·�lways think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your
homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because
you are My very dear friend." (Bg. 18.65)
In Brahma-sarhhita it is stated (5.27-28):
atha vef)u-ninadasya
trayi-mOrti-mayi gatib
sphuranti pravivesasu
mukhabjani svayarhbhuvab
gayatrirh gayatas tasmad

"Then Gayatri, mother of the Vedas, having been manifested by the divine sound
of Sri Kr�r:Ja's flute, entered the lotus mouth of Brahma, the self-born, through his
eight earholes. The lotus-born Brahma received the gayatri-mantra, which had
sprung from the song of Sri Kr�r:Ja'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
Kr�r:Ja, the essence of all the Vedas, with a hymn."
The vibration of Kr�r:Ja's flute is the origin of the Vedic hymns. Lord Brahma,
who is seated on a lotus flower, heard the sound vibration of Kr�r:Ja's flute and was
thereby initiated by the gayatri-mantra.
