My Paramour

Dear Madhumati,

Radhe Radhe !

I would like to send you again some nectar, which my Guru Maharaja just published in one of his e-mail conferences:

Today the wind blew a transcendental leaf from the Vamsivat tree, which witnessed the mind-enchanting flute-playing of our Lord, onto my desk.

Krishna stands under this tree regularly and displays His art. He is the master of all musicians. His specialty is to make everything and everyone move and dance in their respective orbits in this world and beyond. Some recognize His song, but most do not.

To become conscious of him makes all the difference in life. Here is the account that was written on the leaf that floated to my desk:

Krishna rested His left cheek on His left shoulder
in order to vibrate the gamakas (grace notes)
in the ascending and descending modes of the ragas.
He rested the flute against His lower lip
and made His eyebrows dance
to attract the attention of Subal and others
to the skill of His song.
His gentle smile exceeds an incomparable brilliance.
Because Krishna never works hard,
His lotus-petal-like fingers are soft,
and their tips are slightly indented as they press
against the wood of the flute.
Sometimes, while playing His wonderful flute-songs,
He manifests the jnana-mudra.
Deeply absorbed in thoughts of His dear devotees, He remains silent,
unable to speak in the language of words.
Only the flute sweetly sings….

I write this to all of you to call attention to Lord Krishna, who pours the love of His heart into His flute to reach His devotees with His simple message – a message from the core of his heart: Always think of Me. Never forget Me….
Let us each allow this message to enter our hearts as often as possible – forever and ever.

  1. Radhe Radhe! Oh the ones He sings this for (gopis & Radharani) are too distressed of thinking about Him! They want to think something else but can’t! 😆 On the other hand, the sound of “the flute for the devotees” never reaches their hearts, and many like me are truly fed of thinking everything else than Him! Their minds & hearts actually blissfully “relax” when they think of Him! Thanks god to the daily time every devotee finds for Him—truly His kripā! 😀 And thanks to the rare path of devotion shown to them despite presence of His maya…perhaps that’s what is called as “flute sound coming since infinite time for the jivas
