Sri Radha Krishnashtakam – Lyrics and Meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who is eulogized by Lord Bhrama, he is the admired by the clan of Yadhu, and he has elder brother Balarama.   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who destroyed the demon Bakan, he is the protector of cowherds of Vraja, he guides us to safely cross the unfathomable ocean of Samsara.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who crushed the pride of Lord Indhra and ego of Lord Bhrama, he enticed the hearts of cowherds with his various childhood pranks.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who is decked in feathers of peacock, he conquered the untamed elephant Kuvalayapeedam and killed wicked Kamsa.    I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who blessed the wives of Sages and Rishis/Viprapathni, he was tied into the mortar pestle by his mother Yasodha, and he brought the sacred Parijatha tree from the world of celestial to Earth.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radharani, who removed the illusion of Arjuna, he destroyed numerous warriors in the battle field, and he destroyed the grief of Bhishmapithamaha.   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radhikarani, who was the cause for the curse of Sages in that way destruction of clan of Yadhu was taken place, and ultimately removed the burden of Mother Earth.    I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Krishna along with Radhikarani, who took seat under the shade of tree, thus provided Moksha to the hunter, and eventually returned to his heavenly abode of Sri Vaikundham. 

Whoever reads or listens to the Sri Radha Krishna Ashtakam with faith and devotion would be freed from repeated births, illnesses and ultimately attain salvation.
