Chants of India by Sriram

Chants from Mahanarayana Upanishad महानारायण उपनिषद

The Mahanarayana Upanishad is an ancient Sanskrit text embedded within the Krishna Yajurveda. The Upanishad explores themes of metaphysics, ethics, and the pursuit of knowledge, influencing various Indian philosophies. The Mahanarayana Upanishad is notable for its detailed descriptions of rituals, particularly the "Samdhya" ritual, and its focus on the individual and the divine. महानारायण उपनिषद कृष्ण यजुर्वेद में रचित एक प्राचीन संस्कृत ग्रंथ है। यह उपनिषद आरंभिक वैदिक ग्रंथों और अथर्ववेद के बीच एक सेतु का काम करती है, जिसमें "आत्मा" और "ब्रह्म" की अवधारणाओं पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया गया है। यह उपनिषद तत्वज्ञान, नीतिशास्त्र, और ज्ञान की खोज जैसे विषयों पर प्रकाश डालती है और विभिन्न भारतीय धर्मों और दर्शनों को प्रभावित करती है। महानारायण उपनिषद अपने विस्तृत अनुष्ठानों, विशेष रूप से "संध्या" अनुष्ठान, और व्यक्ति और परमात्मा के बीच संबंध पर जोर देने के लिए जानी जाती है। Chanting for this stotra was done by Sriram for Chants of India podcast by gaathastory [www.chants.gaathastory.com].

Pancha Ayudh Stotra - Prayer for Lord Vishnu

Pancha ayudha Stotra, is prayer of the five weapons possessed by Lord Vishnu. These weapons are: Sudarshan Chakra, Panchajanya Shankha, Kaumodaki Gada, Nandaka Khatgha, and Saranga Dhanush. These are the five weapons possessed by Lord Vishnu, and this stotra celebrates the possessor of the weapons- Vishnu Bhagwan himself. The way Vishnu ji came to obtain these stotras is quite interesting. Sudarshan Chakram and the gada, Kaumodaki Gada, were made by Vishwa Karma, the Architect or builder for the Gods. The Saranga Dhanush was made by Lord Brahma. The Panchajanya Shankh was obtained by the Lord after killing an asur or a demon who went by the name Panchhaja. This demon used to reside in this shankh. The sword called Nandak was obtained by Lord Vishnu during one of the Maha Hom (or yagnas) performed by Brahma jii. While performing this Hom, an Asur with a thousand arms used to obstruct the rituals. The name of this Asur was Loha. Lord Vishnu appeared in front of Brahma ji, seized the Khataka, called Nandaka Khetaka from the Asur. He used that very weapon to slay the Asur.
