Beauty is an Opulence of Krsna

One of the six opulences of Bhagavan is beauty. Srila Prabhupada referred to female beauty in a lecture in Los Angeles on February 2, 1968. He said: "If you have got beauty, you can conquer over very stalwart, very strong men. Just like what is the... Cleopatra. You have heard the history. She was very beautiful, and she conquered many great warriors. So beauty sometimes can conquer even the greatest man, but that does not mean beauty can conquer God." Also Srila Prabhupada has written in the purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 3.31.38: "When we are attracted by kladana-mohana and the beauty of Krsna and His consorts, then the shackles of conditioned life, namely the beauty of a material woman, cannot attract us."
