How to Chant कायेन वाचा मनसेन्द्रियैर्वा
Instructions
Recite this single verse with folded hands and a humble heart after completing any activity, mentally placing the fruit of that action at the feet of Lord Narayana. Many recite it after daily puja and after meals. The key word is 'samarpayami' — 'I offer' — so let the feeling of giving everything to God accompany the words rather than mere repetition.
Spiritual Significance
It is traditionally taught that one who sincerely offers all deeds to Narayana with this verse is never bound by the reactions of those deeds — good or bad karma alike is consumed in the fire of surrender, just as the Yogendras promised King Nimi that such a soul crosses beyond all illusion.
Origin & History
Source: Srimad Bhagavata Purana, Canto 11, Chapter 2, Verse 36
Author: Veda Vyasa (spoken by the Yogendra Karabhajana / the sages to King Nimi)
In the eleventh canto of the Srimad Bhagavata, King Nimi questions the nine great sages known as the Nava-Yogendras, sons of Rishabhadeva, about the path of devotion. Among their teachings on bhagavata-dharma comes this verse, prescribing total dedication of all one's faculties and deeds to Narayana. Over the centuries it became the standard verse of self-surrender across Vaishnava sampradayas and is among the most widely chanted closing prayers in Hindu worship.
