Shri Yamunashtakam in Diffrant Ragas withScript Explained in Gujarati & English inc. FREE CD Rendered Traditionally

In V.S. 1548 at the age of 13 years, Shri Mahaprabhuji arrived in Mathura during his first global tour; he resided at Vishram Ghat on the bank of Yamuna River. At this time he formed Shri Yamunashtakam, which described Shri Yamunaji’s divine description in "Pruthvi Chhand."

In Yamunashtakam’s first eight Shlokas, Shri Mahaprabhuji describes Shri Yamunaji’s eight fold powers, its divine & wonderful idol and her divine qualities. Shri Yamunaji is the daughter of divine Sun. Her purpose for coming to earth from heaven through Kalind Mountain was to bless her devotees. Her physical state as a river is also very attractive and charming. She is so kind that even she blesses evil spirited people.

Shri Yamunaji blessed her devotees with eight fold powers. If some evil person drank water from Yamuna River to quench thirst, she blessed that person also. So, if we pray her with knowledge and understanding, we should not be surprised if she blessed us too. One of the examples from Shri Mahaprabhuji’s 84 Vaishnavas was of Kishoribai. Kishoribai was chanting only two lines from Yamunashtakam with full faith. Shri Yamunaji blessed her with all divine fruits.
