Dandakrama Parayanam is a powerful and revered form of worship dedicated to Lord Narasimha. The word “Danda” means staff or discipline, “Krama” means sequence, and “Parayanam” means recitation. So, Dandakrama Parayanam refers to a strict, step-by-step chanting of specific verses, usually from sacred texts like the Narasimha Stotram, Narasimha Tapani Upanishad, or traditional Dandakam compositions such as the famous Narasimha Dandakam.
