Namagiri Thayar Stotram
Namagiri Thayar Stotram
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[This prayer is addressed to Goddess Namagiri, the goddess in the Lakshmi
Narasimha Swamy temple at Namakkal in Tamil Nadu. The mathematical genius Dr.
Srinivasa Ramanujam belonged to this place and considered that his knowledge of
Mathematics was due to the grace of this goddess. He was fond of chanting the
following stotra. Devotees believe that chanting this stota would make you
strong in Mathematics. The original stotra in Tamil is available at:

Salutations to the goddess who is blessed as one who proclaims the gem like Sri
Vidhya Manthra,
Who fulfils the desire of power, who is considered as all the Gods,
Who is praised by all devas, who is the queen of all empires,
Who is Lakshmi, Who has within her all Vedas, who is learned and intelligent,
Who wishes for the good of the universe, who is the pure one who wishes for
welfare of the world,
Who is one with all the good in her and who stays on the chest of Vishnu.
