Siksastakam (1)

[Let there be supreme victory for the chanting of the holy name of Sri Krsna, which cleanses the mirror of the heart and completely extinguishes the blazing forest fire of material existence. Sri-krsna-sankirtanam diffuses the soothing moon rays of bhava which cause the while lotus of good fortune for the jivas to bloom. The holy name is the life and soul of transcendental knowledge, since Vidya (Divya Sarasvati-devi, who awards divine knowlege) is Sri Nama Prabhu’s consort. It continuously increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, enabling one to taste complete nectar at every step. The holy name thoroughly bathes and cools the body, mind and soul.]
