Shri Krishnashtakam by adi shankara <br><br>I

worship the naughty krishna, the sole ornament of vraja,

who destroys all the sins of his devotees, who

delights the minds of his devotees, the joy of nanda,

whose head is adorned with peacock feathers, who holds

a sweet- sounding flute in his hand, and who is the

ocean of the art of love.

<br><br>**************************************************<br>I bow to Krishna

who rid kama deva of his pride,

who has beautifuL large eyes, who takes away the

sorrows of the gopas, the lotus-eyed one. I bow to

Krishna who lifted the govardhana hill with his hand,

whose smile and glance are extremely attractive, who

destroyed the pride of indra, and who is like the king of

elephants.

<br><br>**************************************************<br>I bow to that

Krishna who wears earrings made of

kadambha flowers, who has beautiful cheeks, who is the

only darling of the gopikas of vraja, and who is very

difficult to attain by any means other than BHAKTHI. I bow

to Krishna who is accompanied by gopas, nanda, and

an overjoyed yashoda, who gives his devotees nothing

but happiness, and who is the lord of the gopas.

<br><br>**************************************************<br>I bow to the son

of nanda, who has placed his lotus

feet in my mind and who has beautiful curls of hair. I

adore Krishna who removes all defects, who nourishes

all the worlds and who is desired by all the gopas

and nanda.

<br><br>**************************************************

i bow to Krishna who relieves the burden of the

earth by vanqusihing innumerable demons and other evil

forces, who helps us cross the ocean of miseries, who is

son of yasodha, and who steals the hearts of

everyone. I bow to nanda's son who has extremely attractive

eyes, who is always accompanied by saintly devotees,

and whose pastimes and form appear newer and newer

day by day.

<br>**************************************************<br><br>Krishna is the

repository of all good qualities, all

happiness and grace. he destroys the enemies of the gods

and delights the gopas. I bow to the mischievous

cowherd Krishna, who is attached to his exploits, which

appear new everyday, who has the handsome complexion of

a dark cloud, and who wears a yellow garment

(pitambara) that shines likes lightning.

<br>**************************************************<br>Krishna delights all

the gopas and plays with them in the

center of grove. he appears as respendent and pleasing

as the sun and causes the lotus that is the heart of

the devotee to blossom with joy. I bow to that lord

of the grove of creepers who completely fulfills the

desires of his devotees, whose beautiful glances are like

arrows, and who plays melodious tunes on the flute.

<br>**************************************************<br><br>Krishna lies down

on the bed that is the minds of the

intelligent gopis who always think of him. I adore him who

drank the spreading forest-fire in order to protect the

cowherd community. I bow to Krishna who has eyes which

are made attractive by his boyhood charm and a black

unguent , who liberated the elephant gajendra from the

jaws of the crocodile, and who is the consort of

lakshmi.<br><br>**************************************************<br><br>O LORD

KRISHNA! please bless me so that I MAY SING

YOUR GLORIES AND PASTTIMES, REGARDLESS OF THE POSITION

I AM IN. anyone who studies and recites these

verses will be blessed with devotion to KRISHNA in every

birth.

<br><br>*************************************************<br><br>Sri

krishnarparnamastu!!!!! i bow to the lotus feet

of sri krishna

paramatma!!!!<br><br>**************************************************<br><br>a\

di shankara preached the path of JNANA or knowledge,

but he also acknowledged that bhakthi or devotion

leads to the realization of "brahman

"<br>**************************************************<br>may lord krishna

shower his choicest blessings on you

all!!!!
