Sri Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram

श्री कृष्ण अष्टोत्तर शतनाम स्तोत्रम्

Narada Pancharatra, Jnanaamritasara, Uma-Maheshwara Samvada Deity: Krishna Metre: Anushtup 26 verses

108 names of Krishna, from the Narada Pancharatra. What makes this stotra special is how the names tell his whole story: the butter-stealing child in Vrindavan, the friend who drove Arjuna's chariot, the teacher who spoke the Gita when it mattered most. You can chant it with a 108-bead mala, one name per bead, and it becomes a kind of meditation without trying. Short enough to do daily, deep enough that you'll still be discovering layers in it years later.

The opening verses are below. The full stotra is in ChantWise.
