Krishna Ashtotharam

Krishna Ashtotharam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

  (Among the  human incarnations  of lord Vishnu  , Only  as Lord Krishna we know   about his very mischievous and very entertaining childhood.  Only as Krishna we know him as   the   darling  of several ladies and his love play  . Only as Krishna we know   his  entertaining  methods of   getting people as well as  Asuras killed  .It is possibly the only incarnation where  Krishna is not brought up as a Kshatriya or Brahmana, It is again the only incarnation where   he teaches   us   how   to live   as a great  human being , through his  teaching of Gita  to Arjuna. Because of all this   the most loved   incarnation of Lord Vishnu is as Krishna  . Here is the translation of his 110 names  used to worship him.)
