Ananda Swaroopa

When Krishna descends to earth as Ananda.

Ananda is sought after by every soul. Krishna is Ananda personified. He sits on Kurma, the tortoise. The tortoise signifies the withdrawal of the senses - to focus within. He is Ananda Swaroopa - the formless with a form. He descends as Krishna to teach souls (the Cow) to live in an eternally turbulent and paradoxical world.
