Hindu Healing Mantra

The Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotra is a Mantra recited before taking medicines. This is the Mantra for protection from Vishnu, who is in Hindu culture and religion the Protective or preserving force of the Universe.

This Stotra lists 12 names of Vishnu which if remembered on walking up in the morning frees one from all obstacles and sins and ultimately be one with Vishnu.

Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotra
Oushade chinthaye vishnum bhojane cha janardhanam l
Sayane padmanabham cha vivahe cha prajapathim ll
Yuddhe chakradharam devam pravase cha trivikramam l
Narayanam thanu thyage sreedharam priya sangame ll
Duswapne smara govindam sankate madhu sudhanam l
Kanane narasimham cha pavake jalasayinam ll
Jalamadhye varaham cha parvathe raghu nandanam l
Gamane vamanam chaiva sarva karyeshu madhavam ll
Shodasaithani naamani prathar uthaaya ya padeth l
Sarva papa vinirmuktho vishnu lokam samopnuyath ll

Translated by P.R.Ramachander
Think him as Vishnu while taking medicine,
As Janardhana while eating food,
As Padmanabha while in bed,
As Prajapathi at time of marriage,
As Chakra dhara while engaged in war,
As Trivikrama while on travel,
As Narayana on death bed,
As Sreedhara while meeting with the beloved,
As Govinda while tossing with bad dreams,
As Madhu sudhana while in trouble,
As Narasimha while in the forest,
As Jala Sayina while fire is ravaging,
As Varaha while struggling in water,
As Raghu nandana while lost in a mountain,
As Vamana while on the move,
And as Madhava while doing everything.
As soon as one wakes up in the morn,
If these twelve names are read,
He would be bereft of all sins,
And reach the world of Vishnu at the end.

बिष्णु षोडश नाम स्तोत्र
औषधेचिन्तयेद्विष्णुं भोजने च जनार्दनम् । शयने पद्मनाभं च विवाहे च प्रजापतिम् ॥
युद्धे चक्रधरं देवं प्रवासे च त्रिविक्रमम् । नारायणं तनुत्यागे श्रीधरं प्रियसंगमे ॥
दु:स्वप्ने स्मर गोविन्दं संकटे मधुसूदनम् । कानने नारसिंहं च पावके जलशायिनम् ॥
जलमध्ये वराहं च पर्वते रघुनन्दनम् । गमने वामनं चैव सर्वकार्येषु माधवम् ॥
षोडशैतानि नामानि प्रातरुत्थाय य: पठेत् । सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तो विष्णुलोके महीयते ॥
