Achyutam Keshavam
Prayer text
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।
कौन कहते हैं भगवान आते नहीं,
तुम मीरा के जैसे बुलाते नहीं ।
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।
कौन कहते हैं भगवान खाते नहीं,
बेर शबरी के जैसे खिलाते नहीं ।
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।
कौन कहते हैं भगवान सोते नहीं,
माँ यशोदा के जैसे सुलाते नहीं ।
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।
कौन कहते हैं भगवान नाचते नहीं,
गोपियों की तरह तुम नचाते नहीं ।
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।
नाम जपते चलो काम करते चलो,
हर समय कृष्ण का ध्यान करते चलो ।
अच्युतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी वल्लभम् ।

Meaning
Refrain: I worship the imperishable one — Achyuta, Keshava, Krishna Damodara, Rama Narayana, the beloved of Janaki (Sita).
Who says God does not come? You do not call him the way Meera did.
Who says God does not eat? You do not offer him food the way Shabari did.
Who says God does not sleep? You do not lull him to sleep the way Mother Yashoda did.
Who says God does not dance? You do not make him dance the way the gopis did.
Keep chanting his name as you go about your work; keep Krishna in your thoughts at all times — his memory will return to you, and one day he will surely grant you his vision.
