All the people of the Vraj say - “May long live our beloved little Krishna”. ‘O Lord! Do not let my glances fall on those who do not have devotion to Your Feet. Do not let me hear any other thing, except the stories of Your glorious deeds. Let me not pay attention to those who do not think of You, O Madhava. Allow me instead to serve You, birth after birth.’ Mukunda Mala Stotram verse 15 ‘Don't be in darkness of delusion as it doesn't last for long, here all comes and goes. Attach yourself to the lotus feet of Giridhari, Guru and his saints, you shall be free’ - Paramahamsa Vishwananda -
