Sree Chaitanyaji, Please accept my Pranam. I have seen your many Gita Prabhashanams. I appreciate your knowledge in Gita and Bhagavatam. In your speeches, many times I heard Ramayana katha or Bhagavata katha . You are teaching these scriptures are like stories. How you can tell these are stories and you are telling there is no figure(form) for Krishna. How you can tell krishna has no form. In Brahmasamhita, Brahma describes the beautiful figure. All the scriptures says about Krishna’s beauty. If krishna is not having form then how the beauty comes. Your classes are good, but some points are confusing the viewers and giving some wrong information, apart from the scriptures. If I made any mistake please forgive and correct me. Sureshbabu.

Thank you for the kind words. The word Krishna means that which attracts (“Karshathi ithi Krishna). Krishna is described in the most beautiful form that attracts a devotee. What does Krishna say about Himself ? In Bhagavad Gita Krishna Himself says, “Aham Athma Gudakesa”, meaning I am hidden in all beings as Athma. Does he mean he is residing in your body in his beautiful blue body with yellow dress? Here, we need to understand Krishna as the Supreme Intelligence or Awareness pervading everything. That awareness has no form. The entire purpose of Bhagavad Gita as explained to Arjuna by Krishna himself, is to explain your relation and connection to that Antharaathama. He repeatedly uses the term “I” to discuss “Bodham” in the Gita, and bodham is formless. Hari Om.
