Sri Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram in Tamil

श्री कृष्ण अष्टोत्तर शतनाम स्तोत्रम्

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

Around the world, and in Tamil

The Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama, the hundred and eight names of Krishna, is loved across the Tamil land, chanted at the Parthasarathy temple in Chennai and in homes on Janmashtami evenings. The names come from the Narada Pancharatra, a garland that gathers Krishna's whole story into a hundred and eight handles for the mind. People chant them for peace, for the wellbeing of children, for protection, or simply out of love. Krishna is adored the world over, at Guruvayur, Udupi, Dwarka and Vrindavan, and through movements like ISKCON and the Chinmaya Mission. Here the same names are set in Tamil script, ready to read and chant in your own letters.

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.
