why does lord krishna has peacock feather on his forehead?

Hare Krishna Mataji,

PAMHO !!

All gloris to Srila Prabhupada !!

There are many reasons given by our Vaishnava Acharyas however with my limited Bhakti and intellect I can state the following three reasons :

Firstly, The peacock is the only creature in nature that observes complete chastity in life. When he is happy, he dances with his wings and his eyes are filled with tears, Peahen drink these tears & conceives. Peacock does not have, even a tinge of lust in his heart.

Secondly, The main teaching of Lord Krishna is that our whole life and the whole manifested universe is His 'Maya'. He continuously tells His great disciple Arjuna to realize His presence underlying seemingly unrelated events and various living organisms populating the universe.Even though Lord Krishna also manifested inside His own 'Maya', He was never controlled or disturbed by its powers.The feathers of peacock exemplify Lord's Maya in a manner which human mind can try to grasp. The brilliant colors of peacock do not arise from the correspondingly colored pigments. Instead, they arise from the phenomenon called 'structural coloration'. The light waves entering the different thickness of keratin layers on peacock feathers get out of phase and undergo interference. The resulting light wave patterns give the beautiful play of colors which the human eyes see. The 'actual' color is just deep brown pigment which occurs in the background of these keratin layers.Thus, Lord Krishna wears a brilliant example of His own Maya in His crown and stimulates our intelligence to understand the fact that the whole universe is a diverse manifestation of one single divinity. Thus, we are also supposed to understand the nature of Maya continuously during our life so that we do not get carried away and suffer due to its influence.

Thirdly, Balram, the elder brother of Shri Krishna is said to be the manifestation of ‘Sheshnaag’ (Name of a celebrated serpent said to have thousand heads and represented as couch of Lord Vishnu) and the serpents are killed by peacocks instantly. They are gruesome enemies of snakes. Being a sibling of Shri Balarm (Sheshnaag) Shri Krishna graces the beauty of peacock-feather while wearing it on his crown, thus generating the message to accept friends and foes impartially.

The TAO, (the way) of Chi of nature and the way of alchemy.
Immortality is an aim of those that watch w/batted breath for the Strategic pose, for the chance to nurture the heart of heart's of the world we stand upon & w/room for the ego & the rest.
The dilution is that we abandoned.

It is a-late understanding even in yoga that (static)=Stoped.
The Ego's intelligence once static is the root, the ("Strategic Pose") of the Moving arts, of Tai-Chi. The Healing Arts of Chi-gong & Riki.
So the creeper the bond of Love is hedged by & hinging upon the quality of our greatful" I Strategic posses

(Static)-Beauty Attraction & attachment these are the qualitys of the peacocks feather. (I think) Krishna uses these qualitys to capture the eyes hearts and minds of all being's.Ji Haray Bolah.
