Dear Guest,

Krishna took birth with black complexion and he never grow old since his body is not materialistic.

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

The divine color of Krishna is not representable in the color spectrum our eye perceives, so sometimes it is painted like this or that.

[Kamalasana Das 0]

blackish is known as Syamasundar, blended in three parts, beyond the material modes - optics.

The closest comparison of Krishna's color in our material capacity is the color of fresh rain cloud. That is neither blue nor black. I guess this is also not a perfect comparison. But somewhere a little close

[Jahnava Nitai Das 2]

Krishna's color is known as ghana shyama, the dark color of a rain cloud. Sometimes he appears bluish like the blue lotus (example is the form Tulasidas saw of Ramachandra). You need to understand the Lord's unlimited nature before you can understand His color.

 

Krishna is nava yauvanam, meaning ever youthful.

Radhe Krishna,

 

jndasji, Shrimad Bhagavatham, is again the best source to imagine the chithachora, who gave darshan to so many bhakthas and immediately after that they submitted their sthuthi at his lotus feet. Bhagavatha sthuthis are the best source to understand the roopalavanya of the chithachora. m short of time. but lemme try to see him through the eyes of narada's description to dhruva.

dear Prabhu,

Dont worry about krishna`s colour, worry more about bhakti and devotional service,

krishna will reveal why he is his colour when he decides to.

hare krishna

Radhe Krishna,

 

Kamalasana Dasji, Radhe Krishna, It is Chathurtha Skanda - Adyaya -8 wherein u find the description by Narada about Bhagawan. Shloka 44-49.

"Prasadabhimukham Shashwath Prasanna vadanekshanam

sunasam subruvam charu kapolam surasundaram" 44

 

Shrivatsangam Ghanashyamam purusham vanamaalinam

Shanka chakra gadha padmaihi Abhivyaktha chathurbhujam" 46

 

........ "Darshaneeya tamam shantham mano nayana vardhanam" 49

 

I hope above sholkas are self explanatory.

Befor Dhruva goes to tapasya, Shri Narada guides him as to how to do tapasya, bless him with "Dwadasakshari", and describe him the rupa lavanya of Bhagawan.

In the 9th adyaya Shri dhruva gets Dharshan of Bhagawan and submits his Dhruva sthuthi which is one of the most beautiful sthuthis in Shrimad Bhagavatham.

 

Radhe Krishna
