His nose is decorated with a Shining pearl, the palms are gently holding a flute, the hands are beautifully decorated with bracelets. His whole body is beautifully smeared with sandal paste and His neck is decorated with a necklace of pearls. He is surrounded by the cowherd woman and is Shining in amongst them as a jewel of Gopala (cowherd) on the Head. I bow to Lord Krishna, the guru of the entire universe. Salutations to that Lord Krishna who killed the demons - the enemies of the Gods. This world has originated from Him and rests on Him. I am His servant. O Lord Krishna! Please protect me. ------------------------------------------------------ Voice: Anjali Kadri
