We are hoping for a child. Chanting for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
The chant
ॐ देवकी सुत गोविंद वासुदेव जगत्पते
देहिमे तनयं कृष्ण त्वामहं शरणंगत: ।।
om devaki suta govinda vasudeva jagatpate
dehime tanayam krishna tvamaham sharanangatah ||
O Son of Devaki, the Lord of the Universe,
please grant me a child, I surrender to you.
Why it works
Invokes Krishna's blessing for children, family continuity, and progeny—directly connecting to Devaki's miraculous motherhood narrative and answered prayers for offspring.
Activates sharanagati (complete surrender), which the Bhagavad Gita identifies as the highest form of devotion and the path to moksha (liberation).
Establishes deeply personal relationship with Krishna through familial names (Devaki's son, Vasudeva's son), making the infinite accessible through intimate devotion.
Creates divine protection and sovereignty through Krishna as Jagatpate (Lord of the Universe), extending his cosmic authority over the practitioner's life and circumstances.
Purifies intention and heart through the progressive movement from personal request (family blessing) to universal surrender, aligning individual will with divine will.
