Namaste
I just finished
reading a ten-page commentary on the first shloka of Narayaneeyam with a
commentary called
Bhaktaranjani. This is from a Malayalam commentary of the whole of Narayaneeyam
done in the 30's now translated in English by four devotees who are well-versed
in English. I enjoyed reading it so much that I want to recommend the whole
book (which must be, I suppose, in the same style -- if I go by the Foreword
given by Swami Shri Dayananda Saraswathi. It has got word by word meanings,
elaborate commentary on almost every word and expression with profuse quotations
from Upanishads and other scriptures. On the whole it is a treasure for all
students of Vedanta. Members of the advaitin list and of advaita-L may remember
how we enjoyed reading just 36 selected shlokas, put together and entitled
'Advaita Bhakti through Contemplative Practice of Narayaneeyam'.
Have a taste of Bhaktaranjani by sampling from the following:
