The Blue Flute
A gentle tale of Lord Krishna’s journey from a playful child in Gokul to the wise charioteer of Kurukshetra.
☸️
In the beautiful town of Gokul, a boy named Krishna grew up with mischief in his smile and music in his heart. Though born in Mathura, he was raised by Yashoda Maa and Nanda Baba to protect him from the cruel king Kansa. Krishna played with his friends, stole butter from pots, and danced joyfully with the gopis. His flute could calm storms and make peacocks dance. He defeated evil beings like Putana, Trinavarta, and even danced on the head of the poisonous serpent Kaliya. When angry rains threatened his village, Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill with just one finger, giving shelter to all. The people of Gokul saw not just a naughty boy, but someone truly divine.
Years passed, and Krishna journeyed back to Mathura where he defeated Kansa and freed his parents. Later, he built Dwarka, guided kings with wisdom, and became the charioteer for Arjuna during the great Mahabharata war. On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Krishna spoke the sacred words of the Bhagavad Gita, teaching about truth, duty, and the soul. Though he never held a weapon in the war, his wisdom helped restore balance to the world. When his time came, Krishna left the world quietly, under a tree, like the setting sun after a golden day. But his flute still echoes in stories, songs, and hearts — reminding us to live with love, courage, and kindness.
🌼 Moral of the Story
Krishna’s life teaches us to spread joy, protect what’s right, and lead with wisdom and love.
