Narayana suktam (नारायणसूक्तम्) with lyrics and meaning
The Narayana Suktam is a hymn in Yajurveda. Some commentators see it as a mystical appendix to the Purusha suktam. Narayana, in Hinduism, is considered as thousand-headed one, thousand-eyed, and thousand-limbed and this hymn is a sung to worship Narayana, the universal Self which is identified with the Trimurti, the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
This Suktam explains about meditation. Before meditation, one has to recite this and contemplate on the meaning, which in turn helps in going into deep meditation. Initially the first few lines talk of God’s glory and later it describes about where to meditate and how to meditate. It is explained in a step-by-step process about how to direct one’s mind during meditation.
