Govindam Adi Purusham
IDoBhakti"Govindam Adi Purusham" is a profound Sanskrit prayer from the Brahma Samhita, glorifying Lord Govinda (Krishna) as the original and supreme person. It beautifully describes His eternal, blissful form and His divine activities as the source of all creation. Chanting this stotra invokes deep devotion and reveals Krishna’s majestic and personal nature to the soul.

Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam

Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami

Translation
(1) I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept in playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus petals, His head decked with peacock feathers, the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds, His unique loveliness charming millions of cupids.
(2) I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth, and substantiality and is thus full of the most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses in Himself the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees, maintains, and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane.
