Contesto
Stotra Nidhi pubblica una Krishna Ashtottara Shatanamavali, e 88 dei 108 nomi qui presentati concordano con il suo testo; gli altri differiscono nella formulazione o nell'ordine, come accade tra le recensioni di simili elenchi, e nessuna scrittura è indicata come sua fonte. I nomi, numerati da 1 a 108, procedono dall'infanzia di Krishna a Gokula e Vrindavana (Govardhanadhara, n. 46) fino al suo ruolo di auriga di Arjuna (Parthasarathi, n. 89) e di maestro della Bhagavad Gita. Recitarli con foglie di tulasi a Janmashtami e nel culto quotidiano è una pratica devozionale diffusa.
Lo sapevi?
Il sollevamento del monte Govardhana
Il nome 46 (Govardhanadhara) ricorda il Krishna di sette anni che per sette giorni e sette notti sollevò l’enorme montagna con il mignolo della mano sinistra, per proteggere gli abitanti di Vraja dalle tempeste torrenziali di Indra.
Il segreto del flauto (Venunada)
Il nome 84 (Venunadavisharada) celebra il flauto incantevole di Krishna, che rappresenta in modo allegorico l’ego umano svuotato, attraverso cui il Respiro Divino suona il canto dell’amore cosmico.
La compassione dell’auriga (Parthasarathi)
Il nome 89 (Parthasarathaye) mette in luce il supremo Signore che si umilia per guidare il carro di Arjuna, rivelando che la Verità suprema è sempre subordinata al puro amore e alla rettitudine.
La liberazione di Putana
Il nome 17 (Putanajivitahara) esprime la suprema misericordia di Krishna, che concesse alla demone Putana la dignità elevata di madre adottiva nel regno spirituale, nonostante ella avesse tentato di avvelenarlo.
Il mistero di Damodara
Il nome 93 (Damodara) ricorda Yashoda che legò con delle corde il piccolo Krishna alla vita, a indicare che l’Assoluto infinito può essere legato solo dai lacci puri e disinteressati dell’amore e della devozione materna.
