gayatri

The word Klim added to the Gayatri Mantra is explained in Brahma Samhita as the transcendental seed of love of Godhead, or the seed of the Kamagayatri. The object is Krishna, Who is the evergreen Cupid. And, by utterance of Klim Mantra, Krishna is worshipped. In the Gopal Tapini Upanishad, it is further stated that when we speak of Krishna as Cupid we should not misunderstand that He is the Cupid of this material world. As we have explained, Vrindaban is the Spiritual Abode of Krishna, and so this word Cupid is also spiritual and transcendental. One should not misunderstand the material Cupid and Krishna as being on the same level. Material Cupid is the attraction of this external flesh and body, but the spiritual Cupid is the attraction of the Supersoul upon the individual soul.    (More...)

In the Brahma Samhita there is a nice description of the flute of Krishna.

This OM is composed of three letters: A, U, and M, or a description of our relationship with the Supreme Lord. It describes our activities to achieve the highest perfection of love, and the actual position of the loving condition in the spiritual platform.
