kāliya kṛtā kṛṣṇa stòtram

This profound hymn is found within the tenth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, capturing the moment the serpent Kaliya surrendered to Lord Krishna after being subdued in the Yamuna river. Composed by the serpent Kaliya, the stotra beautifully acknowledges the supreme, infinite, and transcendental nature of the Lord. By chanting this prayer, devotees seek to purge the toxic ego and delusions from their hearts, much like the venom was expelled from the serpent. It serves as a powerful testament to the Lord's infinite mercy, offering spiritual liberation, humility, and the cleansing of one's consciousness through sincere surrender.
