गोविंदाष्टकम स्तोत्र (आदि शंकराचार्य कृत श्री कृष्ण स्तुति) - Govinda Ashtakam Stotram Sanskrit Lyrics by Adi Shankaracharya
Chant the Govindashtakam Stotra (श्री गोविन्दाष्टकम्) composed by Adi Shankaracharya, a profound devotional hymn praising Krishna as Govinda, Madhava, Vishnu, and the supreme source of bliss (Paramananda). This powerful Krishna stotra beautifully blends Vedantic philosophy with the divine pastimes of Krishna in Vrindavan, describing the Lord as the eternal truth (Satya), infinite consciousness (Jnana), and the cosmic reality beyond form and illusion. The verses celebrate beloved Krishna leelas such as lifting Govardhan Hill, dancing on Kaliya, and enchanting the Gopis of Gokul, while simultaneously revealing him as the supreme Brahman worshipped by sages and seekers of liberation. Reciting Govindashtakam daily—especially during Krishna devotion, Janmashtami, Ekadashi, or meditation on Vishnu—is believed to purify the mind, deepen bhakti (devotion), remove sins and karmic obstacles, and guide the devotee toward spiritual wisdom, inner peace, and moksha. This timeless hymn is ideal for devotees seeking the grace of Krishna Govinda, divine joy, and the realization of the Supreme within the heart. Lyrics in Hindi, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Russian.
