22 Krishna is the reservoir of all beauty



Krishna is the reservoir of all beauty

The Bhagavad-gita states that everything comes from Krishna. In the
tenth chapter, He says that He is the source of all material and
spiritual worlds.


As the Universal Form, Krishna's features are bewildering even to his
pure devotees. But, in His original feature with two hands holding a
flute, He is unlimitedly attractive. Devotees are interested in
worshiping Krishna in His original form.


The source of anything contains all the qualities present in the
emanation and more. For example, in our homes we have the benefit of
electricity which ultimately comes from a large power station situated
miles away. We can understand that the power station's capacity to
generate electricity far exceeds the tiny amount that we have access
to in our homes. The beauty of Krishna far exceeds anything that is
present in His creation.


The attractive features of Krishna have been classified in six
different divisions by the great sages. He is 1. All beautiful,
possessing perfect bodily characteristics, 2. All knowing, 3.
Completely renounced, 4. The strongest person, 5. The most wealthy,
and 6. The most famous.


The more we learn about Krishna, His appearance, His qualities, and
His personality, the more we will be attracted to Him and our natural
love for Him will be awakened.
