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 the
late Shri K.V Gopalakrishna, son of Vancheswara
Sastry, Shri G. Sankaran, the late Smt. Parvati Sankaran and Shri T.P Sivasubramani. Shri. S.N Sastri
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.
The 2nd
edition of the book was published in 2010 and was sold out in 2021. In 2023, a limited
reprint of the 2nd edition has been done.
