Sampoorna roga nivarana stotra of Guryvayurappan
(Pardon me for compiling a new stotra from various existing stotras for curing your
diseases addressed to guruvayurappan. It starts with a general prayer to cure
diseases, a suprabatham sloka requesting cure of diseases,followed by 4 slokas from
other prayers followed by the great roga hara stotram, followed by Mangalam again
requesting to cure your disease. I hope he will surely cure all our diseases)

Solve all your problems by worshiping Lord Guruvayurappan
By
Sengalipuram Anantha Rama Deekshithar
( This is taken from Deekshithars Jaya Mangala stotram. Deekshithar says that this
powerful worship procedure can be followed by any person including ladies and
boys .All that they need is a photo of Lord Guruvayurappan , few flowers for
worship and a small quantity of cow’s milk and fruits for naivedyam . He
further says that it would be extremely effective in getting problems due to planets
solved,.He also mentions that it would be a great help in curing knee pain, deafness ,
rheumatism etc..He says if devotees doing this pooja can hear or read
Narayaneeyam it would be doubly effective)
(if this pooja is being done by a Brahmin man whose Yajnopavitha(sacred thread) is
over, he should do Om bhoo)
For getting rid of all the problems that face me . for pleasing Lord Shiva ,
For getting the pleasure of the Lord of Guruvayur,
For pleasing him , for getting rid curse of Lord Vishnu , for getting rid of problems
created by the nine planets,
For getting fulfilled all the desires that I can think of ,
For getting cured of all diseases that are present in my body,
I am performing the worship of the Lord of Guruvayur
13
Asanam samapayami – i am offering you seat
Padhayo padhyam samarpayaami- I am giving you water to wash your feet
Arghyam samarpayami –I am offering water as respect to the guest
Achamaneeyam samarpayami-I am offering water for your inner purification
Snanam Samarpayami – I offer you bath
Snana anantharam Achamaneeyam samarpayami – I offer you water for inner
purification after your bath
14
Depending offerings to god being offered , manthra will change . You can just
offer cow’s milk and fruits .Then you have to keep cows milk in one cup and fruits
before the photo and say
Chant
Neerajanam , sumangalyam koti soorya prakasakam,
Aham bhakthyaa pradhaasyaami , sweekurushva dhayanidhe
I am offering very auspicious spotless light which shines like one crore suns,
This I am doing with great devotion, Oh treasure of mercy, please accept
All the sins that I may have committed, in this birth and earlier ones,
Would get destroyed with every step of my Pradakshina(going round)
15
Nama pankaja naabhaaya, nama pankaja maaline,
Nama pankaja nethraaya namasthe pankajangraye
Salutations to lotus eyed one , salutations to one who wears lotus garland ,
Salutations to him who has lotus like eyes and salutations to him who has lotus like feet
It is very satisfying to see the soft waves of your complete sympathy shown by the
beauty of your moving eyes,
Oh lord your pair of eyes and eye lashes are shining with darkness and
sweetness ,
Which are like the petals of lotus flower shining in the evening purple light of the
sun,
And my lord , they are playing with mercy and would reach the autumn world with
speed.

Guruvayu puresa Bhujanga stotra
By
Kodungaloore Kunji Kuttan thampuran
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(This very rare stotra was written by Kodungallore Kunji Kuttan Thampuran, who is the
one who translated Maha Bharatha epic verse by verse in to Malayalam within a period
of 874 days. Due to this impossible feat , he is normally called as Kerala Vyasan.I have
followed the translation of this great stotra by Sri .C.P.Nayar by Srihari publications.)
17
Nanu prathyaham vatha roga thurangaa,
Sthadhanyejana Vayu Gehescha Vishno,
Bhavantham Bhajantho Labhanthe kilanthe,
Swarogacha samsara yogacha mukthim. 4
18
Your pretty belly as soft as the newly formed banyan leaf,
Contains within itself the entire egg of the universe,
And knowing your body so nicely decorated by yellow silk.
Those curious seekers of truth are filled by wonderment.
19
Shish pranavinam dugdha chowryadhi vrutham,
Vitapreenanam Gopikaa jaraathadhyam,
Bhata preenanam malla yudhadhi bheema,
Nnaho sarva mavajjanam loukikaaanaam. 13
20
You are our teacher oh, Lord of Guruvayur,
And you who is the inner soul of everything,
Is the one who is within everything and
Is everywhere and you being the soul of activity,
Shines through it inside and outside the world.
21
Aroopa saroopo asya karma sakarmaa,
Sayanekosi chaikosinai kosi kosi,
Marunnadha , sathwam nmarur nivisesho,
Jagadwapyathishtannadhyasyosi chithram. 22
22
Oh Lord Of Guruvayur , if there is danger,
In serving your feet , let it become my teacher,
As I would like to serve your feet with devotion,
And become a partner in the devotion to you.
23
Madheeyam samastham thwadheeyam vivrunwan,

Guruvayupuresa Suprabatham
Translated by P.R.Ramachander
Guruvayurappan , the Lord of Guruvayur is believed to have been brought and installed
there by Guru (the teacher of devas) and Vayu (the God of wind) at the time when the
island of Dwaraka was swallowed by the sea. The temple and the lord are not only
popular in Kerala but in other states also. A Keralite in trouble always calls the Lord of
Guruvayur to support him. This is the wake up poem sung to wake up the Lord of
Guruvayur in the morning.
Mayamahajavanikapihithathma drushti,
Viswodhbhava pralaya kelishu jagarookam,
Nithya prabudhamapi bodhayithum pravrutha,
Suryam thamovruthamavaithi thamondha drushti., 5
26
I wish a very great morning, to the lord of the temple of air,
For great king of sags like Vyasa, Narada , Sananda,
Sanath kumara, Durvasa, Garga and Kapila,
Have arrived for a glimpse of his lotus like feet.
27
And with clean heart, with fruits and flowers in hands,
And are meditating and chanting his divine names.
28
Sri maruthalaya vibho thava suprabatham., 16
I wish a very great morning, Krishna the lord of the whole world,
Who was sung about by ages by his black colour,
Who made his devotes cross the ocean of life without effort,
And who would definitely not disregard the very much oppressed.

Gurvayurappan Suprabatham
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Having assumed a benevelont form, the temple of kindness , who is the wish giving
tree,
Took incarnation to kill the evil persons like Kamsa,
Who will take the form of Kalki to end evils of Kali age,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, kindly make this morning good for me
32
Conch , wheel , mace and lotus flower,
Such things you keep in your four hands,
And from here I see you as Lord of Guruvayur,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, kindly make this morning good for me
Oh Lord of Guruvayur who was worshipped by the blessed king of poets Bhattathiri,
Those characters explained by words and those kept secret were told by you,
To the sages of the god of words as well as To Brahma,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, kindly make this morning good for me
33
Smitha madhura mukham they drushtum mevabhi kamksha,
Gurupavana pathe maam pahi karunya drushtyaa,
Vathalayesa krupayaa kuru suprabatham 13
Wearing crown and ear globes made of several type of gems, decorating himself with
yellow silk,
Your look steals the mind of all who see you, Oh Lord who is important to Prahladha,
Oh Lord who is an expert in playing Veena, flute and Mridanga, I pray you as you
are now,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, kindly make this morning good for me.
34
By giving our sons, you give us sons,
And that results in having a son,
Oh god who is famous for thulabhara,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, kindly make this morning good for me.
Hearing the bell the devotees happily reach the temple pond,
And those attuned to rules take bath oH Lord Guruvayurappa, and enter your temple,
After seeing anointment by oil they again see you , the one dripping with mercy ,
anointed by sandal paste,
And you drowned in clouds, became one with happy body , and you will say good
morning to us.
The words created by Bhattathiri are exceedingly sweet, making us shake our head,
That holy one encouraged him by the merciful glance and shaking of his head,
And the blessed poet drank the honey to the ears of the story of Krishna without
break,
35
And told us the story of the lord of Guruvayur, may he make the morning good for
us.
You ate in the form of a gopa boy and ate the remaining yourself,
And you daily gave the gopa boys, In Brindavanam, oh lord.
And after the eating of Brahmins , your meals would become great,
Please show me oh God who is the lord of Guruvayur , make the morning good to me
36
Guruvayurappan Pratha Smaranam
Remembering Guruvayrappan in the morning
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
I sing in the morning, him who is black in colour and has a flag of Garuda,
Who is lying downin the ocean with belly of hundred leaves,
The Lord of Guruvayur is always saluted by a group of sages,
And large number of people are carefully saluting his feet.
In the morning I salute the feet, which can only be god by good deeds,
And see the Lord of Guru Vayu pura,
With remaining oil , which is great medicine , all over the world,
And who is the full Parijatha flower desired by his devotees.

For ending long standing enmity when Saalya came with help of sivaganas,
You became angry,powdered that magical army and also killed him,
In Hasthinapura when the very bad Duchasana, started removing dress of Panjali,
By giving continuously cloth and showing your grace , you protected her respectability,
When Pandavas were living in the forest, sage Durvasa came with great hunger,
And by eating a small sticking amaranth leaf, you yourself satiated hunger of the sage,
In the Mahabharatha war , when both sides approached you for help,
93
You gave your valorus army to the Kauravas and yourself to Pandavas
In front of Duryodhana of great deceit and in front of Bheeshma and Drona,
You who had gone as an emissary took a super form touching the sky,
In the Kuru kshethra war front When Arjuna got jittery on seeing only his relations,
You became is Guru and taught him Gita, showed your real form and became his driver
When Arjuna hesitated to kill Bheeshma, you went to Bheeshma holding the Chakra,
When The Guru of the clan who taught arrow to arjuna sent Narayanasthra, you
suffered it.
To hide the Sun you took your chakra so that Jayadratha can be killed,
By pressing the chariot you avoided the Nagasthra of son of Surya.
BY making people to salute the Brahmastra of Aswathama, you controlled it,
By preventing arrow of Aswathama, you saved the Foetus in womb of Uthara,
You showed your Viswa roopa to Bheeshma before he died,
You made Dharma who won in the war perform ASwamedha yaga

Krishna, the blessed one shining forth in Guruvayur, medicines have lost their power to
cure my maladies, and the only elixir is the chanting of your names, may you be
pleased to protect me so that huge sins do not visit me.
Krishna, the blessed one shining forth in Guruvayur, as my end is approaching and the
God of death is coming near to tie me up and take me away, may you be pleased to be
present near me as my sole kinsman and may you be pleased to present to my dying
eyes your blissful form.
You the dweller of Guruvayur, having the hue of black clouds, you the source of all that
is splendid, may you be pleased to bless me.

Adorning all his ten fingers.

I would like to see your divine self’s,
Flower like body, oh Lord of Guruvayur,

Climbing plant like eye brows which protrect theworld,
Your pair of eyes which are similar to leaf of lotus,
Your face and your pretty slow smile,

Your extremely pretty yellow silk,
Oh auspicious God, you divine thighs,
Bring to our mind , fragrant flower of pandanus,
Your wonderful knee and calves, which are two each,
And your two divine feet which would completely remove,
The sorrow of your devotees,
And with pride when God of death reaches,
And continue my meaningless talk,
I would like to see the flower like body,
Of your divine self, Oh Lord of Guruvayur, Oh Hari

(Poonthanam was possibly one of the greatest forerunners of Bhakthi cult in Kerala and
his greatest work was Jnana Pana, Loosely it can be translated as “Pot of Knowledge”.
But “pana” here is not pot but a style of folk poem. This is written in a common man’s
language and in a common man’s verse. It preaches the greatness of repetition
(singing) of the Holy God’s names. In between Poonthanam wrote about the world he
saw and the world he wanted to see. Some people term it as the “Bhagavad Geetha of
Malayalam. Here is a mellifluous extremely poetic prayer addressed to the God who is
worshipped by the eight letter chant, “Om Namo Narayanaya”)

Oh good fortune of people who is the God of Vamapura , who is fond of sports,
Oh garland of forest of Thulasi , who has perfume of Mandhara flowers and is the

(This prayer is one of the very popular prayers addressed to Guruvayurappan written by

Please come and appear before me,
Hey Krishna who is the only lord of fourteen worlds,
Hey God who fills all the ten directions fully,
261
Please help me to live without any problems.
Oh Krishna, along with the music of your flute with drum beats,
Oh Lad of the cowherds, please come running to me,
Oh pretty and charitable Krishna, who is playful,
There is no comparison at all for your qualities.
262
Please drive away my problems and take care of me.

Neeyathre Govinda

Poonthanam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Poonthanam was possibly one of the greatest forerunners of Bhakthi cult in Kerala and
his greatest work was Jnana Pana, Loosely it can be translated as “Pot of Knowledge”.
But “pana” here is not pot but a style of folk poem. This is written in a common man’s
language and in a common man’s verse. It preaches the greatness of repetition
(singing) of the Holy God’s names. In between Poonthanam wrote about the world he
saw and the world he wanted to see. Some people term it as the “Bhagavad Geetha of
Malayalam Here is a philosophical devotional song trying to see that Lord Krishna is
everything.)

You are the one who drags people on troubles,
By creating the feeling of “Me”, in them , Sir.

Why did he not take atleast a fruit,
Was it because rice was not properly cooked,
Was it because of sweetness,
Was it because I did not make balls and feed him,
Was it because I did not make him sit on my lap and fed him,
Was it because I came as a priest

Without any one knowing, you , at this time,
Who played with my soul and made me joyous

Hear this sort of cry of the boy, Krishna becae very sad,
To show us, that he is obedient to whosoever is devoted to him
He forgot all his divinity and that Krishna ate all the offerings
And because of the son of the son of earth became silent
When he put the vessels outside, the servant to whom they will go , stared at them,
Your intelligence, intelligence, and because of your worship, I could not take any food

ആരിതു മാത്ത്ുവാൻ , വാലയ കാരന്ചട , അച്ഛൻ വരചട്ട കാട്ടി തരാം
All the food you sat inside and ate and without seeing you put the vessels out
Who can change this to the servant, let your father come , I will show you
He told like to the boy and then complained to him , to beat and punish him
When the father of the boy started scolding him, the one who rides on garuda , the
guruvayurappa,
Who offered me offerings in the sanctum , do not beat the boy, I only ate it
It was thunderous voice from the sky and all those who heard it were surprised and
became like a pillar
Every body greeted and praised the boy, with the greatness of Krishna in their mind
The boy was Kunjunni of nanmani house, he was our good hero of the story

Due to kindness of god for having told these divine song story,
At least please come in my sleep, save me , hug me and fondle me
