Singing along, reciting, dancing, acting out my deeds, telling and hearing stories of me, he should for a while be lost in the festive moment.
गाते हुए, नाम-गुण का उच्चारण करते हुए, नाचते हुए, मेरी लीलाओं का अभिनय करते हुए, मेरी कथाएँ सुनाते और सुनते हुए, कुछ समय के लिए उत्सव में डूब जाए।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Devotion can be joyful: music, dance, stories and shared celebration are as much worship as silent ritual. Letting yourself be absorbed for a while refreshes the heart.
भक्ति आनंदमय हो सकती है: संगीत, नृत्य, कथा और मिलकर उत्सव मनाना भी उतनी ही पूजा है जितना मौन अनुष्ठान। कुछ देर उसमें डूब जाना मन को ताज़ा कर देता है।
Krishna (Bhagavata 11.27.44) says the devotee should sing, recite his names, dance, act out his deeds, tell and hear his stories, and for a while be absorbed in that festive joy.
