The Stavamrta Lahari, or the “Waves of Hymns of Nectar” is a well known book by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura. This work contains many “astakam” or “collection of eight prayers” worshipping different forms of Lord Krsna and Lord Caitanya. Few writings such as the Gurudevastakam and Vrndadevyastakam are well known to the Vaisnava community. There are twenty songs in the original Stavamrta Lahari, as shown below. There are five additional songs which have been included later, such as the Nikunja Keli Virudavali and the Rupa Cintamani prayers. Those have been included separately.
