HH BB Govinda Swami & Akincana Prabhu - Nityananda Trayodashi Abhishek Kirtan - 14.2.22

The verses of the Dāmodarāṣṭaka in the Padma Purāṇa describe Lord Kṛṣṇa's early childhood pastime when He ran from mother Yaśodā who was trying to punish Him for stealing butter from the gopīs, the cowherd damesels of Vṛndāvana.

For the special month of Karttika, devotees around the world sing these prayers every day. Each verse describes various exceptional qualities of Kṛṣṇa, also known as Dāmodara. Sing along with the lyrics below beautifully sung by Nirañjana Mahārāja.

I'm dedicating this makeshift recording with a crumbly voice to Srimati Ananda Kishori Devi Dasi of Oxford, hoping she may be able to listen to this prayer for residence at Govardhan Hill, and hoping it may help her prepare, in her last days with us, to 'advance across the great river' (as the ancient Chinese would say)to Lord Sri Krishna's eternal shelter.
