Om Devakiisutha govinda vasudeva jagalpathe
Dehi me thanayum Krishna thwamahum sharannam gatha
The Santhanagopala mantra is a prayer to Lord Krishna to bless the devotee with a child or to protect one’s child. It is very beneficial for expecting mothers to chant this mantra 21 times daily, during pregnancy period so that their child is protected from all misfortune.
This mantra can also be used by couples to be blessed with a child. Couples who wish for a child are required to chant this mantra 108 times in the morning while holding a little copper vessel with ghee in it. The mantra chanting has to be done in the morning, and the ghee should be consumed by the husband and wife on an empty stomach. Repeat this ‘sadhana’ for 41 continuous days with devotion and lord Krishna will fulfill your wish.
[Note - On days when either the husband or wife are not able to do the mantra recital, it is enough for any one of them to do and just pray for the other.]
