Mukunda-Mālā-Stotra: The Prayers of King Kulaśekhara
A call to freedom...The saintly king Kulaśekhara lived more than a millenium ago in India, yet his Mukunda-Mālā-Stotra speaks to us today with the fresh voice of eternal truth. It is the voice of a realized soul beseeching the Lord - and us - with the utmost sincerity. The first part of the Mukunda-Mālā-Stotra contains the commentary of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, recognised by scholars and spiritual leaders worldwide as the most distinguished teacher of Indian culture and philosophy of the modern age. The latter part contains commentary by Satsvarupa dāsa Goswami, one of Srila Prabhupādas senior disciples and the author of more than two dozen books on devotional life.

About the author
A.C. Bhaktivedanta
384 books725 followersHis Divine Grace Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (अभय चरणारविन्द भक्तिवेदान्त स्वामी प्रभुपाद)was born as Abhay Charan De on 1 September 1896 in Calcutta, India.
He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami, in Calcutta in 1922. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent devotional scholar and the founder of sixty-four branches of Gaudiya Mathas (Vedic institutes), liked this educated young man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic knowledge in the Western world. Srila Prabhupada became his student, and eleven years later (1933) at Allahabad, he became his formally initiated disciple.
At their first meeting, in 1922, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura requested Srila Prabhupada to broadcast Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years that followed, Srila Prabhupada wrote a commentary on the Bhagavad-gita and in 1944, without assistance, started an English fortnightly magazine.
In the last ten years of his life, in spite of his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe twelve times on lecture tours that have took him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture.
