Experience
the enchanting presence
of Lord Krishna in bliss, playing his divine flute with this captivating
figurine. Revered as the embodiment of love, joy, and celestial music, Lord
Krishna's portrayal as the divine flutist evokes a sense of transcendental
bliss and spiritual awakening. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and
devotion, this exquisite idol captures the essence of Krishna's divine
playfulness and his ability to touch hearts with his enchanting melody.
The gopis of Vrindavana were highly wary of Krishna’s flute. Its music did not let them concentrate on their duties, and they were also jealous of the fact that it was his constant companion, always partaking of the nectar of his lips.
One day in exasperation they stole the flute and asked it in private:
"Dear flute, what qualities do you possess that our beloved Krishna loves you so much? He sometimes ties you to His stomach, sometimes makes you relish the nectar of His lips, and keeps you by His side even when he goes to sleep. You were born as a tree (considered a lower class of being), and even in that you belong to the base bamboo family, whose wood is characteristically tied up in knots. By yourself, you are dry and devoid of any rasa. As for your shape, not only are you hollow, but also full of glaring holes. We don’t really see any special quality in you."
The flute spoke up: "Friends, right you are. I do not belong to a high caste or family. I possess neither knowledge nor rasa. I am full of knots and have no life or voice of my own. I am totally empty. That is why indeed the Great Krishna, filling me up with his own life, expresses his voice and music through me."
Indeed Krishna is always there in our hearts; but, since our heart is always overcrowded with "worldly matters and desires", the divine presence cannot be experienced. We need to empty ourselves like the flute, only then will Krishna's music reverberate through us, no matter how many faults we may possess.

The Divine Beauty: Exploring the Meaning and Symbolism Behind
Krishna Statues
Lord Krishna is known by various other names such as Govinda,
Gopala, Giridhari, Madanmohan, Radharaman, Maakhanchor, etc. The
Vedic scriptures mention Him as the Supreme Lord, the cause of
all causes, and the controller of living entities. In the
Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Himself says that there is no Truth
superior to Him and that in all the Vedas, He is to be known.
Different people see Him differently. Some people see Him as
their son, some as their friend, some as their master, and some
as their beloved. He is the source of all pleasure and bliss.
There are so many pastimes described in the Vedic literature
where it is seen that whoever approached and served Lord Krishna
with full faith and devotion, was never bewildered even in the
greatest calamities, and was always protected by Him. Lord
Krishna is therefore the ocean of mercy.
Lord Krishna expands Himself into different forms to fulfill a
particular purpose in the material world. For example, to save
His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of
his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu, the Lord assumed a special
form of half-lion and half-man, Narasimha, and appeared from a
stone pillar and killed the demon with His sharp nails. This
shows an interesting quality of Lord Krishna. He is very
possessive about His devotees. He never tolerates blasphemy
against them. Those who try to harm them in any way, the Lord
punishes them the hardest way.
Is Krishna statue good at home?
If you want to please Lord Krishna with your service and
devotion, keeping the deity of the Lord will be good for you.
Wherever there is Krishna, there is opulence, victory,
extraordinary power, and morality. Worshiping the deity is one
of the easiest ways to build a strong relationship with the
Lord. There is no difference between the deity of Krishna and
Krishna Himself. The Lord said in the Bhagavad Gita that we can
worship Him by offering Him a leaf, a flower, water, or a fruit.
If the Lord is pleased, you will feel great satisfaction within
your heart and you will experience transcendental bliss.
Therefore, keeping the deity of Lord Krishna at home and
following the necessary rules and regulations in the deity
worship process is highly auspicious.
Which Krishna statue can be kept at home?
There is nothing more sublime than serving the lotus feet of
Lord Krishna for it is the very aim of human life. Therefore,
you can worship any form of Lord Krishna as your heart desires.
You can either keep the deity of the original two-handed form of
Krishna playing His flute or the childhood form of Krishna
eating butter. You may also keep the deity of Krishna along with
Srimati Radharani, His internal potency. If you want to attract
the causeless mercy of the Lord and engage in His offenseless
service, worshiping the deity of Lord Jagannath, the most
merciful form of Lord Krishna would be the best for you. Lord
Jagannath does not take offenses of the devotees and only looks
at their good qualities and intentions.
