Morning Songs Glorify Kṛṣṇa

“The bees’ buzzing, caused by the fragrant breeze from the pārijāta garden, roused the birds from sleep. And when the birds began to sing loudly, they woke Lord Kṛṣṇa like court poets reciting His glories.”

Try this today

When you hear a morning sound today, pause and speak one sentence glorifying Lord Kṛṣṇa.

How can the sounds of morning remind you to glorify Kṛṣṇa?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
