Origin & Story

Traditional Vaishnava nama-mahima verse (recited in the Vishnu-smarana / Sahasranama tradition) · Traditional · Puranic / classical

Among the verses praising the glory of the holy name (nama-mahima) in the Vaishnava tradition, this short shloka is one of the best known for the purpose of healing. It distills the conviction, repeated throughout the Puranas, that the names of the Lord are not ordinary sound but possess the power of the Lord Himself. By calling the names a 'bheshaja' (medicine) and swearing twice that it is true, the verse offers the suffering a remedy of pure faith. It is commonly chanted at sickbeds and during recovery.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees recount that when ordinary remedies failed, repeated chanting of 'Achyutananta Govinda' at the bedside brought calm, restful sleep and gradual recovery — the rishi's double oath 'satyam satyam' standing as a promise that the holy name never fails the one who trusts it.
