[keralareachout] When Bhagavan Sri Krishna , Appeared in Person to Ustad Bismillah Khan !!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Abhilash/Rajeev,

Radhe Krishna!

 

Very many thanks to both of you to have brought it to the notice of

devotees of Krishna. Mysterious are the ways of the

Lord when it comes to blessing His devotees.

"VICHITHRA-ROOPASTHWAT-KHALU-ANUGRAHAH." (D87S7-- Narayaneeyam.) he

doesn't go by caste, creed or religion. "BHAKTI" is the only

criterion. Hail unto Him!

 

Regards

KVG

Hare Krishna !

Dandavat Pranam to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Vaishnavas ,

( This narration is based

on an interview of Ustad Bismillah Khan , reported by Dr.Madhu

Vasudevan of Malayala Manorama daily ) .

Ustad Bismillah Khan ,

the Shahnai maestro , (who died last week ) , had a personal encounter

with Sri .Krishna . In spite of being a Muslim, the legendary

Ustad have had great respect for Sri.Krishna ; and that could

have prompted the merciful Lord to appear in person .

A few years back, Ustad

Bismillah Khan was traveling by train from Jamdshedpur

to Varanasy . It was a coal run passenger train and Ustad was

traveling in the third class compartment . From

an intermediate rural railway station , a young cowherd boy boarded the

bogey in which Ustad was sitting . He was a dark

and lean boy ; and he was holding a flute in his

hands . Slowly the boy started playing his flute . The

supreme quality of his music surprised the maestro Ustad who didn't

even know the `Raga' the boy was playing . Ustad Bismillah

Khan immediately recognized that , the boy is none other

than Sri Krishna , the Supreme God Himself . The

nectarin Nada-Brahman ( Brahman in the form of music) flowing out of Krishna's flute filled Ustad's

heart with ecstasy ; and tears of joy started poring out of his eyes .

 

After the stunning

performance , Ustad called the boy near and presented him with a coin

requesting him to play the song again . Krishna obliged .

This repeated again an again until Bismiillah Khan's wallet

became empty . Young Krishna got down at the next railway

station and disappeared .

In fact , Ustad was en

route to participate in a music concert related to

Kumbha mela ( a Hindu religious gathering of millions of devotees ) .

In that concert , Ustad presented the newl `Raga'

( which he learned that day from Krishna ) . This melodious

`raga' was greatly appreciated by the audience who begged Ustad to sing

it many times . The music scholars around

couldn't make out the name of the `Raga' and they asked about it to

Bismillah Khan . Ustad replied that the name of the Raga is `Kanhaira'

..

Next day's news papers

contained headlines about the melodious new `Raga' invented by Ustad

Bismillah Khan . Having read it , Hariprasas

Chaurasya, the legendary Musician (Flutist) , asked

about `Kanhaira Raga's' details to

Bismillah Khan . Ustad revealed the truth and sang `Kanhaira'

; and Hariprakash Chaurasya , the

topmost Flutist in the word , burst into tears of joy .

 

`Kanharira' is a divine

gem in Indian music , as it originated from

the lotus lips of Sri.Krishna , the God of Gods !!!.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!!
