Venugopala of Hembargala from Anudinam.org

Playing the flute: The Lord could have sung songs but He used a flute and assigned to it the Acharya sthanam. The Lord prefers to lecture us through an Acharyan. The flute is in contact with the Lord’s lips and conveys to us the Lord’s teachings. He wishes for us to approach Him only through an Acharyan. After the Mahabharata war, He asked Yudhishtirar to approach Bhishmacharyar in order to learn all the shastras and the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama sthothram. The Lord instructed Bagawath Geetha and He could have also instructed the Vishnu Sahasranama Sthothram but He desired for the Pandavas to learn the slokam from Bhishmacharyar. Flute represents Acharyan and the music Acharyan’s instructions which reach us to Lord. The Lord also shows to us that all jeevatmas are equal to each other. Like the air flowing through the flute depending upon the hole through which it comes out produces different tunes, the jeevatmas are influenced by karma to take up diefferent bodies.

Govardhana Leelai: controls hunger. Always chant Govinda while eating.

Vasthrabaharana Charitram: The Lord showed us that we must approach Him without feeling shy. The quality of shyness is represented by dress. We cover ourselves because we feel self-consiouss. The Lord instructed the gopis to approach Him in order to perform prapatti without feeling self-consiouss. The jeevatmas are all feminine in nature and the only true male is the Lord. Hence the jeevatmas are represented as the gopi girls. They approach the Lord without being afraid of moclery when they come out of the water without their dress and perform saranagathi. While performing Bakthi Yoga we should leave behind our inhibition and chant His name loudly. We shouldn’t feel embarassed to wear the thiruman srichurnam, bear the marks of disc & conch on our shoulders or to wear the prescribed dress.
