Dear all,
Greetings and Namaste. I am happy to share the following two rare
Vishnu Stotras which could be included in daily prayers by one and
all:
1. Sri Nrusimha Stotram - Garuda Puranam - this is a short and sweet
prayer on Lord Nrusimha by Lord Shiva in Garuda Puranam. One who
chants this daily gets all wishes fulfilled.
2. Sri Venkatesha Divya Kavacham - Agni Puranam - this is a very rare
kavacham on Lord Venkatesha taken from Agni Puranam, Venkatachala
Mahatmya. The print edition of Agni Puranam does not include this
Mahatmya and is taken from a very old publication by TTD in 1940. One
who chants this daily gets relief from danger/distress/disease and
attains Vishnu pada.
My sincere thanks are due to Sri. Tarang Deshpande in sharing a
scanned copy of this very old book and permitting me to share this
with all of you.
Venkatachala Mahatmya is said to be available in many purans - Varaha
Puranam, Padma Puranam, Agni Puranam, Brahmanda Puranam, Skanda
Puranam, etc. But so far, I have seen it only in Skanda Purana and
others are perhaps distributed in bits and pieces in manuscript forms
in different quarters. How much of such treasures survived the passage
of time is anybody's guess. Though we might have inherited only a
fraction of what was bestowed to us, the onus is on our generation is
to preserve at least what is left over so that the future generations
are not denied of such treasures and privilege.
I have been searching for quite sometime for Sriranga Mahatmya - said
to be from Garuda Puranam and Brahmanda Puranam. If any of you know
the source or have access to source, please let me know.
Secondly, I hear that there is a very rare Kavacha on Lord Nrusimha
titled Ghanda Bherunda Nrusimha Kavacham. Same request as above.
Thirdly, on Lord Yoga Nrusimha - there are a couple of stutis (and
several Kshetras) by Bhagavatas. Are there any Ashtottarams,
Sahasranamas, Stotras, Kavachas on Lord Yoga Narasimha?
