Description
Sri Krishna was an expert in playing the flute. All the living creatures of Vrindavan were enchanted by the sound vibration of his flute. Divine sound of his flute filled the heart of the inhabitants with pure joy and delight. Plants would respond by gushing falling leaves, blossoming leaves., and animals would express their love by coming close to the Lord and listen to his divine music sitting next to him. Milk would flow out of the cows when the Lord played the flute.The maidens were intoxicated by the lordly melodious tone and would leave all their housework to run to him.
The flute is bamboo reed with eight holes specially carved from the main opening to the end. The player blows through the top hole and controls the other seven holes as he brings out the songs of his heart.
The scriptures consider the flute in Krishna's hand is symbolic of human beings. Each personality is structured with eight spots, i.e., with five organs of perception (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching) and mind, intellect and ego. The Almighty fills us with his breath — life — and plays upon these spots to bring out the captivating melody of eternal joy.
