Naham vasami Vaikunthe...
Lord Vishnu told Narada:
Naaham vasami vaikunthe; Na yogi hridaye ravau;
Yatra madbhaktha gaayanthi; Tatra Thishtthami Narada !!
Meaning:
I reside not in Vaikuntham;
Nor in the hearts of Yogis or Saints;
Nor at the Sun's core;
Wherever my devotees sing (naama sankeerthana);
I cling myself there and embrace (them) !

Neela Megha Shyama...
Introduction
This is one of the 100 stanzas (padyas) composed by the poet, Sri Seshappa Kavi of
Dharmapuri, Karimnagar District, Andhra Pradesh. Seshappa was a staunch devotee
of Lord Narasimha (an incarnation of Lord Vishnu). Each stanza/padyam has six
lines: He composed the first four lines in Seesa padyam and the next two lines in
Thetageethi. This stanza is a manifestation of the devotee to the Lord that the nitya
karmas of a human being are, as also enunciated by Adi Sankaracharya, nothing
other than singing in praise of Lord Narayana ! The devotee, whatever he does,
should envisage just Narayana !
"Neela megha shyama! Neeve thandrivi maaku;
Kamala vasinimammu ganna thalli
Nee bhaktha varulantha nijamaina bandhuvul;
Nee katakshamu maakaneka dhanamu
Nee keerthanalu maaku loka prapanchambu;
Nee sahayamu maaku nithya sukhamu
Nee manthrame maaku nishkalankapu vidya;
Nee pada dhyanambu nithya japamu
Thoyajaathaksha nee paada thusali dalamu ~

Govinda, Madhusoodhana, Narasimha, Jalasayana, Varaha, Raghunandana,
