Somatotype of Krishna

Muscular bodies are in the mode of passion. Spiritual bodies are not. The mundane conception of beauty is simply passionate. Try again. Less muscle. No, not fat. God is not fat. Nor lean. Lean men look like wolves, hungry wolves hunting for sex. Neither muscular, nor lean, nor fat. What, then, is God’s somatotype? Perfect beauty. Beauty complete and full. When we see Krishna, we will want nothing to do with the so-called beauty of the material world. Krishna’s beauty is attracting everything in the creation—great demigods, men, women, even plants and animals. That beauty is unlimited. What we call beauty here is but a perverted reflection.-Srila Prabhupada instructs Jadurani bramhacharini while she was painting a picture of Krishna.(Extracted from the book  THE HARE KRISHNA EXPLOSION  by His Grace Hayagriva Das.
