Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 http://www.goloka.com/ The Magic of Krishna's Flute (Plate 9 of 16) O rare voice, which is a spell Unto all on earth who dwell! O rich voice of rapturous love, Making melody above! Krishna's, Hari's one in two, Sound these mortal verses through! Sound like that soft flute which made Such a magic in the shade Calling deer-eyed maidens nigh, Waking wish and stirring sigh, Thrilling blood and melting breasts, Whispering love's divine unrests. This is an illustration of the following lines from Canto VIII of the Gita Govinda: antarmohan amaulighur nanachalan mandaravibhram sana stambhakar shanadrip tiharshana mahamantrah kurangidrisam dripyaddana vaduyama nadivishad durvaraduh khapadam bhramsah kamsaripor vipolayatu vah sreyamsi vamsiravah "The sound of Krishna's flute charms the entire creation, animate as well as inanimate. The deer-eyed gopis of Vraja are so fascinated "herewith that mandara flowers which decorate their coiffure fall. May the sound of Krishna's flute, the enemy of Kamsa and saviour of gods, bless you all!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
