Dear Ramadas ji,I have translated herewith what is stated as preface to Sri

Lakshmi and Sri Narayana Hridayam stothrams from the book I have. It is stated

in the preface many times that these stothras should NOT be recited, unless

getting appropriate diksha from a guru. Please see the translation. Also, if

you remember, I was suggested to read these stothrams by a certain Kamakshi

Devi upasaki, but she too told me to recite ONLY 1st sloka of Sri Narayana

Hridayam and 3rd sloka of Sri Lakshmi Hridayam. Due to this, I'm not reciting

the whole stothrams, as also mentioned in the preface (translated). Would like

to know your opinions.-

Jayashree********************************************************************PREFACE

: Sri Lakshmi/Narayana HridayamTRANSLATED FROM: Stothra

book by 'THE LITTLE FLOWER COMPANY', Madras.CONTENTS : Contains two

hidden/mysterious stothras namely Sri Narayana Hridayam and

Sri Lakshmi Hridayam from 'Adharva Rahasyaa Utthara Baagha'.

*********************************************************************These

stothras are contained in Adharva Rahasyaa/Uttara Baagha as being tutored by

Rishi Bharghava. Those ancestors of ours who recited both these stothras have

been said to have acquired all kinds of merits, wealth, health, good children,

blessings of Goddess Lakshmi for generations after generations, longevity and

peace of mind. These stothras are not published commonly everywhere. The reason

being that these were being hidden in Adharva Rahasyaa. Still, our

ancestors have had steadfast devotion to god and were highly moral and never

failed to reveal these stothras to those devotees who were steadfast in

devotion too. Hence, those who know about the extreme power of these stothras

are best adviced to recite these ONLY after being tutored by a competent Guru.

The reason being that, these are 'Mantra Rahasyaas that are linked to Vedas'.

These are highly potent and capable of granting any wish. Those who cannot

afford to being tutored by a guru can follow different means: the one who is

praised as 'the embodiment of knowledge, the form of divine light, the one

whose body is made of mantras (mantramaya Swaroopan), Amlaana: Amruthavishadai:

Amshubi:', the one who is with his consort Sri Mahalakshmi, who is Sri Lakshmi

Hayagriva, will ensure success with this mantras when a devotee eager to recite

these stothras can pay Guru dakshina at his sanctum sanctorium and worshipped as

being

tutored/initiated into this mantra recitation by the very same god at his

sanctorium and when started to recite on an auspicious day. It is essential to

follow the Anganyasa, Karanyaasa, purashcharyaadi kramaas from the wise and

elderly. Why these stothras are so important is because these speak loftily of

the prowess of Shriya: pathi Sriman Naraayana, the devotee of Sriman Naraayana

Sri Mahalakshmi and hence they have knowledge and verses contained in them that

surpass the material as well as spiritual realms in praising god of his power

and capacity for sustaining us all and his kindness.This stothra stated that

Sri Mahalakshmi dwells with Sriman Naraayana, the para-brahmam in all his 5

states - param, vyuham, antharyaamithvam, vibhavam and Archai and hence goddess

Mahalakshmi is equal in all ways to Sriman Naraayana. Since goddess Mahalakshmi

embodes in all of bhagawan's vibhavaadhaaraa and along with the

archaamurthy at the temples, it is stated that:"yathaa Vaikunta nagare yathaa

vai Kshirasaagare |thathaa madhbhavane dishta sthiram Srivishnunaa saha ||The

above rules that in parathvaa-SriVakuntha, Sri Mahalakshmi attains a state that

is equal in all ways to that of Sriman Naraayana. She also plays an equal role

in Antharyaamithvam. Sri Alavandaar, Sri Ramaanujar, Sri Swami Desikan, all

have praised Goddess Mahalakshmi endlessly proving that she is the one who is

most capable of granting Moksha. Hence one who recites these slokas is able to

get everything. This is so because, if a devotee recites these with

'parama-bhakti', if according to the 'Janma-libhi', if we are not destined to

have 'Kaarya Siddhi' or goodluck, due to the power of these mantras, Goddess

Mahalakshmi who is the embodiment of kindness is able to erase the janma-libhi,

thus blessing us with what we want. The benefits of reciting these two

stothras together:1. Even one who is stricken with extreme poverty would become

very wealthy. Even a mental resolution to recite these stothras is capable of

destroying all kinds of mishaps surrounding a person, since this stothra equals

to that of reciting Sri Mahalakshmi mantra 5000 times.2. The one who recites

this 5 times on each Friday or listens to it, gets immense wealth.3. Most

importantly noticeable:When this mantra is recited in pure water mixed with

parimalam, and then consumed, in that whole kulam, a child with faint luck or

bhagya WILL NOT be born. If recited in kheer made of ghee and milk, and then

consumed by a pregnant woman each Friday, she will beget a child who equal

Sriman Naraayana in tejas.4. When started in Aippasi (month acc. to Tamil

Calendar) first with Sri Narayana Hridayam followed by Sri Lakshmi Hridayam and

then again by Sri Narayana Hridayam, it equals reciting of this

stothra once. SRI LAKSHMI HRIDAYAM SHOULD NEVER BE RECITED ALONE. Based on the

tithi, everyday, once in pradamaa, twice in dwithiyaa, in this count, if

recited till Poornima, that house will have the ultimate blessings of Goddess

Mahalakshmi.Though this stothra denotes Sriman Narayana and Sri Mahalakshmi in

general, in specific this denotes the divine couple who have manifested at

'Thiruvayeendrapuram' as Sri Devanadan and Sri Hamabjavalli Thaayaar. Hence,

one who wants to praise the divine couple with this stothra, should do so

before a framed picture of the couple, after lighting a lamp and offering

flowers. This stothras which SHOULD NEVER BE PUBLISHED (owing to this being a

hidden/mysterious/secret mantra form of the Veda Shakti of Sriman Narayana and

Sri Mahalakshmi in their 5 divine forms as stated as Param, Vyuham,

Antharyaami, Vibhavam and Archaa), have still been published due to the welfare

of the world.

Hence, those who want to recite this, HAVE TO RECEIVE THIS FROM A SUITABLE GURU

BEFORE RECITING THEM or should start only after a symbolic reception of the

same from the santum sanctorium of Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva as stated above, after

paying Guru Dakshina to Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva and then started on an auspicious

day. In the same way, others should not be adviced to start reciting these

mantras, but should be stated to do so by a guru only. The reason being that,

'Thiruvashtaakshara mantra' which is also another hidden/sacred mantra that

cannot be freely recited was stated by Sriman Ramaanujaa, who did so inspite of

the heavy tax and threat of having to go to hell due to pulisizing that sacred

mantra. The same amount of extreme respect and caution with regards to the

mantra potential has to be exercised to this

stothra.**********************************************************************Archives:

Dear Ramadas ji,

I'm glad to hear your response and I have immense faith in your

intuition. I hope the introductory note which I got from the stothram

book is of help to those eager to read these stothrams follow the

appropriate preliminaries as well as procedures such as paying guru-

dakshina to Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva and reciting Sri Lakshmi Hridaya

inbetween 2 Narayana Hridaya in the order of Sri Narayana Hridaya/Sri

Lakshmi Hridaya/Sri Narayana Hridaya and start doing so on an

auspicious day first.

Best regards,

Jayashree

Best regards,> > Jayashree There is scope for interpreting differently, but the

slokas at the end of Narayana Hridayam seem to suggest that you have to read

Lakshmi Hridayam once per every single reading of Narayana Hridayam. I was

taught to read Narayana Hridayam first and then Lakshmi Hridayam. If I read

Narayana Hridayam again after that, I was taught to read Lakshmi Hridayam also

once more. That is how I interpret the slokas at the end of Narayana Hridayam,

which outline the procedure. Some people may interpret like you did above.

This is particularly auspicious on Fridays according to the phalasruti. Friday

night is specifically mentioned in phalasruti. The phalasruti at the end of

Lakshmi Hridayam says that Sukla paksha in Aswayuja month is particularly

favorable.

If you recite these two hridayas several times with some rice, cook the

abhimantrita rice and offer it to Lakshmi and Narayana and then give it to a

pregnant lady, the slokas say that Narayana Himself (or Lakshmi Herself) will

be born. Of course, we are imperfect in our procedures and so it may not hold

true completely, but definitely the child will be blessed.

For example, I read the two Hridayas 11 times each on a Friday night in sukla

paksha in Aswayuja maasa and gave the abhimantrita rice to my wife when she was

carrying my daughter. My daughter has Lakshmi yoga in her chart, along with two

Mahapurusha yogas and a very strong Tapaswini yoga. She was also born after

exactly 108 weeks of a special Lakshmi pooja (namely, reading 108 names of

Lakshmi 108 times on every Friday). So I believe that we got a child carrying

the blessings of Lakshmi.

I also did this to some friends and relatives. If you have a friend or relative

who is pregnant, this is the best gift you can give them.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha

PS (to Anna): You asked about chara paryaya dasa. Yes, Anna, it is different

from chara dasa and JHora commercial version computes it. That is what I used

in that article.

PPS (to Hari): Hari, you definitely did not criticize. I did not look at it that

way. I was reacting to mails from another member, who made some sweeping

statements on astrologers as a whole and used me as an example. In any case,

constructive criticism is always good and I sincerely welcome it. Don't worry,

you weren't misunderstood. Not by me!

Would you please give us text of

Sri Lakshmi/Narayana Hridayam mantras

Thanks,
