SrI:
Dear Sri AnanathakrishNan :
Few Comments about your questions on
Sri Mantrarajapadha StOtram :
1. It is composed by Ahibudhnyan ( aka Rudran).
Hr is one of the greatest Nrisimha BhakthAs and does Prapatti
to Sri Nrisimhan in this stOtram . There is nothing to fear about
the recitation of this stOtram .
2. Since you are a SrI Matam sishya , You have a special relationship
to this stOtram . I can understand your attraction to it .
3. This stotram contains one slOkam , which is the NrusimhAnushtup
mantram . That is the one that has to be recieved as UpadEsam from
one's AchAryan for Mantra Japam . There are nyAsam etc as it is
for all mantrAs for Upaasanam .For Phala siddhi , You have to
recieve the upadEsam from Srimad Azhagiya Singar on your next trip
to India and seek His anugraham and if he so chooses ,
HH Srimad Azhagiya Singar might bless You . AchAram ,
anushtAnam are
very important here .
4. Dr.T.G.Ramamurthy , Managing Ediror of
the English version od SrI Nrisimha Priya
has translated the slOkams of Sri Mantra Raaja
Padha StOtram in to English .We will be releasing it soon
as an ebook in the Srihayagrivan series
(
http://www.srihayag rivan.org )
5. You can meanwhile recite Swamy Desikan's
KaamAseekAshtakam , which is very powerful
and specific MantrOpadEsam is not needed .
You can add SudarsanAshrakam to your daily
prayers . Both have been released as ebooks
with original SlOkams , Meanings and Commentaries
in the Sundara Simham series :
http://www.sundaras imham.org 5. VaikunThavAsi Sri MukkUr Lakshmi
NarasimhaachAr has released many
articles in Tamil SrI Nrisimha PriyA
and dwelt at length on the
profound meanings
of each word of the Sri NrusimhAnushtup
Mantram of the Mantra Raaja Padha StOtram .
All of those are available in a special DVD
released earlier during the occasion of
the SatAbhishEkam of Prakrutam
Srimad Azhagiya Singar , two years ago .
You can acquire a copy of this by sending
email to Sriman Rajaji and sending some
samarpaNam to the upcoming 82nd
Thirunakshatra Utsavam of Srimad
Azhagiya Singar , who is copied
on this note . He is in USA like myself.
6. There are nine kinds of snAnam , one of
which is Maanasa Snaanam with Mantram ,
when one is unable to have head to foot
snAnam with water . This is allowed by
SaastrAs in an emergency .
NamO SrI NrisimhAya ,
