Las mujeres de Vraja son verdaderamente afortunadas: con la mente totalmente apegada a Urukrama, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, y la garganta a menudo ahogada por las lágrimas, cantan de Él sin cesar mientras ordeñan, avientan el grano, baten la mantequilla, preparan el estiércol como combustible, se columpian, atienden a sus bebés que lloran, riegan el suelo, limpian la casa, y así sucesivamente. Por esa elevada conciencia de Kṛṣṇa, todo lo deseable les llega espontáneamente.
FAQs
This verse describes the Vraja women singing of Kṛṣṇa while doing ordinary chores—showing that constant remembrance (smaraṇa) and kīrtana can be practiced in the midst of everyday duties.
They are called most fortunate because their minds naturally run to Kṛṣṇa at every moment; even routine tasks become devotion, and love makes them sing with tear-choked voices.
Turn daily activities into bhakti by keeping Kṛṣṇa in mind—chanting or softly singing His names, hearing His pastimes, and offering your work as service so remembrance continues throughout the day.
