taṁ dṛṣṭvā vṛṣṇayo hṛṣṭās tanvaḥ prāṇam ivotthitāḥ pariṣasvajire gāḍhaṁ cira-darśana-kātarāḥ
En voyant Nanda, les Vṛṣṇi furent transportés de joie et se levèrent comme si un corps sans vie retrouvait son souffle. Tourmentés de ne l’avoir pas vu depuis si longtemps, ils l’étreignirent étroitement.
FAQs

Regularly reconnect with Krishna through hearing, chanting, and satsanga—when spiritual connection is renewed after neglect, devotion can feel revitalized like life returning to the body.
