172 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 8

‘Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your
homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. | promise you this be-
cause you are My very dear friend.” (Bg. 18.65)

In Brahma-sarmhita it is stated (5.27-28):

atha venu-ninddas ya
trayi-morti-mayi gatih

sphuranti pravivesasu
mukhdabjani svayarnbhuvah

gayatrim gayatas tasmad
adhigatya saroja-jah

samskrtas cadi-guruna
dvijatam agamat tatah

trayya prabuddho ‘tha vidhir
vijfiadta-tattva-sdgarah

tustava veda-sarena
stotrenanena kesavam

“Then Gayatri, mother of the Vedas, having been manifested by the divine sound
of Sri Krsna’s flute, entered the lotus mouth of Brahmi, the self-born, through his
eight earholes. The lotus-born Brahma received the gdayatri-mantra, which had
sprung from the song of Sri Krsna’s flute. Thus he attained twice-born status, hav-
ing been initiated by the supreme primal preceptor, Godhead Himself. Enlightened
by the recollection of that gayatri, which embodies the three Vedas, Brahma be-
came acquainted with the expanse of the ocean of truth. Then he worshiped Sri
Krsna, the essence of all the Vedas, with a hymn.”

The vibration of Krsna’s flute is the origin of the Vedic hymns. Lord Brahma,
who is seated on a lotus flower, heard the sound vibration of Krsna’s flute and was
thereby initiated by the gayatri-mantra.
