Actual picture of Lord Krishna

 

( Krishna as how He appeared in His late teens, after killing Kamsa)  

On 6-9-1977 Swami Sathya Sai Baba gave a historic discourse on the Divine Life and times of Lord Krishna.

 Swami said, "Lord Shri Krishna wore a necklace of green beads, a nose ring of pearl, and on his right ear a ring of pearls. He wore no shirt or coat. Just yellow silk around his waist and a turban wound around the head".

 The peacock feather that is described by poets and sages was not always worn. It was stuck in the turban occasionally. Peacocks abound in Brindavan and are in plenty even today. On his bare chest, there was a mole that could be clearly seen, a mark of all Avatars.  

 Krishna's complexion was neither fair nor dark. It was 3 parts dark and 1 part fair, an amalgam of both. Since they were Vaishnavas the parents placed a line of musk on the centre of the brow. He wore silver bangles on His wrists those that cowherd boys wore those days in that part of the country.

*Krishna's complexion is described as 'neela megha shyama' in scriptures.It refers to the complexion of rain filled clouds.Rain filled clouds are 3 parts dark and 1 part bright*

( The time of Shri Krishna's advent was about 5000 years ago and Shri Rama,20 000 years ago ) 

 These authentic forms of Krishna were materialised by Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba.

( Materialise means to create by Divine will. In divine plane,time and space do not exist.They only affect the physical plane. Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba is known to materialize items and gifts for devotees with the swing of His hand - be it from the times of Krishna or Rama )

 SHIVA SUTRA,SUTRA 3.18 :

 SVAMAATRAA NIRMAANAM AAPAADAYATI 

 Translation : Experiencing that this objective world is the product of his subjective consciousness, he can create and manifest any object or matter or occurrence that he thinks or desires in this Universe, within time and space

Baba has also materialised a lot of fascinating items that existed during the Ramayana - Click here to view 

The image of Krishna above also has an interesting occurrence in Mathura. 

Quoting from authentic source :  

In Mathura, some portraits of lord Krishna were placed on His altar and the curtains were closed...Miraculously, this particular picture had Chandanam paste and flower showered over it... So, this particular portrait of Krishna is believed to be blessed by Krishna Himself..."" 

Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba also narrates :

 The Kankans ( bangles ) that Krishna wore were not mere bangles or kankans. 

They had profound implications.One rite that every Hindu has to honor before embarking on any enterprise of a sacred nature like performing a Yajna or undertaking a vow or taking on a new stage of life was the tying of a Kankan to the wrist in memory of the determination that he evinces to fulfill that vow or carry out the duties of that stage of life.

Krishna had taken 3 vows and the Kankans were symbolic of his determination to fulfill them. They are as mentioned by Him in the Gita:

(Dharma Samsthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge) : I shall incarnate in every age to revive Dharma.

(Yogakshemam Vahamyaham) : I shall bear the burden of ensuring peace and prosperity of all who rely on Me.

(Mokshayishyami Maa Sucha) : I shall save all those who surrender wholeheartedly to Me and I shall liberate them from the cycle of birth and death.

 

 

Krishna at the age of 8

 These are the actual images of Lord Krishna - as materialized by Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba. He gifted a ring with the actual picture of Krishna to a devotee named Ramesh Adhikari. He was the husband of Bharosha, a woman whom Sathya Sai resurrected from death and filled her life with miracles...

Meditation on this picture has proven to be extremely powerful to many
