🪔Damodar Ashtakam 🪔 🌸 I bow to Lord Damodara 💥        the eternal form of truth and bliss       He shines with beautiful earrings       gloriously present in Gokul 🌺 He runs after breaking the butter pot🌺      afraid yet innocent like a child      Caught gently by Mother Yashoda       bound only by her loving devotion 🪔 His playful childhood pastimes 🪻      fill devotees’ hearts with divine joy     They show that the Supreme Lord     is conquered only by pure love 🌹 O Lord, I ask not for liberation 🌻       nor for any worldly blessing     Let Your sweet form as Gopal    always remain within my heart 🌸 Your lotus-like face is very beautiful🌷       surrounded by soft dark curls       Again and again kissed by Yashoda     Your red lips enchant my mind 🥀 O Lord Damodara...
