Beschreibung

Puranas are an important part of Hindu scriptures. There are eighteen main Puranas and among them Srimad Bhagawatam is considered to be the most important. It consists of about 18000 verses. Narayaneeyam is a condensed form of this purana and it contains about 1000 verses in Sanskrit spread over 100 cantos.
The author of Narayaneeyam is Meppattur Narayana Bhattatri. He was an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna of Guruvayur. Bhattatri was suffering from some incurable disease. He composed this Narayaneeyam and sang them in front of the Lord at the temple here. At the end of each canto, he prayed to the Lord seeking relief. Miraculously, he was cured of his disease.
This book gives a brief narrative of Narayaneeyam in English. It is presented canto-wise interspersed with some verses from the original text.
