Overview

The Sri Hayagriva Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram is a hymn consisting of 108 names of Lord Hayagriva, a form of Lord Vishnu who is revered as the God of knowledge, wisdom, and learning.

The Dhyana Sloka (meditation verse) at the beginning of the stotram describes Lord Hayagriva as the embodiment of knowledge and bliss, with a crystal-clear form, and the support of all knowledge.

The subsequent stotram includes 108 names of Lord Hayagriva, each name describing a particular aspect or quality of the deity. The stotram praises Lord Hayagriva as the all-pervading God who is the source of all knowledge, the protector of the universe, the eternal and primordial being, the embodiment of pure consciousness, and the bestower of all goodness and blessings. Lord Hayagriva is also described as the destroyer of ignorance and the granter of spiritual enlightenment and liberation.

This stotram is considered very auspicious and is chanted by devotees seeking knowledge, wisdom, and success in their pursuits.
