I am so attracted by all the colorful, beautiful paintings and feel enlightened by the words from the scripture. <br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-56197217704025069742016-08-31T16:26:51.499+05:302016-08-31T16:26:51.499+05:30Thank you so much for your kind appreciation and f...Thank you so much for your kind appreciation and for asking the question, Barb. I appreciate it so much; it gives me something to think about as well. Thank you for asking.<br /><br />Those marble feet... they are called lotus feet by the devotees who worship Lord Krishna. I am not a learned and I am sure these must have a deeper meaning but I will try to put in my simple words, in a way that I understand them:<br /><br />When we bow down, surrender and take shelter in the tender holy loving feet of Lord Krishna, the all pervading authority of the Universe, all our sorrows (material, spiritual and emotional) are absorbed in the sweetness contained in His lotus feet. So powerful is the fragrance of such a union, that our hearts no matter how fragile, like flowers, are drenched in His sweetness love and they bloom in love again.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606566484548310912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-12749641230449055222016-08-31T12:07:19.299+05:302016-08-31T12:07:19.299+05:30Such a beautiful post, Arti.

May I ask you a question? What are the marble feet signifying? (I hope I'm not being rude with this question.) This quote speaks to me: "It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."

I feel He is still telling Bhagwadgeeta to all of us, we just need to pay attention to Him and He is here in our lives. So blessed to have Darshna of the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. :)Mohinihttp://www.narayankripa.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-38375169779592518202016-08-29T17:20:55.189+05:302016-08-29T17:20:55.189+05:30Lovely post Arti!
