Yani Kani PapaniJanmantar Krutanich Shloka: The Spiritual Significance of Pradakshina

Welcome to "Celebrating Hinduism with Giridhar", where we enrich lives with the rich mythology, traditions, and teachings of Hinduism. In today's episode, we dive into the fascinating story of Narsimha Avatar, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu mythology, when the demon king Hiranyakashipu gained immense power and became arrogant, he demanded that everyone in his kingdom worship him instead of the gods. But his own son Prahlad remained devoted to Lord Vishnu, which enraged Hiranyakashipu. He tried to kill Prahlad many times, but each time Vishnu saved him. Finally, Hiranyakashipu challenged Vishnu to show himself, saying that if he existed, he should appear from a pillar in the palace. Vishnu then manifested as Narsimha Avatar, a ferocious form that was half-lion and half-man, and emerged from the pillar. In a fierce battle, Narsimha Avatar killed Hiranyakashipu and saved Prahlad. This story has many symbolic and spiritual meanings, such as the triumph of good over evil, the power of devotion, and the importance of balance between human and animal nature. Join us as we explore the nuances of this fascinating tale and its relevance to our lives today.

Namaste and welcome to "Celebrating Hinduism with Giridhar"! I'm your host, Giridhar, and in this episode, I want to share with you the transformative power of chanting Achyutam Keshavam. The mantra "Achyutam Keshavam" is a beautiful and powerful chant from the Hindu tradition. It is made up of two names of Lord Vishnu, "Achyuta" meaning "immortal" or "indestructible" and "Keshava" meaning "one who has long, curly hair." Chanting Achyutam Keshavam can have incredible benefits for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It can help us focus our minds, find inner peace, and connect more deeply with the Divine.
So join me as we delve into the meaning behind Achyutam Keshavam and explore the beauty and wisdom of this ancient practice. If you don't know the pronunciation of the Sanskrit mantra, please feel free to listen to the podcast episode. And let's begin by chanting together: Achyutam Keshavam!
अच्युतम् केशवं रामनारायणं,
कृष्णदामोदरं वासुदेवं हरिम्।
श्रीधरं माधवं गोपिकावल्लभं,
जानकीनायकं रामचंद्रं भजे॥
English transliteration of the Achyutam Keshavam mantra in Roman script:
Achyutam Keshavam, Rama Narayanam,
Krishna Damodaram, Vasudevam Harim,
Shreedharam Madhavam, Gopika Vallabham,
Janaki Nayakam, Ramachandram Bhaje.
