FEATURES OF LORD KRISHNA : THE BLUE COLOUR ( PART 2 )

Today again i am writing about the different implications of the blue colour of LORD KRISHNA .

# The blue colour can also be a symbol of ocean . LORD KRISHNA is as vast as an ocean . Like an ocean , HE conveys the qualities of calmness , tranquility and completeness .


# I have found out two interesting scientific symbolisms also - :

a) Blue or black can resemble the BLACK HOLE as well . Black hole attracts even the light ! Like that LORD KRISHNA can conquer anyone upon HIS will . HE is the SUPREME ( - the ALL - ATTRACTIVE ONE ) .


b) Blue signifies both spatial ( or horizontal ) and vertical , which can be termed as plane and depth . What i can make out of this particular theoey is that LORD KRISHNA signifies both earthly pleasures ( horizontal ) as well as spiritual progress (vertical ) .


# Blue is a colour between 2 extreme colours - black and white (though i think grey colour comes exactly between black and white , but anyway , i liked this interpretation also ) . In this way blue ( that is LORD KRISHNA , ) signifies the meeting place of two equally opposing forces ( as in MAHABHARAT ) .


# According to vaishnav tradition the blue colour reflects pure love (that is MADHURYA RAS as mentioned by ROOP GOSWAMI ) . This colour attracts and makes everyone fall in love with the LORD .


# HIS colour is SHYAM ( which means bluish black ) , which itself is a colour of conjugal love .


# In literature we find that blue colour reflects beauty , strength , power or force . These all are the attributes of the LORD .


At the end we have to remember that the word KRISHNA actually means 'dark in colour ' in sanskrit . After discussing all these symbolisms still we won't be able to completely understand HIS qualities . Here i am ending this topic . Next day i will try to write about another feature of the LORD .
Praying for HIS blessings for all .
With best wishes
Dpriya
