Here is a short meditation on Krsna which I wrote for one of my counsellee meetings:
Imagine water trickling - softly - over a low river bed
There are some shiny stones visible in the clear water
As you move your eyes up you see a foot - it is pink underneath and grey/blue on top
The nails are shiny, clear and cut short
There is a sweet smell - indescribable - emanating from this foot
As your eyes move up you see a slender leg - grey/blue and so soft - like cotton wool
Slowly your eyes move up and you see that this person is wearing a yellow dhoti on his lower part of the body.
It is silk and soft to touch
There is a red cloth belt tied around the waist - with a flute tucked into it.
The flute is made of bamboo wood
You see this man is bare chested - his chest broad and strong yet youthful.
On his chest is a necklace with a valuable jewel
Around his neck and hanging to his waist is a fragrant flower garland - white - with bees sweetly droning around it
His neck has markings on it in 3 places
His face is revealed ...
You see his lotus like eyes - they are broad and clear - with a reddish tinge
His nose is small like a button
His lips are red and smiling at you
His hair is soft, shiny and hangs in curls around his shoulders
He has shark shaped earrings
In his hair is a peacock feather - slightly fluttering in the gentle breeze
This is Krishna
The supreme personality of godhead
From him- this person you see in front of you - emanates planets and universes
From him - the man in front of you - all demigods bow and take instructions
This man is time personified
This man knows past, present and future
This man has entered into every universe, living entity, atom and .... your heart.
This man sitting in front of you now is your supreme goal both in this life and after your dead
How well do YOU know this man?
