Why does Lord Krishna wear peacock feather on His head?
It signifies Lord's askalitha brahmacharitva (means perfect/eternal celibate). Lord wears it to signify that his a ajanma brahmachari/nitya brahmachari. It is proven when Lord revives the foetus of the womb of uttara.(who is none other than maharaja parikshit son of abhimanyu).
Peacock is the only species which doesn't reproduce through the samyoga of male and female reproductory organs, the peahen collects tears of peacock(which contain reproduction cells) and lay eggs.
The peacock feather on the crown of Lord Krishna is considered a symbol of good fortune. According to mythological beliefs, the gods and goddesses took shelter of peacock feathers to protect themselves from the Asura, called Asanga.
The flute is symbolic of the spine which has apertures. On activation of all the chakras, the vayu blows through this spine in the sukshma sharira and enables the tapasvi to do sattvic karmas and other high class siddhis. Swami Sivananda had written that on reaching closer to the inner divine a tapasvi hears the sound of the flute and bell inside his head. (not like a hallucination).
Once, Lord Krishna asked his devotees what they would like to become in his hands. Some said the lotus, some the conch, some the chakra and so on, but no one mentioned the flute.
Krishna advised them to become his flute. In his discourse to his devotees, he said that in the human personality structure, as in the flute, there are 8 main spots: The five organs of perception, mind, intellect, and ego. If you get rid of your ego and become like a hollow reed flute, then the Lord will come to you, pick you up, put his lips and breathe through you and out of the hollowness of your heart, the captivating melody will emerge for all creations to enjoy. But if you will continue your attitude of dislike, hatred and jealousy, the Lord will distance himself from you, since you will be useless for his purpose.
