अथ नारायन हृदय स्तोत्रम्
atha nārāyana hṛdaya stōtram
Thus begins the Sri Narayana Hridaya Stotram.
About this stotra
The Sri Lakshmi Narayana Hrudaya Stotram is a combined hymn comprising two complementary sections: the Narayana Hrudayam and the Lakshmi Hrudayam. The Narayana Hrudayam opens with ritual nyasa (placement of mantras on the body), a dhyana (meditation) on Vishnu, and an ashtaka (eight-verse hymn) proclaiming Narayana as the supreme light, supreme Brahman, supreme deity and the source of Brahma, Shiva and Indra. The Lakshmi Hrudayam similarly glorifies the goddess Lakshmi as the indwelling power of Narayana and the bestower of all wealth and liberation. Traditionally both sections are recited together, and the text is widely used in Vaishnava daily worship and on Fridays.
