FAQs
This verse shows that when devotees meet, they naturally exchange Govinda-kathā, and such glorification becomes celebrated even in the three worlds—highlighting Krishna-katha as spiritually potent and universally praised.
Because their mutual glorification of Govinda reveals the devotional mood of exalted devotees at Kurukṣetra; Śukadeva presents their words as exemplary, “sung in the three worlds,” and worthy for Parīkṣit to hear.
Seek satsanga—meet with devotees—and replace ordinary talk with Krishna-katha: share, hear, and remember the Lord’s qualities and pastimes, making daily conversation a form of bhakti.
