Musical composition “Intro to the Heaven” by @Sunidhialradha based on ancient Vedic Prayer - Damodarastakam - श्री दामोदराष्टकम Sri Damodarashtaka : found in the Padma Purana of Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, spoken by Satyavrata Muni in a conversation with Narad Muni and Saunaka Rishi Lyrics : namamisvaram sac-cid-ananda-rupam lasat-kundalam gokule bhrajamanam yasoda-bhiyolukalad-dhavamanam paramrstam atyantato drutya gopya Meaning : “I bow down to the supreme controller, Sri Damodara, whose form is the embodiment of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. His glistening earrings swing playfully to and fro upon His cheeks. He manifests super-excellent pastimes in Gokula, stealing fresh butter suspended from the rafters of the gopis’ storerooms. In fear of Mother Yasoda, He jumps down from a wooden grinding mortar and quickly runs away. She runs swiftly after Him and finally catches Him from behind.” namo deva damodarananta visnprasida prabho duhkha-jalabdhi-magnam krpa-drsti-vrstyati-dinam batanu- grhanesa mam ajnam edhy aksi-drsyah “O Damodara! O Lord of divine beauty and unlimited mercy! O all pervading Visnu! I offer my obeisances unto You. May You be pleased with me. I am drowning in an ocean of sorrow and feeling almost dead. Shower Your nectar laden glances upon me, thereby uplifting me and enthusing me with life. Please accept me, O Lord, and become visible before my eyes.”
