Narayaneeyam Day : Tomorrow

Narayaneeyam Day is celebrated on 28th day of Malayalam month Vrishchikam. Narayaneeyam is the condensed form of Srimad Bhagavatam, written by Narayana Bhattatiri without leaving any essence of Bhagavatam & was submitted to Guruvayurappan on this day


Bhattatiri was a great devotee & scholar who lived in Guruvayur in Kerala. Narayana Bhattathiri had a Guru, Achyuta pisharadi, who had a severe attack of Rheumatism. Bhattathiri & with his prayers transferred guru's illness to him. Once, when Bhattathiri was unable to move, he


was carried to Guruvayur temple,
where he met Ezhuthachan, eminent  Malayalam  poet of the time. Ezhuthachan advised Bhattathiri to "begin the treatment with fish" Bhattathiri understood that he would be cured if he compose avatar of Vishnu starting with the fish, known as Matsya


Srimad Bhaghavatam which consists of 18000 sloka was condensed to 1034 slokas. He was 27 year old when Bhattadiri wrote Narayaneeyam. Thus on 100th day he was completely cured of illness. Particular Sloka of Narayaneeyam (Dasakam 8, Sloka 13) is a very powerful & also advised by


Sri Kanchi Maha Periyava for curing any illness. If one cannot recite Narayaneeyam completely are adviced to chant this sloka 21 times daily.

अनन्तभूमा मम रोगराशिं
निरुन्धि वातालयवास विष्णो ॥

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
