Obeisances to Lord Krishna

Obeisances to Lord Krishna
(Excerpts from Sri Gopala-Tapani Upanishad)



1. Obeisances to Lord Govinda, handsome with a peacock-feather crown, identical with Balarama, His
intelligence sharp, and He the swan in the Manasa lake of the goddess of fortune's thoughts.

2. Obeisances to Him, the death of Kamsa and his allies, the killer of Kesi and Canura, the object of worship
for Siva, and the chariot-driver of Arjuna.

3. Obeisances to Him, the cowherd boy fond of playing the flute, the crusher of Kaliya, the person who walks
on the Yamuna's shore and whose earrings gracefully swing to and fro.

4. Obeisances to Sri Krishna, the protector of the surrendered souls. Obeisances to Him, the expert dancer
garlanded with the gopi's lotus glances.

5. Obeisances to Him, the death of sin, the lifter of Govardhana Hill, the end of Putana's life, the thief of
Trnavarta's life.

6. Obeisances to Sri Krishna, decorated with a golden necklace, charming, pure, the enemy of impurity, one
without a second, the greatest.

7. Be kind, O blissful one. Be kind, O Supreme Lord. O Lord, please rescue me, bitten by the snake of
physical and mental pain.

8. O Krishna, O husband of Rukmini, O enchanter of the gopis, O master of the universe, please rescue me,
drowning in the ocean of repeated birth and death.

9. O Kesava, O Narayana, O Govinda, O Janardana, O source of all transcendental bliss, O Lord who
rescues the devotees from distress, O Madhava, please rescue me.

10. Meditating on Lord Krishna, you will transcend the world of birth and death. Therefore, Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should meditate upon Him, glorify Him, serve Him and worship Him. Om tat sat.
