Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Murali, is another name for Bansuri, the flute played by Lord Krishna
A description of the experience
from Caturvedi no 166 translated by Professor John Stratton Hawley
Murali sounds on the banks of the Jumna
Murali snatches away my mind,
My senses cut loose from their moorings -
Dark waters
Dark garments
Dark Lord
I listen close to the sounds of Murali
And my body withers away -
Lost thoughts, lost, even the power to think.
Mira's Lord
Clever Mountain lifter
Come, quick
Snatch away my pain.
