Radha Krishna Yugala Sahasranama - Narada
Once, Brahmarshi Narada approached Bhagavan Maha Deva to endow him with
Shri Krishna Parama Tatwa and the latter commenced the Mantra:
Gopijana vallabha charanaachharanam prapadye:
Bhagavan stated that this Mantra was of Surabhi Rishi, Gayatri was Chhanda, and
Bhagavan Shri Krishna was the relevant Devata. He also said: Prapadyosmi or
May I offer respects. For this Mantra, there was no need to suggest Viniyoga or
application as also Anga Nyasaor alignment with body parts. Only the Mantra is
to be recited and Bhagavan would instantly be with the reciter. After securing the
Mantra from the Guru and practise it with full faith, without thinking much about
the fulfillment of desires in the present time and of what is in store after life; after
all, the joys and sorrows in the current life are dependent of the previous deeds and
the future course is decided by Bhavavan. One has to take shelter from Bhagavan
and worship Him. However:
Gurovajnaam Saadhunam nindaam bhedam Harey Harou,
Veda Nindaam Harernaama balaat paapa sameepatpapa sameehanam/
Artha vaadam Hareynmagni Paakhandam naama samgrahey,
Alasey naastike chaiva Hari naamopa Harimaamopadeshinam/
Naama Vismaranam chaapi Naamyaamaadaramey va cha,
Santyajeydam duratho Vatsa Doshaaneythaansudaaranan/
(Do not try to slander the Guru, never offend Sadhu or the Virtuous, never
differentiate Shiva and Vishnu, never resort to malign Vedas, never act against those
who take the name of Bhagavan, never criticise those who give spiritual discourses,
never spread rumours against devotees, convince and counsel nastiks or atheists,
facilitate those who forget or ignore the existence of Bhagavan- these are the Ten
Principles that should be followed always). One should have the faith that Krishnas
friends, parents, beloved, and followers exist forever and get into the mental-frame
