Krishna bows to music!!

The incident is about Shri Krishna's darshan to the world famous Shehnai player Bismillah Khan (yes you read it right!!)

Ustad Bismillah Khan , the Shahnai maestro, had a personal encounter with Sri .Krishna . The legendary Ustad have had great respect for Sri.Krishna ; and that could have prompted the merciful Lord to appear in person .

A few years back, Ustad Bismillah Khan was traveling by train from Jamdshedpur to Varanasy . It was a coal run passenger train and Ustad was traveling in the third class compartment . From an intermediate rural railway station , a young cowherd boy boarded the bogey in which Ustad was sitting . He was a dark and lean boy ; and he was holding a flute in his hands . Slowly the boy started playing his flute . The supreme quality of his music surprised the maestro Ustad who didn't even know the 'Raga' the boy was playing . Ustad Bismillah Khan immediately recognized that , the boy is none other than Sri Krishna , the Supreme God Himself . The nectarin Nada-Brahman (Brahman in the form of music) flowing out of Krishna's flute filled Ustad's heart with ecstasy ; and tears of joy started poring out of his eyes .

After the stunning performance , Ustad called the boy near and presented him with a coin requesting him to play the song again . Krishna obliged . This repeated again an again until Bismiillah Khan's wallet became empty . Young Krishna got down at the next railway station and disappeared .

In fact , Ustad was en route to participate in a music concert related to Kumbha mela ( a Hindu religious gathering of millions of devotees ) . In that concert , Ustad presented the newl 'Raga' ( which he learned that day from Krishna ) . This melodious 'raga' was greatly appreciated by the audience who begged Ustad to sing it many times . The music scholars around couldn't make out the name of the 'Raga' and they asked about it to Bismillah Khan . Ustad replied that the name of the Raga is 'Kanhaira' .

It is said Ustad Bismillah Khan and his family had many such experiences, iys also said that his uncle-Ali Baksh had a darshan of Shri Venkateshwara..

This shows Gods do not bias on religion,cast and creed 😊
