24" Krishna Inlay Brass

Krishna is always depicted as the Blue God. It means that the body is so transparent almost as if it was not there. Whatever is infinity is represented by blue. The sky is blue and so is the ocean. Krishna always stand with one foot firmly on the ground the other foot crossed over as though it is touching but not really touching. It is elsewhere. This is called ‘tribhangy’ pose, implying perfect balance. He holds the flute in his hands with a smile on his face. The holed flute represents our bodies into which means he is giving us life the “prana shakti”. According to Lord Krishna human has four aims called purusharthas to achieve “Dharma’ related to one’s duty. Ultimately this is about leading a righteous life. “Kama” related to pleasure of life. Achieve them- live them. “Artha” means prosperity. “Moksha” when a human achieves moksha, they break free from the cycle of samsara. Lord Krishna taught us how to live our lives graciously, in true form. He taught us to love without expectation. He also provides highest of teachings that provide an ideal model for the world. The Bhagavad Gita says that we need to establish individual peace and collective peace first and foremost.
