About this stotra

Bhagavan Manasa Puja is a hymn attributed to Sri Adi Shankaracharya for worshipping Lord Krishna entirely in the mind. Without external materials, the devotee invites Krishna to the heart-lotus and offers padya, snana, garments, food, flowers, lamps, and prostration in imagination.

The stotra has eleven authentic verses. It is said to have arisen from the wish of Manikarnika and grants Krishna's grace to the wise who perform it at dawn.
