Was Krishna very beautiful?

But no one is acknowledged universally as being handsome, except Lord Krishna. He is described as Bhuvana Sundara, the most handsome One in the whole universe, said Adur Asuri Madhavachari in a discourse.

There are some who are acknowledged as good looking by many. Others are acknowledged as good looking by a few. But no one is acknowledged universally as being handsome, except Lord Krishna. He is described as Bhuvana Sundara, the most handsome One in the whole universe, said Adur Asuri Madhavachari in a discourse. In Gokula, Krishna would graze the cows during the day, but when he returned in the evening, even though His face would be covered with dust, His beauty would in no way be diminished. When sending Him out with the cows, Yasoda would plait His hair in many different ways, each day a different style. But the plaits would loosen up in the course of the day; when Krishna returned with the cows in the evening, His dust-covered face would be framed by His lovely curls, still looking like a lotus that attracted bees. When Krishna disappeared from amidst the dancing Gopikas to show them that He disliked their pride, the Gopikas recalled His beauty and wondered why He had hidden such a lovely face from them. When the Gopikas were finally reunited with Krishna, they were like someone who had been given up for dead, but had been resuscitated. When Krishna, who had temporarily disappeared, returned, they were overjoyed at seeing Him again. Krishna kept each happy with His darting looks of love and His words, so that each was happy thinking that she was special to the Lord. The demon king Banasura had a daughter called Usha. In a dream one night, she saw a very handsome man and decided that she would marry no one else. She confided in her friend Chitralekha, an artist, who could paint lifelike portraits. As Usha described his features, Chitralekha sketched a portrait of the man. When Chitralekha completed the portrait, Usha confirmed that that was what the man had looked like. The handsome man turned out to be Krishna's grandson Aniruddha. This, perhaps, explained his good looks. After all, with a grandfather who was described as the most handsome One in the whole of the Universe, it was not surprising that the grandson should be good looking too!

Is Krishna vegetarian?

'Rama, Krishna & Valmiki were non-vegetarians' - The Hindu.

October 16, 2016 12:00 am | Updated December 01, 2016 06:17 pm IST - MANGALURU: Seeking a larger debate on the food habits of mythological personalities and ancestors, Udupi district in-charge Minister Pramod Madhwaraj said on Saturday that Valmiki, Rama and Krishna were non-vegetarians. Speaking after inaugurating the Maharshi Valmiki Jayanti celebrations, Mr. Madhwaraj said caste had not been a bar for those scaling new heights.

Food habits

He said he was consciously making the statement in the light of the ongoing debate on food habits across the country. The Minister sought a debate that would include the food habits of mythological personalities. The Minister said Valmiki, hailing from the lowest stratum of the caste system, wrote the Ramayana . Excellence was not restricted to a particular class, caste or community. Valmiki’s achievements had come a long way in eradicating the caste system, he said. Mr. Madhwaraj said Maharshi Veda Vyasa, son of fisher woman Satyavati, had penned the Mahabharata . In the present times, the mother and son would have been socially boycotted, he noted. All such issues needed to be debated, he stressed. The Minister wondered how certain castes and communities could claim exclusive rights over the worship of Gods.
