Dear all.

namaste.

Listening is very important in form of learning. only by listening we can learn, Andal asks other Gopis whether they listened to the sounds of Birds and conch and the name of the Lord Hari Sri Krishna.

Sravanabhakthi is very important.  when birds chirping of the birds inform us that it is dawn come on wake up wake up… then to make this waking state clearer, conch sound comes with the nada of Omkara. then comes the name of the Lord of Lords Hari Himself.  Actually the sounds of birds and conch takes the form of Sri Haris name..
