For Halloween I decided to dress up my five year old nephew as Lord Krishna. This was his choice. He loves Krishna - especially as baby Krishna or Kanna. In fact we often listen to songs about Kanna. And flip through beautiful paintings of Lord Krishna that I got him from India. Based on the pictures I was able to dress him up using alot of my dance jewelry, my dad's dhoti and my mom's necklace. He loved divine. Just like Kanna coming to life. Children have the spark of divinity in them. I felt blessed to be able to use my artistry and my dance/temple jewelry to adorn him. The energy that he gets by wearing all the ornaments handed down from his grandparents and his aunty (me) is incredibly powerful. I hope that he carries this energy with him throughout his life. Whether or not he is in costume.
