Mukunda-mala-stotram: Commentary on Kulasekhara Alvar's Offering of Love and Surrender
A king who had everything turned his face toward God and never looked back. This is his prayer.
The Mukunda Mala Stotram is one of the most cherished devotional prayers in the Vaishnava tradition, composed by King Kulashekhara — the seventh of the twelve Alvars, the mystic bhakti saints of South India whose lives and songs helped ignite a revival of devotion that shaped the entire Sri Sampradaya. At its heart, this prayer is a cry of surrender — a celebration of sharanagati, the complete and willing offering of oneself to the Lord. King Kulashekhara speaks honestly of the soul's condition in this world, its trials and its longing, and turns that longing into an unceasing plea to Mukunda — the Lord as the granter of liberation.
Accompanied by the commentary of Paramahamsa Vishwananda, each verse is illuminated with the insight of a God-realised Master who has walked the path of devotion all the way through. For any sincere Vaishnava — or any seeker who has ever felt the weight of this world and the pull of something higher — this book is an essential companion.
