The Most Amazing Enchanting Power of Krishna's Flute Playing

When Krishna plays His flute everyone is enchanted. There is no musician in this world who can compete with Him. Beautiful Krishna plays His flute in order to enliven the hearts of many devotees. He is the only friend of the suffering living entities. When He plays His flute, all the cows and other animals of Vrindavana, although engaged in eating, simply take a morsel of food in their mouths and stop chewing. Their ears raise up and they become stunned. They do not appear alive but like painted animals. Krishna's flute-playing is so attractive that even the animals become enchanted. When He plays on His flute and calls the cows with Balarama, the river Yamuna stops flowing and waits for the air to carry dust from His lotus feet.

When Krishna walks on the bank of the Yamuna, He is seen nicely decorated with tilaka on His face. He is garlanded with different kinds of forest flowers, and His body is smeared with the pulp of sandalwood and tulasi leaves. The bumblebees become mad after the fragrance and sweetness of the atmosphere. Being pleased by the humming sound of the bees, Krishna plays His flute, and together the sounds become so sweet to hear that aquatic birds like cranes, swans and ducks are charmed. Instead of swimming or flying, they become stunned. They close their eyes and enter into a trance of meditation in worship of Krishna.

Krishna and Balarama are nicely dressed with earrings and pearl necklaces. They enjoy Themselves on the top of Govardhana Hill, and everything becomes absorbed in transcendental pleasure when Krishna plays on His flute, charming the whole created manifestation. When He plays, the clouds stop their loud thundering out of fear of Him. Rather than disturb the vibration of His flute, they respond with mild thunder and so congratulate Krishna, their friend.

When Krishna travels through the Vrindavana forest or walks on Govardhana Hill, He is accompanied by the cowherd boys. While walking, He plays His flute just to call His cows. Just by His association, the trees, plants and other vegetation in the forest immediately become Krishna conscious. A Krishna conscious person sacrifices everything for Krishna. Although the trees and plants are not very advanced in consciousness, by the association of Krishna and His friends they also become Krishna conscious.
