SRI KRISHNA.
The blue color of Sri Krishna is different from others. Not only Sri Krishna but Shiva Shankar also appears in blue color and sometimes maa kali also appears in blue as well as in black color.
The colors are the beautiful and matchless creation of the god.
The color of the Sri Krishna is like a puzzle. Devotees’ answers , from the starting Sri Krishna, are always in blue color.
SOME REASONS:-
1 . indicating different , unique and powerful
2 . Traditional reasons
3 . Media such as television showing him blue color
4 . Sometimes it is said that blue color is the reflection of his aura
ACTUAL COLOUR COMPLEXION OF SRI KRISHNA :-
1 . No one knows the actual color complexion of Sri Krishna but in some text it is mentioned that his color is like cloud /Megha before rain. The word used for his complexion is shyam. According to Bhagwat Geeta he is described as Shyam, a dark color.
“ Sarva aakarshit iti Krishna “ Krishna also means something black .
KRISHNA AURA:-
1 ..He is neither too black nor dark. He is a mixture of both black and flax flower color. That is, some different blue colors appear to us. But the blue color may also indicate the aura of Sri Krishna. The blue color is the symbol of infinity, royalty, serenity, mystery, eternity and divine.
2 . Every person has its own aura. But it is a little tough to see the aura for normal people. Strong Meditation is required for the aura.
3 . Aura is the intense concentrated, powerful, positive, internal energy of that person. It is also called Abha.
4 . Example – Not only Sri Krishna, but Shiva and Kali , Narayan ,Sri Ram are also shown in blue color.
5 . Example – Shani is shown in black color
6 . Example – Devi Matangi ( one other dasamahavidhya) of Shakti is shown in green color.
7 . Example – Gautam Buddha, has a strong aura and also showed it around his head. Whenever he moved from any place, people were attracted towards him, he had strong conversation power and Knowledge. Even Angulimar became his disciple after meeting Gautam Buddha.
ANCIENT IMAGE OF SANATAN GODS.
SOME OTHER CONCLUSION:-
1 . In Bharat, South people denote their god according to their color complexion. They show God in dark colors. Because of the climatic and Environmental conditions the south people look dark so they also assume their god is dark. But in other parts the gods are shown in fair complexion.
2 . Media such as Television played a major reason for showing Srinkrishna in blue color. Even South people also showed him in blue, not in black color.
3 . A famous painter Raja Ravi Varma drew many paintings. One of them was Yashoda and Krishna painting. In his painting, he filled the blue color skin of Sri Krishna. So,it can happen that from that time blue color is shown in the body of Shri Krishna.
4 . He drew many paintings of other sanatan gods and goddesses. He drew the advanced and attractive form of gods and goddesses at that time. The feeling of the appearance of real gods was shown in his painting. The images look actual and people were easily found connected towards their gods.
5 . Before Raja Ravi Varma painting, there were also paintings and sketches and statues were found but the images were only in the line form. There were no colors filled. The pictures were not very attractive.
6 . A devotee wants to connect with their gods. A devotee / person wants to feel, talk, express their emotions, sentiments, devotion, love, and faith directly with God. So, making humans like images, colors, dimensions and colorful paints helped in connecting better, which was a little bit of a hindrance in connecting from an outline / sketches of the god .
MY OPINION / EXPERIENCES / CONCLUSION ON THE BLUE COLOR OF THE SRI KRISHNA:-
The color is the most beautiful and unique creation of the gods. Through Colors a person expresses its joy, feeling, love , divinity, attractions , happiness etc. Even the 7 kundalini are also present in different colors. Each color has its uniqueness and qualities. Similarly, the black color or dark color is the symbol of secret and horrible. The blue color shows royalty, infinity etc.
Many Vedas and text books have Sri Krishna mentioned as Shyam or Krishna or dark complexion. But in true devotion, love and faith ,does it need any color complexion.
Sri Krishna is not giving blessings according to our color, caste or sex. so, I am also loving him for his Bhagwat Geeta knowledge, supremacy and sanatan identity.
May be the dark color incarnation of Sri Krishna was for removing the skin color discrimination among the people. Because of our mindset we can’t accept that our God looks black . So, it may be possible that Raja Ravi Varma made Sri Krishna a picture in blue color complexion.
As no one texts mention blue color but only shyam.
Imagine the blue color incarnation of Sri Krishna in that time ,looks Alien. Therefore maybe he chose Shyam complexion at that time.
