Sri Krishna Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||








I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Krishna who has the complexion of dark clouds, he is attired in majestic yellow garments, he is the symbol of eternal bliss, he is most attractive, he is unblemished and beyond perception.    He is Rahavallabha/darling of Radharani, he is the son of Yasodha, and he is venerated by Radharani, and dwells on the chest of Radharani.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna who is passionate follower of Radharani, he is inseparable from Radharani, he dwells in the heart of Radharani, he is the safe haven of Radharani, and he is the ultimate resting place for all the living beings from the perils and sorrows of Samsara.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna who dwells in the lotus like heart of Radharani, he is the symbol of auspiciousness, he enthusiastically explore through the woods with Radharani, he is the sincere follower of the command of Radharani.  I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Krishna who is meditated by Yogis through strict Yogic practices and Siddhas through various super natural powers, he is unblemished and divine, and he is eternal.  I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Krishna who is  worshiped by Lord Bhrama and all the deities, he is beyond Thrigunas, he is absolute  Bhramam and eternal, he is the symbol of eternal bliss, he has no desires, he is omnipresent, he is eternal truth, he is attainable to supreme Yogis, he is the cause of Universe and its living beings, he has various incarnations with reasons for the welfare of the Universe and its living beings, he is the symbol of sacred Veda, he is the cause and essence of Veda, his  glorious myths are beyond description even the Vedas are incompetent to describe the same.
