Who is Lord Krishna?

Lord Krishna is considered the God of love, compassion, and devotion. Hindu mythology portrays him as the Universal Supreme being, prankster, gentle lover, and a great warrior. Since he is the only incarnation of Lord Vishnu who possesses all the 16 Kalas or attributes, he is called the Purnavatar or complete incarnation.

Lord Krishna Birth

Lord Krishna was born to Vasudev and princess Devaki in the prison of Mathura. Princess Devaki was the sister of King Kansa, the wicked king of Mathura. As per legends, at the time of the marriage of Princess Devaki and Vasudev, an Akashwani forecasted that Devaki’s eighth child will kill King Kansa and bring an end to his atrocities. Lord Krishna was the eighth child of Devaki and Vasudev. Thus, to protect the newborn Krishna (Balgopal), Vasudev carried him to his cousin Nanda and Mata Yashoda in Gokul. They raised Lord Krishna and protected him from the evil intentions of King Kansa.

According to Hindu Scriptures, Lord Krishna was born during Dwapura Yuga, the third Yuga of the four cyclic Yugas. His birth time is said to be at midnight on the Krishna Paksha Ashtami Tithi in the Bhadrapada Hindu month. This day is celebrated by Hindus every year as Janmasthami or Krishanasthami or the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna.

Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta Quotes by Lord Krishna

  • “Whatever happened, happened for the good. Whatever is happening, is happening for the good. Whatever will happen, will also happen for the good.”
  • “You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work, You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.”
  • “Lust, Anger, and Greed are the three doors to hell.”
  • “When a man dwells on the pleasure of sense, the attraction for them arises in him, From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger.”
  • “The spirit is beyond destruction. No one can bring an end to the spirit which is everlasting.” 
  • “For the soul, there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, doesn’t come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.”
  • “Yada-yada hi dharmasya
    Glanir bhavati bharata
    Abhyutthanam adharmasya
    Tadatmanam srjamy aham...
    Paritranaya sadhunam
    Vinasaya ca duskritam
    Dharma-samsthapanarthaya
    Sambhavami yuge-yuge..”
