Next Picture

Radha has stolen Krsna's flute or He has asked Her to teach Him how to play and He has given it to Her. This is an even sweeter fruit of the eyes, to see Radha teach Krsna how to play the flute. The gopis are seeing Radhika tell Krsna, "You have made a mistake in Your flute-playing. You don't know how to play a melody. May I play?" Then Krsna gives Her the flute and She plays better than Krsna. Rupa and Raghunatha Gosvamis have described this pastime in their poetry.
