In Hindu symbolism Krishna is proven with a crown of peacock feathers, or only one feather , as he performs the flute. He’s the perfect of divine love, the God of affection. And this divinity expresses itself because it enters into the being of his devotees.
Krishna and the flute
There are lots of tales of the standard reed that stood bent within the pond facet in Vrindavan ready for a human hand to choose it whereas all of the tall bamboos had been all taken for his or her energy and top.However when Lord Krishna went looking for a bamboo he wished a small one to make his flute.This bent, affected person being grew to become the Lord’s instrument. The holes had been the passages that started with ache and ended with ecstasy belonging to the Lord’s breath.
There are lots of Krishna students who say that the flute is greater than mere symbolism; it’s the metaphor for a human coronary heart. As people we now have to return to consciousness when our hearts are hole able to obtain the divine spirit for God to play upon.
The flute and the center
Love occurs solely when our hearts have holes in them. Rumi, the good Persian poet explains this concept extra clearly. He says the pains and sorrows the soul experiences via life, are like holes made in a reed flute, and it’s by making these holes {that a} participant makes the flute out of a reed.
Might we are saying that the center of man is first a reed, and the sufferings and pains we undergo make it a flute? Does God use us as devices for everlasting music within the universe?
However all of us can’t be flutes. Each coronary heart can’t be an instrument of divine music.The Bible speaks of the human coronary heart turning into the harp of angels.Literature tells us that the human coronary heart is the lute of Orpheus.The devices of music are certainly the center of man.When music is produced our souls are raised to immortal proportions.

The peacock feathers on Krishna’s head inform us that it’s the music of the center which could be expressed via the pinnacle; it’s the data of the pinnacle and the love of the center that specific the divine message. The peacock’s feather since antiquity is an indication of magnificence and data; the formation of the attention provides a deeper symbolism because it creates the symbolism of the inside eye that stands for knowledge, studying and data. However we should do not forget that data with out divine love and humility is nugatory.This present the Golden Flute is about life’s classes to all humanity.
