In Indian culture, the glory of Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Vishnu is described in many stotras, verses and hymns. One of these famous hymns is –
Achyutam Kesavan Krishnam Damodaran,
Ram Narayan Janaki Vallabham.
Through this verse devotees worship various forms of God.
This shloka teaches us that God is one, but his pastimes and forms are many. Sometimes he becomes Yashoda’s beloved Damodar by becoming a child, sometimes he establishes religion by becoming Maryada Purushottam Ram, and sometimes he protects the universe by becoming Vishnu.
When devotees recite this stotra, their mind remembers all the pastimes and qualities of God. This remembrance gives them devotion, faith and peace.
“Achyutam Keshavam Krishnam Damodaran, Ram Narayanam Janaki Vallabham” is not just a hymn but the entire essence of the glory of God. It tells us that no matter what form God takes – He is our protector, support and true guide.
