Kṛṣṇa identifies Himself in music, mantras, and time. In the Sāma Veda, He is the Bṛhat-sāma, which is sung at midnight. In poetry and mantras, He is the Gāyatrī, the mother of all Vedic chants. Among months, He is Mārgaśīrṣa (Nov-Dec), and among seasons, He is the flowery Spring. Gāyatrī is the mantra for self-realization, and Spring is the season of renewal and beauty. Mārgaśīrṣa is the time of harvest and abundance. Kṛṣṇa is the peak of every cycle. He is the most beautiful season and the most powerful prayer. Through these examples, Kṛṣṇa invites us to celebrate Him during the best times of the year and through the best sounds of the culture. When we see the flowers bloom in Spring or chant the Gāyatrī at dawn, we are connecting with His specific vibhūtis. He is the fragrance in the season and the power in the chant.
