Śukadeva disse: Assim, lembrando-se de Kṛṣṇa repetidas vezes, Nanda Mahārāja, cuja mente estava totalmente apegada ao Senhor, sentiu extrema ansiedade e ficou em silêncio, vencido pela torrente de seu amor.
FAQs
This verse shows that repeatedly remembering Kṛṣṇa can awaken such powerful prema that a devotee becomes silent and overwhelmed—separation intensifies loving absorption rather than diminishing it.
Nanda’s mind was wholly attached to Kṛṣṇa; as memories surged, intense longing arose and the force of love left him speechless.
Practice regular remembrance—through japa, hearing Kṛṣṇa-kathā, and reflecting on Kṛṣṇa’s qualities—so the heart’s attachment grows from routine devotion into sincere longing and deeper love.
