Brahma SamhitaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brahma Sahitis a Sanskrit Pacartra text, composed of verses ofprayer spoken by Brahma glorifying the supreme Lord Ka or Govinda atthe beginning of creation. It is revered within Gauiya Vaiavism, whose

founder, Caitanya Mahprabhu (14861534), re-discovered a part of thework, the 62 verses of Chapter 5, at the Adikeshav Temple in Thiruvattar,Tamil Nadu, South India in the 16th Century which had previously been lost

for a few centuries.[1]Mitsunori Matsubara in his Pacartra Sahits andEarly Vaisava Theologydates the text at ca 1300 AD. The text contains ahighly esoteric description, with the Kma-Gyati, of Ka in His abodeGoloka.

In 1970, George Harrison produced a modern recording of these prayersperformed by devotees of the Rdhe Ka Temple in London. Titled

"Govinda", the song took its title from the main chorus line of the prayer"govindam di-puruam tam aha bhajmi", meaning "I worshipGovinda, the primeval Lord". This prayer was sung by Yamun Devi, adisciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda.

Ka who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all.

He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes.[2]

The text was first translated from Sanskrit into English by Bhakti Siddhnta Sarasvat hkura in 1932and is often sung or recited as a both devotional and philosophical text.
