At the request of Minal Mehta, a recent visitor to this
blog, here is the audio of Sri Narayana Sahasranama Stotram from Lakshmi
Narayana Samhita. This stotram is in the form of a presentation by Sri Krishna
to Sri Radha.
The pertinent link to the lyrics is given at the bottom of
this post. While the entire stotram is beautiful, the part that appealed the
most starts at verse 76 ( around the 15 minute audio point )wherein women, men, fetuses, children, seeds, flowers,
fruits, senses, sleep, wakefulness, love, mind, knowledge, seasons, days,
nights, wealth, grains, strength, all natural laws, devotion, life, light, all
qualities, powers, surprises, tests, etc -- everything "including me" ("Aham Tvam") are all denoted as forms of Sriman
Narayana !!! The hymn is simply loaded with praise for Him, Who encompasses
everything, be it material or subtle. If one contemplates on these lyrics, the
very notion of a human being separate from the Divine vanishes; then why worry?
The note at the bottom of the lyrics is somewhat important
for those that are bogged down by details regarding the stotram not necessarily
having a thousand names / qualities, but the Sanskrit shlokam does state that
it is in the form of a sahasranamam. Thanks to the request by Minal Ji and
thanks to Sriman Narayana, we all get to enjoy listening to this phenomenal shlokam.
This is a long hymn. 18.4 MB
And now the audio: 20 minutes 4 seconds long.
( Mobile devices: click download; then play.) NOTE: BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY LARGE FILE ABOUT 18 MEGABYTES, YOU WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD AND THEN LISTEN. On mobile devices and some computers, you may get the message -- This file is too large for Google to scan, download anyway? -- You will have to answer "YES" and then listen after download. On some computers, when you hit the play button, if nothing seems to happen, click the Download arrow at the top, click download anyway and then listen. Sorry for the inconvenience -- but this is a big file and praise to Lord Narayana -- His Grace is magnificent !

Deletesorry to bother again.
ReplyDeletein religious texts it is written that humans who want to wash off their sins should take a dip in GANGA RIVER.
AFTER YEARS OF washing sins of many humans GANGA RIVER HERSELF BECOMES SINFULL, SO GANGA RIVER TAKES THE FORM OF
BLACK COW AND IMMERESE HER SELF IN NARMADA RIVER TO WASH OF HER SINS.
ALSO NARMADA RIVER IS DAUGHTER OF
LORD SHIVA.
IF TIME PERMITS CAN YOU RECITE
SRI NARMADA SAHASRANAMAM FOR BETTERMENT OF HUMAN KIND.
Namaste !! Thank you for the wonderful comment; planning on a short post to respond so the reply does not become too long ! Regarding Sri Narmada Sahasranamam, if SHE wills IT will happen !
