Story 20
The Sounds of Krishna’s Magical Flute
Scene 1 — Autumn in Vrindavan
Autumn came to Vrindavan, and the forest became so beautiful! The rivers bloomed with lotuses, and the air was full of freshness.
(Krishna and Balarama enter, leading the cows. They laugh and play.)
Krishna (smiling): Balarama, how beautiful the forest looks today! Listen — I will play My flute.
Balarama (cheerfully): Oh yes, Krishna! Your music always makes everyone happy!
(Krishna raises His flute and begins to play. A soft, magical melody fills the air.)
Scene 2 — The Forest Comes Alive
As soon as Krishna began to play, everything around Him became still…
Cows (moving slowly): How beautiful! Listen, everyone, listen!
Peacocks (spinning in dance): What magical music! Let’s dance for Krishna!
Deer (lifting their heads): Who is playing this sweet sound? We must see Him!
(Animals freeze and smile, enchanted by the flute’s song.)
Scene 3 — The Gopis Hear the Music
(The gopis enter, talking joyfully.)
Lalita: Did you hear that? It’s Krishna playing His flute!
Radharani: When He plays, my heart feels so happy!
Gopi 3: And He looks so beautiful — with a peacock feather in His hair, a garland of forest flowers, and clothes shining like the sun!
Gopi 4: His music is so magical that even the clouds come close to shade Him from the sun!
Scene 4 — The Nature Joins (Clouds and the River Yamuna enter gracefully.)
Clouds (softly swaying): We will cover Krishna from the sun, because He is our dearest friend!
River Yamuna (offering flowers): I want to give Krishna my lotuses —
they are my gift of love!
Scene 5 — The Joy of Vrindavan
All of Vrindavan became filled with joy, because Krishna was playing His flute. Even the trees and the birds smiled to be near Him.
Krishna (playing one last tune): Music is My gift to everyone who loves Me.
All (together): Thank You, Krishna! You make our world so beautiful!
(Happy music plays. Everyone dances and sings in joy.)
