Hare Krishna Devotees
I want to know how Krishna will feel the very moment we chant His name. How does He feel when we just say Krishna and not even the full mahamantra? Does He feel happy if a person (be it a non Devotee or Devotee of Krishna) say Krishna even if they have no intention to utter His name, even if they are not motivated to chant but still does it.
Is Krishna ever waiting to hear his name being chanted by every humans no matter if they are Devotees of Krishna or any other god or an atheist. How does he feel the moment anyone chants His name irrespective of their Krishna consciousness level or they say 'Krishna' just in a conversation?
Devotees, please enlighten me with your answers. If there are any scriptural references to these kindly share it.

How does Krsna feel when we just chant Krishna's name ?
Just as how a mother feels when her baby calls "mumma" for the first time. Krsna feels extremely happy.
If there are any scriptural references to these kindly share it.
taṁ tadvad ārtam upalabhya jagan-nivāsaḥ
stotraṁ niśamya divijaiḥ saha saṁstuvadbhiḥ
chandomayena garuḍena samuhyamānaś
cakrāyudho ’bhyagamad āśu yato gajendraḥ
After understanding the awkward condition of Gajendra, who had offered his prayers, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, who lives everywhere, appeared with the demigods, who were offering prayers to Him. Carrying His disc and other weapons, He appeared there on the back of His carrier, Garuḍa, with great speed, according to His desire. Thus He appeared before Gajendra.
There are two words in the above shloka which indicate to how eager Sri Krsna is to be with His devotees who pray / sing/ chant His names.
Chandomayena means - with the speed He desired. Meaning the higest possible speed.
āśu means - immediately.

From Krsna's point of view all living entities are His children, irrespective of species (even insects, grass, micro-organisms etc). Humans have the ability to chant Krsna's names.
Hare Krsna
Krsna will come if you chant His name. No doubt about it.
Gajendra recognized Krsna as Hari when He came riding on the back of Garuda.
Hare Krishna mata ji,
nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ… (
The holy name of Krishna is Krishna Himself.
So when your tongue says “Krishna,” Krishna is present there. He is not far away in Goloka, He is right on your tongue, listening, feeling, and reciprocating.
I don't how Krishna will feel that very momment. But Shrimati Radharani will become shy. She loves the name of Krishna more then Krishna's Himself.
Oh Krishna, There is some devotee calling your name do you hear it says Radha.
Krishna would say, I cannot hear it !
Shreemati Radharani will say no no please hear carefully I hear they are calling out your name. Oh hurry up the devotee might be in great danger.
Krishna will say.. Well, You know what Shree Ji, I only hear if you recommended it.
Oh Hurry up Krishna it is late the devotee is calling you.
Krishna: I wish they call me along with Your sweet name Shree Radha.
Radharani say.. You are too demanding. I will rush to the devotee myself.
Hare Krishna
