For a long time, I have been nurturing the desire to publish this Sri Damodarastakam. When we used to gather together, especially every Kartika month while observing Damodara-vrata, we would regularly become absorbed in singing Sri Damodarastakam in unison. At such a time, the strong desire to make its secrets bloom within the hearts of all the sadhakas would arise within me.
 
Sri Damodarastakam is eternal; therefore we should study it, sing it out loud, and discuss it, not just during the month of Kartika, but every day throughout caturmasya. It is so important that it is worth reading every month and indeed every day of the year. If this Sri Damodarastakam is glorified in a sublimely poyre way, Sri Damodara will become pleased. It is with this intention that with great effort we have compiled this book.
