The Abandoned Flute !

Dear Group !

Please read this story....

I got this article from a friend of mine.

---------------------------

Once gopikas came to Krishna's house, Krishna pretended to be asleep. They tried

to wake him up by catching his feet, but Krishna turned the other side and

continued to snore. Then they sang, " It is possible to wake up someone who is in

deep sleep, but it is impossible to wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.

Krishna, you don't sleep at all. If you sleep the whole world will sleep. We

know that, in this world there is none who can understand Your mystery. You are

smaller than an atom and mightier than the mightiest. You are present in all the

84 lakhs of species. Right from the atom to the entire cosmos you are present

everywhere. How can we know you, Krishna? Please put an end to your pranks and

make us happy. We cannot be separate from you any longer.

Radha before giving up her mortal coil was seated on the banks of river Yamuna.

She was feeling very sad that Krishna was not with her. She intensely prayed to

Him to grant her His Divine Darshan. She sang, " Sing O Krishna, speak to me to

fill my Heart with bliss? Distil the essence of Vedas and make it flow into the

eternal music of your flute, O Krishna " . When she sang like this Krishna

appeared and fulfilled her desire by playing on His flute and while listening to

this Divine Melody she breathed her last. Her Jeevana Jyothi (life principle)

merged in Krishna. Krishna threw the flute away and since then He never touched

it again. In movies , you would find Krishna with a flute, but truly speaking

after Radha's departure Krishna never touched the flute again. This is the

promise given by Krishna.

Every incarnation upheld the principle of Truth. Anyone may forget but God never

forgets to keep up his promise.
