Sri Lakshmi Narayana Hrudayam 1.1

Sri Lakshmi Narayana Hrudayam audio, sung by Mrs. Nagamani Sathish.

This great prayer has two distinct parts viz Narayana Hrudayam and Lakshmi Hrudayam and occurs in a book called Atharva Rahasya (The secret Atharva). For thousands of years this great prayer was kept as extremely secret as the prayer itself tells that it should not be taught indiscriminately. With the opening up of Hinduism, this book is available now. In the mid stanzas, the benefits which would accrue on reading this prayer is mentioned. Apart from being showered all types of wealth, it also is capable of making timid children intelligent. Chanting this stotram will bless people who long for a child, protects unborn child, and also avoid misunderstandings and to create harmonious atmosphere in family.

This rare and great prayer is addressed to the unified image of Goddess Lakshmi and God Narayana.
