Preface xi

P

This book has been primarily inspired by two pieces of work one,myththsbeautiful hand-written composition ofloks, for his grand-children, and mantrapushpam, the excellent compilation of vedamantrsandstotrs, from Ramakrishna Mutt.

In this book, several wonderful stotras have been compiled. One ofthe aims of this book is to provide ready access to a number of stotrsin a compact form. Ive often had to refer to a bundle of books for eachstotram. This book, I hope, would prove to be really useful for peoplewho would like to carry around thesestotrswhen they travel around,or would like a handy small book containing all thesestotrs. The otherimportant feature of this book is that all the stotrs are in devangar lipi.Ive often had access to a large number ofstotrs, but in Tamil script. Ifind thedevangar lipimore conducive to correct pronunciation. Thereare several simpleshloksin this book, which I am sure children wouldbe able to pick up easily. Stotrssuch asNma Rmyanamshould cer-tainly be taught to children. Many of these stotras have been rendered

wonderfully by rmat M. S. Subbulakshmi; one just needs to listen to herfor bothbhaktiand inspiration. While the foremost importance is to begiven tobhakti, one must certainly give importance to accurate pronun-ciation as well, andMSSis exemplary in that regard.

One should make it a point to chant at least few of these every day,and most of these in a month. One should certainly recite theVishnuSahasranmameveryday. Of course, it must be emphasised that ones

nityakarmtakes precedence over all these ( -) and one must make time for sandhyvandandi nityakarmsandsuch prayers everyday:

xii Preface

In Kaliyuga,foremostimportanceisgivento nmasankrtanam,andhence,stotras such as these should be recited withbhakti, regularly:

There are several people whom I must thank for their contributionsto this book. I cannot undermine the importance of the Sanskrit Doc-

uments Website, which happens to be the source for almost all of thetexts contained in here. Many thanks to volunteers to build and presentsuch a wonderful collection online. I must acknowledge the efforts ofmy friend Prasd, who has been instrumental (and almost wholly respon-sible) for the improved formatting in this book. I consulted him severaltimesforhelpwithX ELATEX.ButforhisTEX macros, some of the alignmentswould have never happened! I must also thank the writers of the soft-ware ITranslator, which has been the hammer-and-nail for compiling this

book. The other tool critical for this book was X ELATEX, and it was indeedthe release of MiKTEX 2.7 that led me to experiment with X ELATEX, which Ithink has been a success.

I take this opportunity to seek the blessings of myApp,Amm, myGuru Shri S. Ananthakrishnan, and myMm, who have inspired me andtaught me all that I know. I must definitely thankSkethtoo, who hasbeen inspirational in several ways.

I must specially thank myamm, who has encouraged and inspiredme a lot through the course of compiling this book. I also must thankher for proof-reading the text, and particularly helping with ymal dan-dakam. Thanks are also due to my wife, for her support and encourage-ment throughout.

Although we have put in efforts to remove any typographical errors

in this book, I must emphasise that the errors in this book are solely due

to my ignorance and I would be glad to rectify them. Please drop me agmailatkarthik.ramanto notify me of even the smallest of errors.

It is with great pleasure that I present the revisedsecondedition ofthis book.

Many atanma stotrashave been added too; since the

number of atanma stotrashas exceeded 25, I have now moved themto another part by itself. Several corrections have also been made tomany of the stotras, from previous editions. Special thanks to Sketh forproofreadingGakrdi Ganapati Sahasranma stotramand for encodingmany of the ashtottara atanma stotras.
