Why krishna chosed flute as his musical instrument?any specific reason behind it?
You want to know the reason for Lord Krishna selecting flute as his instrument.. Even when He is not playing it, it is safely tucked in His waist band, never leaving Him. Be at play with the gopa boys or minding the cows or picnicking by the Jamuna, He keeps His flute always by His side. The flute in Lord Krishna’s divine hands stands for each one of us. The flute has eight holes, using which divine music is brought out by the player. So too, we have eight parts of our personality – the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin (at the level of the body), the mind and intellect and the ego (which makes me think that I am different from others). So we can be compared to a flute, of which God is the player. If we do only what we want, without thinking of what is right and wrong and what God likes, our ‘flute’ will only produce harsh noise, not music. But if we surrender our lives to the Lord, and empty ourselves of negative qualities like anger, dishonesty, and hatred, then the Lord will lift us up
