Dear Friends,
Last week, I was very Happy to attend a Satyanarayan Katha at my neighbourhood. The description the Beauty of Shri Hari from Uddhava Geeta, (a part of Shimad Bhagwat) was repeating itself in my mind while listening to the Katha, so thought to share it with all of you. This description comes in the 14thAdhyaya of the 11th Skanda of Shrimad Bhagwat :
(source:- http://srimadbhagavatam.com/11/14/en)
-"That form (of the Lord) is Perfectly Proportioned, Gentle and Cheerful. It possesses Four Beautiful Long Arms, a Charming, Beautiful Neck, a Handsome Forehead, a Pure Smile and Glowing, Shark-shaped Earrings suspended from two identical ears. That Spiritual Form is the Colour of a Dark Rain Cloud and is garbed in Golden-Yellowish Silk. The Chest of that form is the abode of 'Srivatsa' ( this peculiar mark on the chest of the Lord is formed by the particular curls of the hair) and the goddess of fortune (Lakshmi), and that form is also decorated with a Conchshell, Disc, Club, Lotus flower and Garland of forest flowers. The two Brilliant Lotus Feet are decorated with Ankle Bells and Bracelets, and that form exhibits the 'Kaustubha' gem along with an effulgent Crown. The upper hips are beautified by a Golden Belt, and the arms are decorated with valuable Bracelets. All of the limbs of that Beautiful Form capture the heart, and the Face is Beautified by Merciful Glancing. .."-
Dear Friends, such is the Beauty of the Lord that we do fall short of words to describe it! It just stays in our heart with all its Brilliance, all its Glow!! My heart just Leapt with Joy while attending the Katha yesterday!
And with it I was also remembering the Picture of Shri Hari from our Mahabharat Title Song. That image was in my mind throughout the whole time of the Katha. Just tried to save the Pic from YouTube and post it here, but I guess, only one picture is allowed per post here in Blogger.
