LYRICS: Om Narayanaya vidmahe Vasudevaya dhimahi Tanno Vishnuh pracodayat Vishnu gayatri Vamana Buddha Rama Krishna Parasurama Narasingha… Om Anandanaya, Om Anandanaya Om Narayana Narayana Vasudeva Om Narayana Narayana Vasudeva Narayanaya Om Namo Narayanaya… SONG NOTES: This song honors Vishnu, the All-Pervading One, the one who supports, sustains, and preserves the entire universe. This song contains the powerful Vishnu Gayatri (or Narayan Gayatri) from the Maha Narayan Upanishad: Om narayanaya vidmahe vasudevaya dhimahi tanno vishnuh pracodayat. It can be used to develop sustaining power. “Narayanaya” is Vishnu, the Lord of life; “vidmahe” tells us to hold this devotion in our hearts; “Vasudevaya” is the Supreme Divine One within; dhimahi” is to meditate (on Vasudevaya). And thus through this meditation and devotion, “tanno vishnuh pracodayat”, this Supreme Divine One will enlighten us. The “360” in the song title is used to indicate Vishnu’s all-pervasive governance, one that is 360 degrees, extending full circle to embrace all of creation. When imbalance occurs in our world, Vishnu is said to descend as an incarnation to earth. Six of his incarnations are named in this song: Narasingha (4th), Vamana (5th), Parasurama (6th), Rama (7th), Krishna (8th), Buddha (9th). It is believed that ten such incarnations of Vishnu will occur, nine of which have already taken place. The tenth is yet to come. © 2012 Prosperity Matters, LLC.
