Origin & History
Source: The beej mantra of Lord Krishna
Author: Traditional (Vedic / Puranic)
"Om Kleem Krishnaya Namah" is the seed mantra of Lord Krishna — the all-attractive Lord of love and the eighth avatar of Vishnu. Its beej "Kleem", the syllable of divine attraction, makes it a mantra of Krishna's sweetness and grace. Devotees have long chanted it to deepen their bhakti, to bless their relationships, and to taste the joy that the Lord of Vrindavan freely gives.
