Q2 Did Shree Krishna play the flute for Maa Rukhminiji? A2 Shri RukminiAtmajaa,14h Thankyou Padmanabha Priya for requesting my answer😊 Ofcourse, Shri Krishna would have played his flute for his Queens atDvaraka. There is a mention of him playing his flute in the palace ofDvaraka. Oking, then Narada began to play on his Vina which with six scales and Ragas[2]brings about the concentration of mind, Krishna began to perform Hallishaka[3] accompanied with themusic of his flute and Partha began to play on his Mridanga:[4]other leading Apsaras played on various other instruments. Thereupon afterAsarita, the beautiful Rambha, a clever actress, rose up, played, and pleasedRama and Keshava. Afterward, O king, Urvashi, having beautiful and expansiveeyes, Hima, Mishrakeshi, Tilottama, Menaka and other celestial actresses roseup in order and pleased Hari with singing and dancing. Having his mindattracted by their charming singing and dancing Vasudeva pleased them all withpresents after their own heart. O prince, those honorable and leading Apsaras,who had been brought there, were honored with betel leaves at the desire ofKrishna. (68-72.) ~ Harivamsha Hereeven though Maa Rukmini or Maa Satyabhama’s name is not mentioned explicitly,we must keep in mind that this was happening in the Dvaraka Palace, so herenothing happens when the Queens of Dvaraka are Absent, they never leaveDvaraka. Also, there are many temples, especially inthe Southern part of India, where Shri Venugopal Svami is worshipped with ShriRukmini Satyabhama, which are more than 800 — 1000 years old. Allthe above Images are from many different temples of South India. The abovedeities are Shri RukminiSatyabhama sameth Venugopal Svami. Thesetemples can be considered as authority, as they are ancient and can be taken ashistorical evidences, and many historians too believe so. Temple carvings and ancient Artifacts.

There are so many references and provesthat Shri Krishna did play his flute for his beloved Queens. Now, still there will be few people who wouldn't be able to digestthis fact, I have nothing to say to them. I guess even Krishna wouldn't be ableconvince you :) StayHappy✌️ My note- I have read a legend regarding Radha and her lastdays.

A4 Samantha Kannan, Studied Psychology20h Iwas a very serious minimalist when I was in college. At one point my room waslike this On purpose. Iwas proud that my possessions could fit in a closet and I could have acompletely empty room at any time. Sometimes I wish that were still the case 😅 Sleeping on the floor relieved my chronicback pain I'vestruggled with since my youth. Having few possessions meant I spentless time cleaningand organizing. Ialso saved money because I avoided shopping. Overall I was very relaxed at thattime. I read an article a few years ago that saidone reason we feel more atpeace while on vacation isn't because we're in a beautiful place or haveactivities to look forward to. It'sbecause there is no clutter surrounding us. In a clean space with only ouressentials, we are able to thrive. Thissmall thing, keeping a clean and decluttered space, is so important. Thatis why the first week of January I spend every spare moment purging everything we don't needor cannot use. It is one of my favorite things to do. Edit:Nowhere did I say that we live like this presently. Referring back to the firstparagraph, I said clearly, “sometimes I wish that were still the case,“implying that my home is no longer minimalistic. To those making accusationsthat i am depriving the baby of anything, kindly improve your readingcomprehension. All the above QA are from Quora DIGEST to me on 12-09-2023.
