It was originally recorded for ISKCON’s Golden Avatara tape collection in Mumbai.

The Samarpan tape had incredible history since 1983, when the bhajans were first rendered. Here is some information I found on Samarpan.

The resemblance between Chitra’s “Muraliya baaje re jamuna ke teer” and A R Rehman’s composition “O paalanhaare” in LAGAAN is striking. JS made BHAJAN in 1984 with Chitra, which was also a hit. PS: Seeing the success of this album, EMI/HMV asked JS to do a bhajan album for them. But both of them were definitely many years before SAMARPAN/KRISHNA of 1983.

KRISHNA was later released by CBS in 1983 on LP and cassettes obviously because ISKCON could not market it on a scale that a music company could. (a) The first devotional album composed/sung by JS along with Chitra was SAMARPAN, which was released on audio cassette by the ISKCON Temple in 1983 - it contained the songs which later appeared in the album KRISHNA but there are some shloks which were edited out of KRISHNA.
