This story of naamamaahatmyam is again about Kurooramma and Vilwamangalam. Once a man with severe stomach ache came to see Vilawamangalam. He told Vilwamangalam about his severe pain and asked him how he could find some relief. Vilwamanagalam is a great devotee of Guruvayurappan and also he had good knowledge in Jyothisham or astrology. So, taking into consideration of the sick person's star and time, he told him:
"your time is not very good. What ever you do, your praarabdha karma (karmas of the past whose results are ripe enough to be experienced) shows that you have to go through this difficult phase for the next six months. Of course I suggest that you pray Guruvayurappan sincerely and wait until the kaalam or time is in your favor. Guruvayurappan's blessings will give you strength to face the difficult time. There is nothing that you can do to erase the praarabdha karma. Poor man! He was very sad and started praying Guruvayurappan.
His pain was increasing day by day and then one day he happened to see Kurooramma . So he asked her how he could get some relief from the excruciating stomach pain. Kurooramma told emphatically:
"Do naama japam continuously. If you chant naamam with bhakthi all the time your pain will definitely disappear. Please do it all the time except when you are sleeping. There is no restrictions to follow for chanting Bhagavat naamam. So do it everyday as many times as you can."
This man felt a little better and started chanting naamam all the time. He was continuously meditating on Krishna and chanted naamam with all sincerity. In a few week's time his pain was completely gone. He came to Vilwamangalam who was sitting near the sreekovil of Guruvayurappan and told him that he was completely cured. Vilwamangalam asked:
"How? What medicine did you take?"
He told him that as per Kurooramma's advice he chanted Naaraayana naamam for a week and he was cured. After that he prayed Guruvayurappan and left.
Then Vilwamangalam asked Guruvayurappan:
" Guruvayurappa, you made me a fool. I saw his Jaathakam or horoscope and it clearly showed that he had to go through the results of his praarabdha karma for the next six months. I did not say a lie and now my words have become meaningless. I do not understand my mistake".
Then from the sreekovil, Guruvayurappan said:
" Vilwamangalam, I did not say any where that naamajapam cannot nullify the negative effects prarabdhakarmas. Kurooramma knew the greatness of naamam in Kaliyuga."

Naamasmaranam removes even the praabdha karma phalam.
