About?

Narayaneeyam is a celebrated Sanskrit devotional hymn composed by Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri in 1586 AD. It condenses the 18,000 verses of the Bhagavata Purana into 1,036 verses, praising Lord Narayana (Vishnu) and his avatars. Bhattathiri wrote it while suffering from severe rheumatism, after praying to transfer the illness from his guru to himself. Composing Narayaneeyam at the Guruvayur temple, he chanted one chapter daily, seeking divine healing. On completing the hundredth chapter, he is said to have been cured by Lord Krishna’s grace.
