"Glory to the Avatars of Aryavarta! Glory to Krishna, The Avatar of Love!
The music of the Murali liberated the prisoners of Mathura. The music of the Murali set free the parents of Krishna.
The music of the Murali saved the Gopis of Vrindavan from the tyranny of their husbands. The musical note of the Flute freed the people from the tyranny of their king.
The heavenly music saved the soul from slavery’s bonds.
Would the Murali send its song of freedom again?
Would Krishna take His birth again in the dark cells of our heart?
Would the prison-doors open wide once more and set free our souls?"
