Eager to See the Two Lords

“The women of Mathurā hurriedly assembled and went forth to see the two sons of Vasudeva as They entered the city on the King’s road, surrounded by Their cowherd boyfriends. Some of the women, my dear King, eagerly climbed to the roofs of their houses to see Them.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.41.24, translation

Ask yourself

How can I make room today for eager attention to Kṛṣṇa?
