Who is Krishna?

Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is an historical person who appeared on this earth in India 5,000 years ago. He stayed on this earth for 125 years and played exactly like a human being, but His activities were unparalleled.
In these Western countries, when someone sees the cover of a book like Krsna, he immediately asks, “Who is Krishna? Who is the girl with Krishna?” etc.
The immediate answer is that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. How is that? Because He conforms in exact detail to descriptions of the Supreme Being, the Godhead. In other words, Krishna is the Godhead because He is all-attractive. Outside the principle of all-attraction, there is no meaning to the word Godhead. How is it one can be all-attractive? First of all, if one is very wealthy, if he has great riches, he becomes attractive to the people in general. Similarly, if someone is very powerful, he also becomes attractive, and if someone is very famous, he also becomes attractive, and if someone is very beautiful or wise or unattached to all kinds of possessions, he also becomes attractive. So from practical experience we can observe that one is attractive due to 1) wealth, 2) power, 3) fame, 4) beauty, 5) wisdom, and 6) renunciation. One who is in possession of all six of these opulences at the same time, who possesses them to an unlimited degree, is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These opulences of the Godhead are delineated by Parasara Muni, a great Vedic authority.
We have seen many rich persons, many powerful persons, many famous persons, many beautiful persons, many learned and scholarly persons, and persons in the renounced order of life unattached to material possessions. But we have never seen any one person who is unlimitedly and simultaneously wealthy, powerful, famous, beautiful, wise and unattached, like Krishna, in the history of humanity. Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is an historical person who appeared on this earth 5,000 years ago. He stayed on this earth for 125 years and played exactly like a human being, but His activities were unparalleled. From the very moment of His appearance to the moment of His disappearance, every one of His activities is unparalleled in the history of the world, and therefore anyone who knows what we mean by Godhead will accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is equal to the Godhead, and no one is greater than Him. That is the import of the familiar saying, “God is great.”
There are various classes of men in the world who speak of God in different ways, but according to Vedic literatures and according to the great acaryas, the authorized persons versed in the knowledge of God, in all ages, like acaryas Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Visnusvami, Lord Caitanya and all their followers by disciplic succession, all unanimously agree that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As far as we, the followers of Vedic civilization, are concerned, we accept the Vedic history of the whole universe, which consists of different planetary systems called Svargalokas, or the higher planetary system, Martyalokas, or the intermediary planetary system, and Patalalokas, or the lower planetary system. The modern historians of this earth cannot supply historical evidences of events that occurred before 5,000 years ago, and the anthropologists say that 40,000 years ago Homo sapiens had not appeared on this planet because evolution had not reached that point. But the Vedic histories, the Puranas and Mahabharata, relate human histories which extend millions and billions of years into the past.
For example, from these literatures we are given the histories of Krishna’s appearances and disappearances millions and billions of years ago. In the Fourth Chapter of the Bhagavad-gita Krishna tells Arjuna that both He and Arjuna had had many births before and that He (Krishna) could remember all of them and that Arjuna could not. This illustrates the difference between the knowledge of Krishna and that of Arjuna. Arjuna might have been a very great warrior, a well-cultured member of the Kuru dynasty, but after all, he was an ordinary human being, whereas Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the possessor of unlimited knowledge. Because He possesses unlimited knowledge, Krishna has a memory that is boundless.
Krishna’s knowledge is so perfect that He remembers all the incidents of His appearances some millions and billions of years in the past, but Arjuna’s memory and knowledge are limited by time and space, for he is an ordinary human being. In the Fourth Chapter Krishna states that He can remember instructing the lessons of the Bhagavad-gita some millions of years ago to the sun-god, Vivasvan.
Nowadays it is the fashion of the atheistic class of men to try to become God by following some mystic process. Generally the atheists claim to be God by dint of their imagination or their meditational prowess. Krishna is not that kind of God. He does not become God by manufacturing some mystic process of meditation, nor does He become God by undergoing the severe austerities of the mystic yogic exercises. Properly speaking, He never becomes God because He is the Godhead in all circumstances.
Within the prison of His maternal uncle Kamsa, where His father and mother were confined, Krishna appeared outside His mother’s body as the four-handed Visnu-Narayana. Then He turned Himself into a baby and told His father to carry Him to the house of Nanda Maharaja and his wife Yasoda. When Krishna was just a small baby the gigantic demoness Putana attempted to kill Him, but when He sucked her breast He pulled out her life. That is the difference between the real Godhead and a God manufactured in the mystic factory. Krishna had no chance to practice the mystic yoga process, yet He manifested Himself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead at every step, from infancy to childhood, from childhood to boyhood, and from boyhood to young manhood. In the book Krsna, all of His activities as a human being are described. Although Krishna plays like a human being, He always maintains His identity as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Since Krishna is all-attractive, one should know that all his desires should be focused on Krishna. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said that the individual person is the proprietor or master of the body but Krishna, who is the Supersoul present in everyone’s heart, is the supreme proprietor and supreme master of each and every individual body. As such, if we concentrate our loving propensities upon Krishna only, then immediately universal love, unity and tranquillity will be automatically realized. When one waters the root of a tree, he automatically waters the branches, twigs, leaves and flowers; when one supplies food to the stomach through the mouth, he satisfies all the various parts of the body.
The art of focusing one’s attention on the Supreme and giving one’s love to Him is called Krishna consciousness. We have inaugurated the Krishna consciousness movement so that everyone can satisfy his propensity for loving others simply by directing his love towards Krishna. The whole world is very much anxious to satisfy the dormant propensity of love for others, but the inventions of various methods like socialism, communism, altruism, humanitarianism, nationalism, and whatever else may be manufactured for the peace and prosperity of the world, are all useless and frustrating because of our gross ignorance of the art of loving Krishna. Generally people think that by advancing the cause of moral principles and religious rites, they will be happy. Others may think that happiness can be achieved by economic development, and yet others think that simply by sense gratification they will be happy. But the real fact is that people can only be happy by loving Krishna.
Krishna can perfectly reciprocate one’s loving propensities in different relationships called mellows or rasas. Basically there are twelve loving relationships. One can love Krishna as the supreme unknown, as the supreme master, the supreme friend, the supreme child, the supreme lover. These are the five basic love rasas. One can also love Krishna indirectly in seven different relationships, which are apparently different from the five primary relationships. All in all, however, if one simply reposes his dormant loving propensity in Krishna, then his life becomes successful. This is not a fiction but is a fact that can be realized by practical application. One can directly perceive the effects that love for Krishna has on his life.
In the Ninth Chapter of the Bhagavad-gita this science of Krishna consciousness is called the king of all knowledge, the king of all confidential things, and the supreme science of transcendental realization. Yet we can directly experience the results of this science of Krishna consciousness because it is very easy to practice and is very pleasurable. Whatever percentage of Krishna consciousness we can perform will become an eternal asset to our life, for it is imperishable in all circumstances. It has now been actually proved that today’s confused and frustrated younger generation in the Western countries can directly perceive the results of channeling the loving propensity toward Krishna alone.
It is said that although one executes severe austerities, penances and sacrifices in his life, if he fails to awaken his dormant love for Krishna, then all his penances are to be considered useless. On the other hand, if one has awakened his dormant love for Krishna, then what is the use in executing austerities and penances unnecessarily?
The Krishna consciousness movement is the unique gift of Lord Caitanya to the fallen souls of this age. It is a very simple method which has actually been carried out during the last four years in the Western countries, and there is no doubt that this movement can satisfy the dormant loving propensities of humanity. The book Krsna is another presentation to help the Krishna consciousness movement in the Western world. This transcendental literature is published in two parts with profuse illustrations. People love to read various kinds of fiction to spend their time and energy. Now this tendency can be directed to Krishna. The result will be the imperishable satisfaction of the soul, both individually and collectively.
It is said in the Bhagavad-gita that even a little effort expended on the path of Krishna consciousness can save one from the greatest danger. Hundreds of thousands of examples can be cited of people who have escaped the greatest dangers of life due to a slight advancement in Krishna consciousness. We therefore request everyone to take advantage of this great transcendental literature. One will find that by reading one page after another, an immense treasure of knowledge in art, science, literature, philosophy and religion will be revealed, and ultimately, by reading this one book, Krsna, love of Godhead will fructify.
My grateful acknowledgment is due to Sriman George Harrison, now chanting Hare Krishna, for his liberal contribution of $19,000 to meet the entire cost of printing Krsna Book.. May Krishna bestow upon this nice boy further advancement in Krishna consciousness.
And at last my ever-willing blessings are bestowed upon Sriman Syamasundara dasa Adhikari, Sriman Brahmananda dasa Brahmacari, Sriman Hayagriva dasa Adhikari, Sriman Satsvarupa Adhikari, Srimati Devahuti-devi, Srimati Jadurani dasi, Sriman Muralidhara dasa Brahmacari, Sriman Bharadvaja dasa Adhikari and Sriman Pradyumna dasa Adhikari, etc., for their hard labor in different ways to make this publication a great success.
Hare Krishna.

Hi,
I am a Hindu and a believer in Krishna and have read the Bhagavad Gita (although most of it went over my head!) and a Christian friend of mine asked me the following question -
“If you have time I have a quick question – someone in India told me that the Bhagavan Gita refers to a man who will sacrifice himself for the cleansing of others. This particular man then went on to decide it was Jesus. Does this Hindi holy book have a referencing system like the bible? If you happen to know the reference I would like to know and read that section. I must spend some time examining the Bhagavan…”
Can you please tell me what I should tell my friend as I cant remember of reading of such a man in the Gita.
Thankyou very much.
Kind Regards
Vijay

There are so many rascals telling us that Krishna is saying this in the Gita and Krishna is saying that. But usually what they say Krishna is saying is nothing at all like what Krishna is actually saying.
The easy way out here is to take a Bhagavad Gita to your friend and ask him to point out the chapter and verse where Krishna said that. And if he can not do that ask him to take the Bhagavad Gita home with him and get him to read the whole book to find the section about this man who will sacrifice himself for the cleansing of others, who I guess he thinks is Jesus who sacrificed himself on the cross for the sins of his followers. Of course there is nothing like this actually in the Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad Gita is not about a man, it is a conversation between Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His friend Arjuna. It took place on the battlefield of Kuruksetra 5,000 years ago just before a huge battle.
So your friend’s interpretation of the Gita is completely bogus. And there are so many people out there with bogus interpretations on the Gita. And some of them publish translations on the Gita also and confuse so many readers.
Anyhow the main thing is if somehow you can get your friend to actually read Srila Prabhuapda’s Bhagavad Gita As It Is then he will see for himself what Bhagavad Gita is actually about.
That is the greatest give we can give people. Srila Prabhuapda’s books plus if we can also somehow encourage them to actually read the books. So this is an opportunity for book distribution. We should always have Srila Prabhuapda’s books with us so when these chances come up we can introduce the people we meet to Srila Prabhuapda and Krishna.
Hello. I am a Christian and have been one my whole life, but I am also a writer and student. I have often struggled with my faith because there are so many systems of belief in the world and I wonder that everyone who believes in them as I believe in what I do could be wrong etc. I think that this exclusion of different beliefs is common to most systems of belief, but I would like to know what you think about it. I read what you wrote about Krishna and have been researching because of studies and as you wrote of the focusing of love on Krishna by individuals, I felt it bore semblance to the love and centeralizing of God/Christ by individuals in my faith. So I am just curious to find what you think or believe about someone like me. Am I wrong or damned according to your system because I don’t believe and love Krishna, though I love Christ in the same way?
As an aside, I would like to be clear; I do not always know exactly what I believe about everything because I am still learning, but I do not mark you as wrong or anything because you do not believe exactly as I do. I am just curious to know what you think and believe about it. I am always interested to know more about other people’s faith because I often find it enriching to know more then just what I was raised to believe.
Thanks
Hare Krishna Ashley
We accept that Lord Jesus Christ is the sun of God, like he says he is. And a true follower of Christ is certainly making spriitual advancement. So we are encouraging the Christians to seriouuly follow the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ.
In Krishna consciousness we are not saying that different religious systems are false and only our way is correct. No. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that whenever there is a discrepancy in the practice of the religious principles in the world He descends Himself or he sends His representative, His son, His prophet, to reestablish the religious principles.
So we see Lord Jesus Christ in this way. As an empowered incarnation of God who appeared to reestablish the true religious principles in the world when they were lost.
Time is a very powerful thing. Time will ultimately destroy everything. So pure spiritual knowledge is established at a certain point by God or His representative and after some time that pure spiritual knowledge becomes distorted and lost. So there is an on-going need for Krishna to appear within the material world to reestablish the religious principles. He is doing this time and time again throughout the ages.
When God or His representative appears in a particular country to reestablish the religious principles he will preach in the local language and give examples from the local lifestyle and in this way his preaching will be given in such a way that it is easy for the audience to understand. So, if you look at the teachings of Jesus, for example, which he gave to some fishermen, and compare them to Krishna’s extensive teachings in the Vedas in India you may superficially see some differences. But the differences are not actually differences in the subject matter, rather they are differences in presentation according to the capacity of the audience to understand.
Jesus Himself says “There are so many things I have not told you, because at the moment you could not bear these things.” And he goes on to say that the will be revealed later on. So the presentation of Jesus is a simplified version of the presentation of Krishna in the Vedas. But the subject matter is exactly the same. It is like if you had two dictionaries, a pocket dictionary and the Webster Universal Dictionary. Both are dictionaries and you can not say either one is incorrect. It is just that there are more words and more elaborate descriptions of the words in the Webster Universal Dictionary than in the Pocket Dictionary.
Actually this was one of the points that attracted me to Krishna consciousness in the beginning. I was also [and still consider myself to be] a Christian, and the devotees were not saying that “Christianity is bad, you have to convert to Krishna consciousness.” They accepted that Lord Jesus Christ was the son of God but lamented that generally speaking the so-called “Christians” of today are not following the teachings of Jesus Christ at all. This age is called “Kali Yuga” and one meaning of Kali Yuga is “The age of quarrel and hypocrisy.” So the tendency is these days everyone is hypocritical. Including the Christians. Generally they claim to be “Christian” but do not follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible.
They give so many excuses, like “We are all sinners, eternally. Jesus has died for our sins. I will keep sinning and Jesus will suffer for my sins…” This is a very perverted and completely incorrect understanding of the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ. You can read in the Bible when John the Baptist was performing his baptisms he was stressing that although they were being washed of their past sins through the process of baptism, the people had to repent and stop their sinful activities. It means nothing to get baptized and then to continue with your sinful activities just like before. Baptism is supposed to be a transforming, purifying experience. If the Christians are not being transformed and purified by Baptism then it is not working.
So the bottom line is that a true follower of Lord Jesus Christ will be transformed and will give up sinful activities.
Anyhow… The main point is we accept Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God. And if his followers would actually follow him they would make great advancement on the spiritual path…
me punjabi and still beleve to krishna
i believe in krishna also
i believe in SRI KRISHNA and i love him also he made all thing possible especially forme made my dreams possible.
I love your answer to Ashley! How nice to hear words of truth from an unexpected source. Jesus says, “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and do not do the things I say?”
I’ve never read the Bhagavad Gita, but I may have a go at it. I think I have a copy somewhere around.
I got to this page because I was told that Krishna was born of a virgin, son of a carpenter, killed by crucifiction, etc. Apparently this was stated on some tv documentary. As far as I can tell from my research so far, this is false. Do you have anything to say to this?
Hello Sonia
Krishna was not born in the ordinary way. He appeared in a full-grown form and later transformed Himself into the form of a child. So He was not born like an ordinary child. However His mother, Devaki, had previously given birth to six other sons who were all killed by the demon King Kamsa very soon after their birth. So in this way Devaki was not a virgin before Krishna was born. And Krishna’s father, Vasudeva, was more like a King than a carpenter. Krishna was not killed, He lives eternally, there was no crucifixion. So yes, all of this is false and your research is correct.
If you really want to find out about Krishna please read “Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead.” You can get this book at http://www.KrishnaStore.com and you can read it online at http://www.KrsnaBook.com

Hello,
I have recently become interested in Krishna. I am still gathering information if you will about Krishna and who he is.
I am not a member of any organized religion, I consider myself a Spiritualist. I have been to a Spiritualist Temple and felt very comforatable there.
As of now I feel as if I have been called to Krishna through some unusual circumstances.
I just have a few questions about it all.
I was just wondering you say Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhead. So in other words Krishna is God the one who created heaven and earth?
If this is so is Jesus Christ ,Krishnas son?
Sorry if my questions seem silly , I am still confused as to how I should concentrate upon Krishna.
Like I said I feel drawn to Krishna and want to start on my way to becoming a full member.
Sincerely Terry (female)
Hare Krishna Terry
Thank you for the nice questions.
Yes. Krishna is the “Supreme Personality of Godhead.” It means He is God. Like the “Father in Heaven” mentioned in the Bible who created heaven and earth. That is talking about Krishna. And Jesus is the “Son of God” so He is the son of Krishna.
The Bible is giving a simplified explanation of everything. The Vedas give a much more detailed explanation. For example in the Bible you have one or two chapters about the creation, whereas in the Vedas you can find dozens of big books that give all the fine details and scientific explanations of all the aspects of the creation.
The best thing is that you find out more by reading Srila Prabhupada’s books. You can get them from http://www.KrishnaStore.com

HI
I like krishna very much. and i belive in god..
i belongs from BRIJ AREA . in this area u see krishna in each things such as tree, stone, water, weather & u feel in ur breath. if u never feel then u come here & feel shree krishna, shree radha.then u fall in love .
I Love Lord Sri Krishna. I love saying “Hare Krishna Hare krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare … Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama rama hare hare…” I say this all time …. when i wake up from bed, before sleep, when i eat … all time … it gives me happiness …and a feeling that nothing is mine … everything belongs to god and i surrender to him ….
