Sri Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram in Kannada

श्री कृष्ण अष्टोत्तर शतनाम स्तोत्रम्

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

Around the world, and in Kannada

At Udupi, where Madhvacharya enshrined the beloved image of Bala Krishna, the hundred and eight names are part of daily devotion, and across Karnataka the Krishna Ashtottara is chanted in temples, mathas and homes alike. The names come from the Narada Pancharatra, a garland holding the whole of Krishna's story, one name at a time. People turn to them to settle the mind, to ask protection for a child, or simply out of love for the cowherd god. Krishna is adored the world over, at Dwarka and in Vrindavan, and carried everywhere by movements like ISKCON and the Chinmaya Mission. This version sets the same hundred and eight names in Kannada script, so anyone who reads Kannada can chant them with ease.

About the Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram

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.
