if i imagine krishna in jeans and t shirt
why not this costume is included in deity worshiping(i never saw krishna in such dress in any of the temple why??)
i don't know this thing is good or bad
please comment
Thank you Pushpendra for your question it has invoked much thought. Jeans would be considered mundane and does not honor the Lord appropriately. You have brought it to the attention of other devotees. In this manner your offense is being corrected. The public way that you have inquired is a very traditional and scriptural way of correcting one’s offense. Krishna is very merciful.
The reality of Vaisnava/Hare Krishna attire as it is accepted is that it is different than western/karmi clothes. Even those that have a need to wear western/karmi clothes realize the importance of wearing certain traditional attire in the community and temple while assuming certain positions and attending certain festivities. In reality we are all supposed to adopt and accept the wearing of vedic attire. Returning back to the Godhead isn't about what is convenient. It is about doing as the Parampara instructs based upon the Vedanta scriptures. When one endorses something different, one then diverges from the course of Vaisnava/Parampara and then becomes something different. We are to dress a certain way that reminds us of Lord Krishna. It is sure that the deities should be dressed in certain attire if we are recommended to dress a certain way. The Parampara and Vedanta written works have identified the way that deities should be seen and dressed. In this way we expediently return to the Supreme Personality of the Godhead and honor the Lord appropriately.
Study the deities and Krishna conscious art in their proper dress while in Japa meditation. This might help you to see better. It has sure helped many of us.
Krishna is for you what Krishna is for you - if you wish to see him in jeans and t-shirt, then see him in a jeans and t-shirt! Does anyone have a right to tell you how you can dress Krishna?
If you are most comfortable with Krishna in modern clothing, then see him as such - at least you see Krishna, yes? Isn't that what matters most?
the relative sense of sight can not describe the absolute!
Dress is temporal, taste for dress is a corporeal sentiment in this world.
But there is something to be said for conduct and actions in this world, which are not insignificant, they are just relative.
in past there is no jeans only traditional dresses...now a day we have so many choice...but what is eternal we can not disrespect this...
you might b habituate 2 c ur mom in traditional dresses..she looks beautiful on this dresses..one day she wear jeans i hope u never ever like this change at that moment....
you want to wear jeans u can. krishna plays his activity in traditional dresses..and he looks beautiful on this dress.i donot disrespect your idea. but plz obey the eternal truth that krishna looks beautiful in traditonal dress.
This is really childish and foolish to even think of the modern idiocies about Lord!!Why do not we think to dress up like HIM in these days??With more simplicity and easyness???
This is perhaps some useless topic taken up for passing time!
it is better to think of Krishna how He is described by the acharyas. Still such a vision is much better than thinking of Prabhu Deva Sundaram in jeans and a tshirt.
Mundane dress need not apply \o/

Krishna and His devotees,
Therefore we learn how to worship Krishna from His instructions, not our imagination.
