Dear All,
Greetings and Namaste. As tomorrow (04-Sep-2021) happens to be Trayodashi on a Saturday (otherwise known as Shani Pradosham), I am delighted to share a very short and sweet hymn on Lord Nilakantha by Lord Brahma taken from Sri Vayu Mahapuranam and Chapter 54 (titled Nilakantha Stavam).
Abhishekam/Puja performed to Lord Shiva during Shani Pradosha is said to multiply benefits innumerable times including respite from treacherous saturn afflictions. Pradosha Puja/Abhishekam is equally important to both Lord Shiva as well as Lord Nrusimha - in fact, Lord Nrusimha is worshipped with Rudram by many. As our Puranas vouchsafe, Lord Vishnu/Lord Shiva appear different only to the visually impaired. This hymn prays to Lord Shiva as Vishnu and Nara-Narayana.
May We Pray To Lord Nilakantha with this beautiful hymn on Shani Pradosham day!
With best wishes and Pranams,
K. Muralidharan Iyengar (Murali)
