Krishna Astakam
/Lord Krishna is considered the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and is often considered as the complete incarnation (purna avatara). His popularity is unparalleled in India, with temples in almost every corner of the country. Explaining his exploits as a young child forms one of the most favourite pastimes of grandparents, who educate their grandchildren of the nature and valour of God. He is also the central character in the Bhagavad Gita, the most important text for most Hindus, where he is teaching his protege Arjuna on the nature of Dharma.
Many teachers have written innumerable essays and poems to share his greatness. Krishnastakam is one such composition by the renowned Adi Sankaracarya that teaches us to surrender to this divine incarnate.
