Gopi Geetham

Gopi speaks “ Oh! Dear friends, we are fortunate to witness the divine child who is playing the melodious flute.  Definitely, the flute is extremely fortunate to have the sweet saliva of that lovely child.  I cannot forget that beautiful appearance of him attired in magnificent yellow clothes, all his limbs are covered in jewels and flowers, beautiful feathers of the peacock on the curly hair locks, walking all over Vrindavan, singing melodiously.  Oh! Honey bees, you are the fortunate ones, taking honey from the flowers adorned on his body, the flute placed on the lips of Krishna absorbing the sweet nectar-like saliva from his lips.  We are not so fortunate to have the taste of nectar-like saliva from his lips.  Oh! Peacocks, you are fortunate ones to dance to the tune of Venuganam of  Devakisutha.  Oh! Deers, you are fortunate ones to chase him to the tune of Venuganam of Nandanandan, and watching at the spell-bound performance of Krishna.  The deities who are traveling on the celestial vehicles in the sky could not move further after listening to the melodious music from the flute of Krishna, they are also experiencing the same bliss as us.  They are not realizing their misplaced garments or hairs or ornaments adorned in their body, they are so wrapped up in the Venuganam like us.  The cows and calves spreading its ears widely and listening to the nectar-like Venuganam and the calves forget to drink milk from the udder of their mothers.  The birds that fly all over like the Yogis who move all around Earth without any restriction, they stand still listening to the melodious music on flute, as if the Yogis immersed in a transcendental state.  The small water currents in the rivers cheerfully flowing and crowding each other, after listening to the Mukundaganam as if they are embracing Krishna, the sky is packed with rainy clouds yearning to express their happiness in the form of rains, after listening to the Venuganam.  The womenfolk of the tribal clan feel the embrace of Krishna, when their bosom smeared in vermilion, touches the long grasses while walking in the woods.  The mount Govardhana is fortunate to have the footprints of Balaram and Krishna, and it is highly pleased to remove the thirst and hunger of cowherds, cows of Vraja.  Oh! Dear friends, we have believed them as ordinary cowherds of Vrindavan, while they are wandering all around Vrindavan, holding ropes and sticks in their hands, in fact, it is supreme Lord and deities who have appeared as Krishna and cowherds to elevate our soul.  I cannot forget the scene Krishna holding the flute on his lips, and playing melodious music on it, even the fluttering leaves of the trees, and shrubs and plants standstill after listening to the melodious music on flute.  He had stolen our hearts with his lovely appearance and virtues.” In this way, the melodious music on the flute of Krishna kindled the emotions of female cowherds of Vraja.
