English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Kritajnaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
Repeated from name 82; "He Who Knows and Remembers All Devotion" - its repetition here is especially moving: no act of love, no gesture of devotion, however small, is ever forgotten by Him.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Purāṇic Reference<br> The Mahābhārata describes how Kṛṣṇa never forgets even small services rendered to Him. **Mythological Explanation<br> Kṛta means action, deed; jña means knower. The Kṛtajña knows every action - both the deed and the intention behind it! When Sudāmā brought handful of beaten rice (embarrassed by poverty), the Kṛtajña saw not the material value but the love - and rewarded a palace! When a tribal woman (Śabarī) offered Rāma half-eaten berries (having tasted each to ensure sweetness), the Kṛtajña appreciated the devotion more than perfectly prepared royal feasts. When Draupadī gave Kṛṣṇa a torn piece of sari (to bind His bleeding finger), the Kṛtajña remembered - later providing endless cloth during her disrobing! The Kṛtajña never forgets even the smallest service. For devotees who feel their service is too small to matter, the Kṛtajña teaches: I measure service by love, not quantity. One flower offered with devotion outweighs tons of gold offered mechanically. The practice: offer whatever you can with full heart - the Kṛtajña will acknowledge it beyond your imagination!
