This mantra is found in the Gopaala-taapanii Upanishad. If memory

serves, it was instructed that one should chant this mantra for

spiritual advancement. I forgot the exact context, but I will try to

dig it up at some point.

Haribol!

 

As far as I know, this mantra is called “the Kama-Bija Mantra” and it was given

to Lord Brahma when he was awaken from his yoga-nidra in order to give him the

knowledge he needed. This is mentioned in the Brahma-Samhita. I do recall that

Srila Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati write in the purport that this mantras function

is twofold:

1- It fulfills the all desires of the one who chant it.

2- It makes him develop love for the Supream Personality of Godhead.

That is what I remember.

 

Thank you,

Dear Devotees, Jaya Srila Prabhupada. I recently attended

a Sudarshana Yajna where the Sudarshana Mantra was chanted. This Mantra Begins

with the " Om Klim Krishnaya Govindaya Gopi Jana Vallabhaya..." Now, does

anyone know the source of this Mantra. I'm sure the mantra has it's source in

one of the Vedas. Hence is the mantra proof enough that the Gopis & their

relation to Krishna is eternal as against the claims by some that the Gopis are

baddha Jivatmas? Can someone shed some light on this? R.Narasimhan.

The mantra is in fact from the Gopaala-taapanii Upanishad. The

Upanishad starts with some sages enquiring from Lord Brahmaa who the

Supreme is. Lord Brahmaa replies quite unequivocally that the Supreme

is Lord Krishna, who is also known by names such

as "Gopijanavallabha" etc. Here are some of the verses of interest:

 

rasya.m punaa rasana.m jalabhuumiindusampaatakaamaadi

kR^iShNaayetyeka.m pada.m govindaayeti dvitiiya.m gopii janeti

tR^itiiya.m svaaheti pa~nchama.m iti || gtu 1.11 ||

 

This mantra shoudl be repeatedly chanted: "kliim krishnaaya

govindaaya gopiijanavallabhaaya svaahaa." (gopaala-taapanii upaniShad

1.11)

 

tad eSha shlokaH |

kliim ityetadaadaavaadaayakR^iShNaayeti govindaayeti cha

gopiijanavallabhaaya bR^ihadbhaanavyaa sakR^id uchcharet |

yaa gatis tasyaasti ma.nkShuna.nyaagatiH syad iti || gtu 1.13 ||

 

A person who even once chants the mantra "kliim krishnaaya govindaaya

gopiijanavallabhaaya svaahaa" quickly attains the association of Lord

Krishna. He does not attain any other result. (gopaala-taapanii

upaniShad 1.13)

 

Please note, the above mantras are shruti mantras and in fact are

probably not meant for general distribution or for chanting by anyone

other than qualified braahmanas. In fact, the context of the verses

suggests that brahmins are the intended audience of these statements.

 

Still, the significance I think, is that we have here a shruti text

describing the Supreme as Lord Krishna, the dearmost of the gopikas,

which should be sufficient to answer Maadhva and Shrii Vaishnava

skeptics who hold that such descriptions are only Puraanic in origin.

How is this mantra appearing in the translation when

it is not in the original Sanskrit? Otherwise what is

the proper translation of this verse?

This makes more sense since the mantra appears in the

original Sanskrit.

Based on context. The verses quoted are only discussing this mantra.

If you look at the entire Gopaala-taapanii, it is obvious. Try

getting a copy - the Gaudiya Math publishes one in their "Twelve

Essential Upanishads" series (I think it is in volume 4). Kushakratha

has also published one, which is available from Krishna Institute.
