Who wears yellow cloths, who has four hands, I meditate on Lord Hari who shines like the morning Sun,

I was unaware of this great stotra but my attention was drawn to it by Sri.K.N.Balasubramaniam of III Block, KOramangala, Bangalore. There is no harm to leave them out or read them without any actions. So if you are going to chant them it would be better to know the procedure from a Vedic Scholar. I do not know the correct way in doing them. I have included the Dhyana, Nyasa etc from the Lifco publication. Apart from being showered all types of wealth, it also is capable of making timid children intelligent. In the last stanzas of this great work the benefits which would accrue on reading this prayer is mentioned. If this is not possible, it would be better to go to a temple where there is a sannidhi of Swami Hayagreevar along with Lakshmi, offer pranams and create a belief in your mind that you have learnt it from that God i.e. It is suggested that these should be got from a great Guru. It is told in the book itself that the proper method of reading it is to first read Narayana Hrudayam, then Lakshmi Hrudayam and then again Narayana Hrudayam. The book has two parts viz Narayana Hrudayam and Lakshmi Hrudayam. My attempt in translation is based on the book published by Lifco Publishers with lot of help from the translation and commentary of Dr.Saroja Ramanujam. An extensive commentary of this great work has been done by a team of great Vaishnavite scholars headed by Dr.Saroja Ramanujam. The stotras have been published in Sanskrit as well as Tamil by Lifco publishers Madras.
With the opening up of Hinduism, this book is available now. For thousands of years this great prayer was kept as extremely secret as the prayer itself tells that it should not be taught indiscriminately. This great prayer has two distinct parts viz Narayana Hrudayam and Lakshmi Hrudayam and occurs in a book called Atharva Rahasya (The secret Atharva).
