The Brahma Samhita is a Sanskrit Pancaratra text, composed of verses of prayer spoken by Lord Brahma, the creator of the Universe, to Govinda or Krishna at the beginning of creation. It is revered within Gaudiya Vaishnavism, whose founder, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1534), re-discovered a part of the work, the 62 verses of Chapter 5, when visiting a temple in the Kerala, Southern India in the 16th Century which had previously been lost for many centuries. The text contains a highly esoteric description, with the Kama-Gayatri, of Krishna in His abode Goloka.
