About This Stotram
Overview
The Gopala Ashtottara Sata Namavali is a liturgical list of 108 names of Lord Gopala, the cowherd form of Krishna, formatted for use in puja archana. Each name in the namavali identifies a specific attribute or epithet of Krishna drawn from Puranic and Vaishnava sources. The text is used across Vaishnava traditions for the daily or occasional worship of Krishna in his pastoral form.
What are the benefits of chanting Gopala Ashtottara Sata Namavali?
- Provides a structured format for offering worship to Lord Gopala during puja
- Recitation is associated with protection from worldly difficulties
- Fosters devotion to Krishna's Gopala aspect — innocence, divine playfulness, and care
- Said to bring spiritual purification and peace of mind
When is the best time to recite this?
Morning and evening puja are the standard occasions. Janmashtami, when Krishna's birth is celebrated, is the most significant time for this recitation. The namavali is also recited on Ekadashi days and during Krishna-related festivals throughout the year.
What is the historical and traditional background?
The worship of Gopala as a distinct form of Krishna is traceable to the early Puranic period and was further developed by the Bhakti movement, with figures such as Jayadeva and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu deepening its prominence. Ashtottara Sata Namavalis are a common form of devotional compilation in Hinduism, typically drawn from Puranic accounts and the epithets found in praise hymns. The exact date and authorship of this namavali are unknown, but the practice of 108-name recitation is central to Vaishnava worship across multiple sampradayas.
