Sri Vatapuranatha Ashtakam (hymn to Guruvayurappan) · Mahamahopadhyaya Brahmasri Ganapati Sastri · Modern (composed at Guruvayur)
This ashtakam was composed by the great Sanskrit savant Mahamahopadhyaya Ganapati Sastri during his stay at the Guruvayur temple in Kerala, overwhelmed by the beauty of Lord Guruvayurappan. Set in an intricate, musical metre, its eight verses describe the Lord's jasmine-soft smile, His cloud-dark form, His childhood sports, and His grace as protector and healer of His devotees, each verse ending with the loving instruction to enshrine Him in the heart-lotus.

Guruvayur is renowned for miraculous cures: the saint-poet Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri is said to have been freed of crippling paralysis by composing the Narayaniyam before Guruvayurappan, and countless devotees through the centuries have reported the Lord of Vatapura healing their ailments when they took refuge in Him.
