Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

Narayaneeya-Archanam

August 27, 2021

Sri Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated by all followers of our Sanatana Dharma on Shravana Krishna Ashtami all over the world.

This year (Plava nama Samvatsara), Sri Krishna Janmashtami falls on Monday the 30th August 2021.

As an age-old custom, His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham Sringeri performs a special puja on Janmashtami and it is celebrated in a grand manner.

Beginning this year, as per the direction of Their Holinesses, special Puja will be performed to Lord Krishna with Tulasi Archana accompanied by chant of Sriman Narayaneeyam and Vishnu Sahasranamavali in the premises of Sringeri Math on Shravana Krishna Navami (Aug 31, 2021) as part of the Krishna Janmashtami Celebrations of the Plava Samvatsara. The chanting will take place for the welfare of all mankind with special prayers for the resolution of the pandemic situation.  

Sriman Narayaneeyam authored by the renowned 16th century scholar, Melpathur Sri Narayana Bhattatiri of Kerala is a condensation of Bhagavan Veda Vyasa’s Srimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam that runs to 18,000 verses. 

Bhattatiri dedicates Narayaneeyam consisting of 100 dashakas and 1034 verses at the Lotus Feet of His Ishta Devata, Lord Krishna in the form of Sri Guruvayoorappan and prays for a quick recovery from the disease that has afflicted him. In doing so, he gives an excellent and devout portrayal of Lord Krishna’s life and also explains the Advaitic teaching as depicted in Srimad Bhagavatam.

As per the directive of the Jagadgurus, 10 Namas from the Vishnu Sahasranamavali will be chanted when chanting every dashaka of Sriman Narayaneeyam during the Archana. 

Devotees can offer their Seva by contributing Rs. 1000/- per person. Sankalpam and Archana will be performed in the devotee’s name and special prasadams would be sent to their place of stay.

I sincerely request all devotees to participate in this “Narayaneeyaarchanam” in huge numbers and be a recipient of the Divine Blessings of Lord Krishna and the Acharyas.

For the benefit of all devotees, the programme will be telecast live (on Sankara TV) on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 to enable devotees to participate from their place of stay.

Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us.
