Mythical traditions around the persona of Sri Krishna are entertaining and philosophically rich in equal measures. According to his devotes, when Krishna sits on his favourite Kadamba tree and plays the Mahananda flute, the tunes thus produced capture Radha’s heart, and she comes running, longing for the company of her treasured Krishna. Radha’s yearning for Krishna is seen as a symbolism for the soul’s yearning for the Ultimate Truth, whose personification is Krishna.
