Venugana
Madhuradhipati
❝
Krishna's venugana, symbolically, the hollow bamboo of the flute represents the ego emptied of self, becoming a vessel through which Krishna's love flow freely. The enchanting notes are a calling to the souls (Jeevatmas).
Spiritually, venugana evokes a yearning for the divine. The gopis, foremost among the devotees, upon hearing the venugana, are drawn into a state of ecstatic love and devotion, forgetting worldly attachments. This symbolizes the soul's innate longing to reunite with its source. It is a call to awaken the dormant love within each of us and to surrender to the divine, leading to spiritual liberation and bliss.
