The Harbinger

My artist's
impression of Lord Krishna is quite different from the traditional perceptions
of Him. I have highlighted His androgynous features by trying to shape His
facial features in an imitation of the angels in paintings made during the
renaissance era .
A small change of
state in some point of space-time, akin to the beating of a butterfly's wings
creates a much magnified change in a different point of space time, like a
typhoon on the other side of the world. This is as stated in the Chaos Theory.
I have drawn the Lord Krishna with butterfly-esque wings both as a metaphoric
comparison to an angel and to depict that small changes or actions taken by Him
have a large domino-like effect on the lives of others around him. His
foresight and His planning are evident in the way He pre-determines the course
of the war and nudges things along in such a way that the events of the war
take place just as He has planned.
Krishna is the
ultimate observer, removed and elevated from the plane of reality. He is the
only incarnate considered to be "Purna avatar" or full incarnate,
denoting that he is closest to the pure form of the Lord in the avatar cycle.
