Krishna's skin color is blue or black ? Krishna means black, but why is he shown blue in pictures or images ?

 


The color of Lord Krishna's skin is blue or black. It is the eternal confusion of human beings.


          The Vishnu Stotra says,

          शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं

          विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम् ।

          Translation - Always calm is his form, who sleeps in the bed of the Sheshnag, from whose navel the lotus originates, who is the lord of all gods, he is the base of the whole world, eternal like the sky and his color equal to the clouds



          According to the Puranas, the color of Lord Vishnu's body is "equal to the rain cloud, that is, slightly black, slightly blue".


       Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Krishna with his complete art. So the color of the body of Lord Krishna and the color of the body of Lord Vishnu are the same. 


         Krishna means 'black', and Krishna means 'eternal'. This universe is endless and dark. And Lord Krishna is the form of the eternal universe, so He looks black, but in reality He has no color.


          There is a reason behind his blue color. The sky we see from Earth is actually the Infinite Universe, which, though black, shows the causality of the Earth's atmosphere. Lord Krishna is shown in blue to convey this philosophy. Because man never gets to see his real form. Maya is subdued and abandons her sincere qualities and condemns her actions, but she never wants to understand the secret of her pastime.

Introduction to Maharshi Kashyap

                Sage Kashyap's identity is found in "Ramayana, Mahabharata, Brahmapurana, Shivapurana and Srimadbhagavata Mahapurana". But the details of him and all other sages are found in 'Vishnu Purana'. Now come to the identity of sage Kashyap.                   At the beginning of creation, Brahma created the "sage Angira from the mouth, the Atri from the eye, the Vashistha from the soul, the Marichi from the mind, the Pulast from the ear, the Pulah from the navel, and the Kratu sage from the arm." In the Puranas, these seven sages are called "Saptarshi" . Brahma then "created Vrigu Rishi from his skin and Daksharaj from his thumb" . Then 'Ardhanarishvara' is manifested from the head of Brahma, when Brahma divides it from the middle, the spontaneous "Manu" (Manu meaning the father of the human race) and the "Shatarupara" originate from the female part . Shatarupa means "hundreds of forms who...

Who was the most powerful warrior in the Mahabharata? Arjun, Bhishma, Karna or someone else?

 Undoubtedly 'Lord Krishna'. But He is Paramabrahma, He is omnipotent so it is not reasonable to compare anyone with Him. For this reason, it is better to keep him away from it.            It is very difficult to say who is the strongest, so let's first see who is the strongest by describing their strength. 'Bhishma, Karna, Arjuna or Bhima', or someone else? Karna 1 / Karna was the 'son of the Sun god' , that is why he was a very brave warrior. 2 / He was born with 'Divine armor and earrings'. 3 / He was a disciple of 'Parashuram' and Parashuram gave him many powerful weapons like 'Agneastra, Barunastra, Nagastra, Vargabastra and Ekpurushatini'. 4 / Parasurama taught Karna to run 'Brahmastra' but later he cursed Karna which resulted in Karna forgetting its application when great fear appeared. 5 / By donating armor and ear rings to Devaraja Indra, he got the infallible 'Vaijayanti weapon'. 6 / During the abduction ...
