Kulashekhara Maharaja was a Chakravartin (a sage-king) and one of the twelve saintly Alvars of the ancient Vaishnava tradition. He was born in 2075 BC. His famous written work is the Mukunda Mala Stotra, a highly devotional hymn dedicated to Bhagavan Sri Krishna. This livestream/satsangha is the first installment of a series of commentaries on this important work delivered by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya. It will be followed by a Q&A.
"O mortal beings, you have submerged yourselves fully in the ocean of material existence, which is filled with the waves of misfortune. Please hear as I briefly tell you how to attain your supreme benefit. Just put aside your various attempts at gaining knowledge and instead begin constantly meditating upon the mantra Aum Namo Nārāyaṇāya and bowing down to the Lord." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 16)
"Our master, the Supreme (pare) Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa, who alone rules the three worlds, whom one can serve in meditation, and who happily shares His personal domain, is manifest before us. Yet still we beg for the service of some minor lord of a few villages, some lowly man who can only meagerly reward us. Alas, what foolish wretches we are!" (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 17)
"O lotus-eyed Lord, please sustain our lives as we constantly relish the nectar of meditating on Your lotus feet, with our palms prayerfully joined, our heads bowed down, our bodily hair standing up in jubilation, our voices choked with emotion, and our eyes flowing with tears." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 18)
