>a similar sort of love one can feel for another divine entity
Personally, I would say yes - bhakti can be toward other persons and can give similar feelings.
As a representative as my tradition, no. There is no comparison to the love one can feel toward another limited soul - no matter how great the other soul or how selfless your love - and the love between you and the Supreme Soul.
>And how does one feel this ecstatic love?
Do you mean by what process can one return to this? Or do you mean in what ways does this feeling manifest?
Either way I would suggest looking into Rupa Goswami's Nectar of Devotion. He really tries to break it down into a science and practical method, describing the various stages and giving citations from sastra for 'precedence' of the activities, moods, and conclusions.

A couple of reasons.
>As previously mentioned, His complexion is specifically mentioned as 'like a monsoon raincloud'
>Krishna began being represented as more bluish to reinforce the connection with His form of Vishnu, who is blue like the sky
>As devotion toward Krishna moved into more Western (i.e. more white) populations, His image became more whitewashed.

But I agree with you a bit, and woud rather artists represent Him with a darker complexion, and prefer pics that do.
Ultimately Krishna looks like everything, nothing, and anything He wants.
But to me, it again comes down to a dichotomy between
>this is what scripture describes and I shall faithfully visualize it
>this is what I am given when I peer inward at God in my heart, this is MY image of the Supreme Person, of the All-Attractive
And reminder, while Krishna means blackish, it ALSO means 'the all-attractive'.

So you genuinely think Krishna personally is a higher form of the Divine than other Gods, even as they are also forms of Krishna?
No offense intended, reading about bhakti and raja yoga and trying to model my ideas of them with Godforms

Specifically, if you are the same anon that asked about Christ, I believe Lord Jesus to be a saktyavesh avatar.
I believe he is a jiva soul - like you or I. Well not like you or I because he was a pure devotee and was never once deluded by Maya, but like you or I in that we are not Infinite.
HOWEVER, Lord Jesus is specifically empowered with the omnipotence of the Supreme Person. As such, more than even other pure devotees, He is non-different from the Supreme Lord.
He is empowered specifically for his mission of sacrifice, as Veda Vyasadeva is for the mission of compiling the Vedas, or as Lord Brahma is for the purpose of creating within a universe.
I think any person who sincerely accepts Lord Jesus as guru, as pure representative of The Father and as non-different from The Father is performing bhakti yoga, and will eventually return to Godhead in an eternal relationship with God in that form, on some JHVH-loka Vaikuntha planet.
