The Sacred Shield: Listening to & Chanting Sri Sudarshana Shatkam

The Sri Sudarshana Shatkam is a concise six-verse stotram composed by Sri Kuranarayana Jiyar. It holds a unique place in Vedic literature because each verse explicitly encodes one syllable of the sacred six-letter (Shadakshari) Sudarshana Mantra: “Sa – Ha – Sra – Ra – Hum – Phat”.
