Ramesh Krishnakumar's video: Sri Damodara Ashtakam Full with English Translations

Padma Purana - Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, Expounded by Satyavrata Muni in a conversation with Narada Muni and Saunaka Rishi as below In the month of Kartika one should worship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer known as Damodarashtaka, which attracts Lord Damodara. (Sri Hari-bhakti-vilasa 2.16.198) This octet is a beautiful composition on the transcendental pastimes of Krishna as a child instilling devotional love in all, Uurjavrta is observed in month of Kartik. There is a specific program for temple worship of the Lord in His Damodara form. Damodara refers to Krishna being bound with rope by His mother Yashoda. It is said that just as Lord Damodar is very dear to His devotees. So the month known as Damodar or Kartik is also dear to them In this Ashtakam, there is reference to child Krishna’s liberation of Kubera’s sons after they displayed extreme devotional love to Krishna…they having earned the curse from Sage Narada for avoidable mirth. Krishna liberated them while he was tied to a grinding stone!
