PLATE SIX

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, the Supersoul in the
hearts of all living entities, descends in His original form as a human
being in the dynasty of Yadu. By His pleasing smiles, His affectionate
behavior, His instructions and His uncommon pastimes like raising
Govardhana Hill, Lord Krsna pleases all of human society. Although the
Lord’s form exactly resembles that of a human being, His form is dif-
ferent from ours, for it is completely spiritual and thus attractive to
everyone. Krsna’s body is the essence of loveliness, and, as the only
abode of beauty, fame and opulence, it is self-perfect and ever-fresh.
One of the gopis once playfully warned her friend about the power of
Krsna’s attraction: ““My dear friend, if you are at all attached to your
worldly friends, do not look at the smiling face of Lord Govinda as He
stands on the bank of the Yamuna at Kesi-ghata. Casting sidelong
glances, He places His flute to His lips, which seem like newly blossomed
twigs. His transcendental body, bending in three places, appears very
bright in the moonlight.” (p. 248)
