KRISHNA KARNAMRUTA-Sloka-4

Barhottamsa vilasi kunthala bharam maadhurya magnaanam

Pronmilan navayauvanam pravilasad venu pranaadaamrutam

Aapina sthana kutmalaabhirabhito gopibhi raaradhitam

Jyotischetasinas chakasthi  jagata mekaabhi raamaadbhutaam.

Leela Shuka doesn’t consider Krishna as an ordinary lad! To him Krishna is the embodiment of Supreme Reality or Brahman. It is this form that has to be fixed and worshipped in the sadhaka's mind. There is no other way for the Sadhaka to escape from the cycle of Samsara and that of birth and death. It is im possible to describe the wonderful beauty of his chosen Lord. With extraordinary mobile and attractive eyes and electrifying looks He is moving about the sand dunes of the Yamuna river. His blue color and ethereal beauty kindle sexual feelings in others! He is being observed by His spouse Sri Devi or Mahalakshmi.

The poet desires to worship such an exceptional Lord and sits in deep meditation or Dhyana. Touched and pleased by the Bhaktha’s pure devotion, Krishna appears in a vision at which the poet is overwhelmed with indescribable joy and wonder. His poetic zeal immediately tries to commemorate the Lord's presence in his heart and he attempts to portray the Divine beauty of Balakrishna in his inimitable style.

Krishna’s locks of hair are beautifully decorated with peacock feathers! His face is beautiful beyond description. His figure is brisk with signs of upcoming youthfulness! The music that emanates from His flute is sweet and melodious like amruta or Divine nectar! The Gopikas on hearing the delectable music experience an onrush of feeling in their breasts, surround Lord Krishna and serve Him to satisfy their desires! Entire world is amazed at this enchanting vision full of radiance!

The Bhagavata purana describes the heavenly beauty of child Krishna and his Divine sports in NandaGokulam. The Gopikas were harassed by young Krishna in many ways but mesmerized by His celestial beauty they could not or Him! They complain to mother Yasoda but Krishna knows how to wriggle out of any tight corner! Among the Azwars, Sri Kulasekhara Azwar, in his “Mukundamala”  glorifies the Divine attributes of Lord Krishn
