FEATURES OF THE LORD : THE FLUTE ( Part 1 )



Today i am going to write about an important feature of the LORD , that is HIS FLUTE . It always remains with HIM , HE is known as the MURLIDHAR . I shall try to discuss various significances of the FLUTE .

# The FLUTE is the oldest musical instrument known to mankind , it is valued for its mellodious sound .Generally a FLUTE is made of bamboo , it has no machanical part in it .

In this way , the FLUTE is very close to nature . And if it is used in a natural surrounding , it can produce immense effect . Sometimes one can experience how Nature itself answers back by echoing the music of a Flute when used in the lap of nature ( forests or mountains) .

# It is said that after listening to the Flute played by KRISHNA , people felt like --

"We lost ourselves compltely ,

We know not who we were ."

( i don't know who is the composer of these 2 lines , but i loved them and used here . Due credit goes to the original composer for expressing such wonderful experience in so simple words . )

Such is the power of the LORD'S FLUTE .

The Gopis used to call the Flute -- KRISHNA'S PAATRANI . They could not control themselves but always got attracted to this music . Here I am narrating some more attributes of the music of the Flute ---

--> Through this Flute , the magic of the ETERNITY flows .

--> By hearing the music , the hearer dances in esctacy because the soul itself becomes glorious .

-->It fills the heart with such an ETERNAL LOVE that the 'hearer' gets merged with the 'heard' and attains the blissful state .

--> Hearing the Flute , the river ( mind) changes its direction and feels an urge to flow towards the ABSOLUTE .

--> It creates a deep and never ending magic in the 'loving hearts' .

--> All the RASAS emerge and disappear in this Flute of the LORD .

--> All the animals ( and specially the peacocks ) dance in Ecstasy by listening to the sweet music of the LORD'S Flute .

Such is the great impact of HIS Flute on the world , that it transforms all of them who hear it .

Since this is a lengthy topic ,I stop here today . In my next post i will continue discussing the various ways by which we can try to hear this DIVINE MUSIC .

Praying for HIS blessings on all of us .

With best wishes ,

Dpriya .

Krishna Janm dohas from B R Chopra's 'Mahabharat'

Dear Friends, Continuing with the Janmashtami mood :), today I am posting the dohas which come around the birth of Shri Krishna, in B R Chopra's 'Mahabharat'.  The dohas are taken from Shivang's posts in India Forums website :) ( http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1251811&TPN=61 ) (In this page you can find all the dohas of Mahabharat) Watch the sequence here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjSONbbaJJ4 Krishna paksha ki ashtami, ardh raatri Budhvaar;   Karagruh me Kans ke, bhayo Krishna avtaar, bhayo Krishna avtaar. Sinh raashi ke Soorya hain, udit uchcha ke Chandra;   Devan dinhi dundubhi, taar madhya, swar mand, taar madhya swar mand. Megh nichhavar ho rahe, barse sau sau dhaar;   Damak damak daamini kahe, dekho mukh ek baar, dekho mukh ek baar. Chhatra banyo brijraaj hit, phan failaye naag;   Mathura tere tyaag se, jaage Brij ke bhaag, jaage Brij ke bhaag. Jaane Jamuna jag nahi, Shri Hari ko avtaar;  ...

'Hari Haraye Namah Krishna'

This is a very famous and old stotra on Shri Krishna. I heard it for the first time in the film 'Aagantuk'. Utpal Dutt was reciting this stotra, the original voice was of Satyajit Ray's, I think. But there the stotra remained incomplete as the next events of the film started taking place. From then, I always wanted to listen the full stotra along with reading it. Very recently I came to the audio track of the same and got the lyrics on internet. It has 10 stanzas, written by Narottam Das. Above the post I have given the vidoe of the song from YouTube, and here is the lyrics, and the English translation (which I got from the internet, credit goes to the original writer who posted the lyrics). (1) Hari haraye namah krishna yadavaya namah Yadavaya madhavaya kesavaya namah (2) Gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana Giridhari gopinatha madana-mohana (3) Sri-caitanya-nityananda sri-advaita-sita Hari guru vaishnava bhagavata gita (4) Sri-rupa sanatana bhatta-...

Bliss Generated by Shri Krishna: Some songs from Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna'

Just thought to post some songs from Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna serial, where we can FEEL the Bliss genrated by the Lord to all the persons around Him. Each of these songs are Sooo Special to me due to emotions (Joy) they produce! "Baal Roop dekhke jo Kanhaai" , posted by Lola (IF) Video:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvNLdKxH6BY&feature=related Baal roop dekhen jo Kanhaai, seeing the child form of Lord Krishna, Munivar ne sudh budh bisaraai; the sage lost track of his surroundings Harash apaar hriday na samaaye, his heart couldn't contain the immesne rush of joy N ayanan me aansoo bhar aaye. it filled his eyes with tears Antar gati jo bhayee lakhi swaami , his state of mind upon seeing his master So jaanat bas antaryaami; could only be known by the Master Himself Kaise abhinandan karen?
