Bhaktaranjini A Commentary on Srimad Narayaneeyam

 

Srimad Narayaneeyam is an immortal devotional hymn extolling the glory of Lord Guruvayoorappan, composed by Melpathur Narayana Bhattatiri, a great scholar-devotee who lived in Kerala in the 16th-17th centuries.

 

Bhaktaranjini, a commentary on Srimad Narayaneeyam, was published in the 1930s, authored by Brahmasri Mahopadhyaya K.G. Vancheswara Sastry and Brahmasri Mahopadhyaya R. Viswanatha Sastry. This commentary was in Malayalam.

 

In 2005, an English version of the commentary was published. This was authored by Shri K.V Gopalakrishna, son of Vancheswara Sastry, Shri G. Sankaran, Smt. Parvati Sankaran and Shri T.P Sivasubramani. Shri. S.N Sastry who had authored a commentary on Narayaneeyam earlier, has edited the work. A charitable trust – aptly named the Bhaktaranjini Trust – handles the publication of the book.
