்தபித பத்மயோனிஹி அனந்த பூம மம ரோக ராஷிம் நிருந்தி வாதலய வாச விஷ்ணோ The slokam is a prayer to the Lord Guruvayuppan. Roughly translated it means: Oh Lord Vishnu, enshrined in Guruvayur ! Oh Great Soul ! Oh The Lord of Eternal Glory, who thus awakened Brahma in Paadmakalpa ! May Thou remove all my afflictions. guruvayurappan The people of Kerala worship Krishna in His deity form as Guruvayurappan in the temple town of Guruvayur. According to local legends, Bhattathiri had a Guru by the name of Achyuta Push at at I, who fell victim to a severe attack of paralysis, and suffered unbearable pain. Bhattathiri desired to find a cure for his master and fervently prayed for the disease to be transferred to himself, freeing his Guru from suffering. According to the legend, Lord Krishna granted Bhattathiri his wish, and he soon became crippled. Once, when Bhattathiri, unable to move, was carried into the Guruvayur temple, he met Tunchath Ezhuthachan, an eminentMalayalam poet of the time. Ezhuthachan advised Bhattathiri that he could be cured if he “began his treatment with fish”. The disciples of Bhattathiri who heard this were shocked because Bhattathiri was a devout Hindu and therefore a vegetarian who would consider it sinful to eat fish. Bhattathiri however understood what Ezhuthachan really meant – that he would be cured if he could compose a hymn glorifying the incarnations of Lord Krishna beginning with the fish incarnation, known as Matsya. Accordingly, he started composing the Narayaniyam. It is said that he would recite one dasakam, consisting of ten verses, every day. The local legend says that on the hundredth day he had a vision of the Lord, and rendered a graphic description of this form, after which he was immediately cured of his disease.
My dear Anna Thanks for sharing I say this prayer everyday. May Guruvayurappa keep you healthy and prosperous
Dear Cheeniya sir, I am going to recite one dasakam daily. Did not know the power of it all the days. Not for myself but somebody else, some near and dear ones for their good health. Thank you for motivating me. Syamala
Now I have to find Narayaneeyam in Sanskrit. I've heard of miracles happening on reciting the Narayaneeyam with bhakti
