Unravelling the Mysteries of the Divine: Krishna

Unravelling the Mysteries of the Divine: Krishna

Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, has been revered as one of the most influential deities of ancient Vedic belief. A benevolent force, Lord Krishna differs from the other deities of the Hindu pantheon for his intrinsically human, childlike personality. Often depicted playing the flute, the deity is characterised by his blue-tinted skin. The lord of Bhakti, or true selfless spiritual devotion, Lord Krishna’s relationship with his consort Radha is symbolic of the balance and interplay of the universe as a whole. A popular sloka dedicated to Lord Krishna describes him as so:

 

“Athasee pushpa sangasam Hara noopura Shobitham

Rathna kankan a keyuram Krishnam Vande Jagat Gurum”

 

This, when translated, reads:


“I pay salutations to the Lord of the Universe, who decorates himself with the flowers of Athasee.

He is radiant with resplendent garlands and anklets. His right hands wear bangles mottled with gems and jewels.”
