Damodar Ashtakam is recited by ISKCON followers in all major festivals. The most meditated mantra by the devotees in the month of holy Kartik. Kartik is the month where Krishna devotees remember the mischievous childhood pastimes of Lord Krishna. Damodarshtakam is about Krishna being bound by chords of love by Mata Yashoda.

Importance of Kartik Month
According to Skanda Purana, there is no other month like Kartik, no era like Satyayuga, no scripture like Veda, and no pilgrimage like Gangaji.
Kartik is the dearest month of Lord Krishna and holiest for his devotees.
This month is great for worshiping, donation, and self-control, which makes one healthy, wealthy, long-lived, and happy.
In Kartik month, taking a bath in holy rivers is believed to remove many sins of past lives because Lord Hari lives in the water this month.
Offering ghee lamps is very beneficial for devotees as it deepens the love and devotion for Krishna. Singing Damodar Ashtakam and offering ghee lamps perishes accumulated sins and tribulation of previous births in a moment.

Damodarashtakam Lyrics Meaning
I offer my reverence to the supreme lord, who is a manifestation of ultimate bliss, whose earrings touching his cheeks, whose abode is Gokula. and who stole the butter that gopis kept in hidden places. Mother Yashoda is furious with him because he broke the butter pot. Scared of mother Yashoda, he jumped swiftly and ran, but got caught by her finally.
Upon seeing his mother with a whipping stick, he starts crying and rubbing his eyes again and again with his lotus hands out of fear. His eyes were full of fear, and he is breathing quickly due to which pearl necklace is shaking in his tri-lined neck. I bow down to Supreme Lord, whose belly is tied by rope of love by Mother Yashoda.
All the inhabitant of Gokula is completly drenched in ectasy for beholding Lord Krishna’s childhood pastimes. To the devotees who are attracted only to His majestic aspect of Narayana in Vaikuntha, the Lord herein reveals: “I am conquered and overwhelmed by pure loving devotion.” To the Supreme Lord, Damodara, my obeisances hundreds and hundreds of times.
O’ Lord, Though you can give all kinds of boons, I don’t expect you to bestow me with liberation from worldly life, nor I need a place in your heavenly abode Vaikuntha, nor any benediction, O lord I only pray for the vision of your childhood form forever stay in my heart. There is no desire other than that.
O Lord! your dark-complexioned lotus face, which is encircled by locks of curly hair, has become red like bimb fruit due to mother Yashoda’s kisses. I don’t need any worldly pleasure, but only this vision remain in my mind forever.
O Ocean of love! Damodar! O Infinite Vishnu! and Be pleased upon me! I’m deep in the middle of the sea of sorrow. Please shower your blessing on me and cast your merciful nectarine vision on petty me.
O, Lord Damodara! When you were tied up with grinding stone by Mother Yashoda, you gave salvation to sons of Kubera (Manigreeva and Nalakuvara) from the banishment of Narad muni. They become freed from the curse of being a tree and came to your shelter for your loving devotion. As you blessed the Kubera’s sons, please shower your grace upon me. I have no desire for any liberation.
O Lord, I offer my humble reverence to the great rope which tied your abdomen from where Lord Brahma, who created the entire universe, was born. I bow many, many times to the lotus feet of your beloved Radharani. And offer obeisance to your infinite forms of bliss.
