Murali Ware Shyam Sundar Ki Jai!

Murali Ware Shyam Sundar Ki Jai… All Glories to The Dark Skinned Handsome One, Who holds the flute!!!

The flute of Shri Krishna is so magical that the sound of His flute forcibly captures the attention of all deserving souls such as the Gopis of Braj. Although it is extremely dear to those fortunate souls, who can hear the sound of the flute, yet the language of true love is very peculiar. The Gopis want to thank Shri Krishna for His magical flute, but, they pretend to criticize the flute for its unique quality of bringing them closer to Him. A Gopi who is drenched in the love of Shyam Sundar chides Him saying O Shyamsundar! Your Murali (flute) has created turmoil. Hearing the sound of the Murali, humans and celestial Gods have lost their consciousness. The music of the Murali has even disrupted the Nirvikalp (Transcendental) Samadhi of Bhagwan Shankar.  

O Shyamsundar! as per the Varnashram dharm expounded in the Vedas, you have established the rules, regulations and decorum for moral conduct of human beings. This Murali has transcended all those boundaries. Even though the Murali has 8 holes, is hollow from inside (has no mind), remains undressed and traces its origin to a family of a mere bamboo plant that lives in the jungles, still this arrogant one, shows off in front of others. 

​The poet, Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, the Murali should not be blamed for this. This is Shyamsundar’s fault. He has graced Her with the divine touch of his sweet lips (muh-lagi hai). This has made her so flamboyant.
