KRSNA, THE ALL – ATTRACTIVE FLUTE – PLAYER
Ornaments caress Krsna’s body, but the transcendental body of Krsna is so beautiful that it beautifies the ornaments He wears. Therefore Krsna’s body is said to be the ornament of ornaments. Enhancing the wonderful beauty of Krsna is His three-curved style of standing, which beautifies that form. Above all these beautiful features, Krsna’s eyes dance and move obliquely, acting like arrows to pierce the minds of Srimati Radharani and the other gopis. When the arrow succeeds in hitting its target, their minds become agitated.
Lord Krsna has many pastimes, of which His pastimes as a human being are the best. His form as a human being is the supreme transcendental form. In this form He is a cowherd boy, He carries a flute in His hand, and His youth is new. He is also an expert dancer. All this is just suitable for His pastimes as a human being.
The sweet, attractive transcendental form of Krsna is so nice. One should try to understand it. Even a fractional understanding of Krsna’s beauty can merge all three worlds in the ocean of love, for He attracts all living entities.
