Govinda Stotram Composed by Shri Kalyani Devi

As promised yesterday, during Margasheersha Masa I will post each and everyday about Lord Krishna. What better way to post a Stotra on Lord Krishna and written by none other than Acharya Madhva’s sister Shri Kalyani Devi.

Inspired by Sri Acharya, Sri Madhwacharya’s brother Vishnu Theertha and sister Kalyani Devi authored works to spread the Dwaitha philosophy. Like Vishnu Theertha, Kalyani Devi was a scholar and had received her education from her Father in Shastras and other religious works. It is believed that her father was her first teacher, and that her brother Sri Madhwacharya subsequently influenced her.

A very simple and easy stotra which can be recited everyday. Even the video I have posted is just around 90 seconds.
