Traditional Description:
This beautiful three feet tall statue of Lord Krishna
playing his flute is cast from gold-like glittering brass and has excellent
detail and form.
As if overwhelmed by the melody pouring from his flute, Krishna appears to burst into a divine rapture. This
image has around it an aura of transcendence. It is unique in its adherence to
classical norms, while at the same time exhibiting great beauty. Krishna has been installed on an elaborate high 'pitha',
pedestal, which adds further grace. Krishna's
mode is 'lasya' the dance that defines love, beauty, creation and aesthetic
delight. As the incarnation of Vishnu, he is the lord of all three worlds. The
image reveals this aspect by analogy using a number of symbols. His headdress
comprises three components: a 'prabha' type circle on the back, a crown towards
the forehead, and a towering apex which three peacock-feathers surmount. The
'prabha', which the crown representing the Supreme pervades, again consists of
three rings, representing three worlds. Three feathers comprise the apex. The
crown alone defines oneness; that is, the plurality of cosmic existence is only
the magnification of the One who pervades all. This symbolism of number 'three'
has been repeated in three curves of the figure, form of girdle, and similar
other things.
The best description of Lord Krishna and his life can be found in
Paramahansa Yogananda's translation of and commentary on The Bhagavad
Gita:
God Talks with Arjuna.
