The Dvādaśākṣari-mantra is a very special mantra in honour of Lord Visnu. It was a mantra taught by Sage Nārada to a young boy called Dhruva. Being distraught because of the ill-treatment received by his mother, Dhruva starts his penance on Lord Viṣṇu using this mantra that was initiated to him. So pleased with his devotion Viṣṇu blesses him to be remembered eternally. Hence the Pole Star is named after Dhruva and called Dhruva-nakṣatra.

Please enjoy it and listen to it about twelve times in the morning and evening, with an open heart.
