Shri Krushna

Krushna was born on the eighth day (ashtami) of the Hindu lunar month of Shravan. Krushna was an absolute incarnation (purnavtar). Actually an absolute incarnation is not an incarnation but The Lord Himself; hence it possesses all the characteristics of The Lord.

Radha is the manifest form of devotion unto Krushna. Devotion of the gopis is an illustration of ultimate devotion. Radha among them was like a jewel in the crown.

Of all weapons sudarshan chakra is the only one which is constantly in motion. There are various schools of thought regarding its creation.

When the Yadavs fought amongst themselves and most died at Prabhas, Balaram renounced His body in the sea, that is He took jalasamadhi.

The Mahabharat is the most important part of Krushna's life. Written by Sage Vyas it is a prominent historical text.

Depending on the situation, at times Lord Krushna crossed the limitations of Righteousness; but in reality since He was one beyond the three components, The Supreme Being performing the divine sport (Lilapurushottam) and The Absolute Supreme Being (Purnapurushottam) He was always beyond limitations.

Krushna belonged to the Satvat clan of the Yadav dynasty. After He renounced His body this clan began worshipping Him. This was a kind of beginning of the Path of Devotion (Bhaktimarg).

The festival of Ras, as described in the Sreemadbhagawat Puran, began on the full moon night in the Sharad season and continued all night until daybreak. Sreekrushna had only one thought that the Rasleela could bring about spiritual progress of the gopees.
