Sri Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram in Telugu

श्री कृष्ण अष्टोत्तर शतनाम स्तोत्रम्

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

Around the world, and in Telugu

The Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama is a garland of Krishna's hundred and eight names, and Telugu devotees keep it close, especially around Krishna Janmashtami. The names come from the Narada Pancharatra, gathered as a simple way to hold the whole of Krishna's story in the mouth, one name at a time. People chant them for a settled mind, for a child's wellbeing, for protection, or simply out of love for the cowherd god. Krishna is worshipped the world over, at Udupi and Dwarka and in Vrindavan, and carried to every continent by movements like ISKCON and the Chinmaya Mission. This version sets the same hundred and eight names in Telugu script, so you can read and chant them in the letters you know best.

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.
