Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Lyrics – Sonu Nigam, Osman Mir | Maharaj

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Song Description

This bhajan "Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram" is a very beautiful and heart-touching devotional song from Netflix India's movie "Maharaj". Its music video features the great singer Sonu Nigam, who has sung it in collaboration with Osman Mir. Music director Sohail Sen has presented this traditional bhajan in a new style, while the lyrics are based on old traditional Sanskrit verses. This song praises Lord Vishnu and his incarnations like Krishna and Rama. In the beginning, there are core mantras like "Karaar Vinde Na Padaar Vindam" which depict the divine image of the Lord. Then, in the main section, there is the chant of "Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram" and "Raam Naaraayanam Jaanaki Vallabham", which reminds one of the various names and forms of God. 

In the later part of this bhajan, a question is asked: "Kaun kehte hain? Bhagwan aate nahin" (Who says God does not come?). This reminds us of the devotion of Meera Bai, that if called like Meera did, God certainly comes. Then there is a second question: "Kaun kehte hain? Bhagwan sote nahin" (Who says God does not sleep?). This illustrates the sweet story of Mother Yashoda and child Krishna, that just as Yashoda Maiya used to put Krishna to sleep, similarly the Lord rests with the love of a devotee. This entire bhajan gives the message of devotion and faith, that while chanting the names, singing "Krishna, Govind, Gopal", one should keep doing one's work. 

Finally, this song gives an assurance that if remembered with a true heart, the vision of the Lord will definitely happen one day. And the song concludes with the cheers of "Govind Bolo, Hari-Gopal Bolo" and "Radha-Raman, Hari-Gopal Bolo", which fills the listener's heart with divine enthusiasm and peace. Sonu Nigam's voice has given a new life to this traditional bhajan, which is appealing equally to modern audiences and devotees alike. And through Netflix India, this song is reaching people all over the world.
