"Govinda" is a song by British rock band Kula Shaker, released on their debut album, K (1996).
[4] Sung entirely in Sanskrit,[5] the song includes Indian influences and tambura and tabla instrumentation.
An alternative version of the track, called "Govinda '97, Hari & ST. George", appeared on Kula Shaker's Summer Sun EP, released in July 1997.
Lead singer and guitarist Crispian Mills said that the song was born out of an improvisation and based on a Hindu prayer to Krishna.
The latter was previously recorded in 1970 by devotees from the London Radha Krishna Temple and released as the B-side of their single "Govinda" (a different song), produced by George Harrison.
