Who is Krishna?
Krishna (कृष्ण) is the darling deity of the Hindus. Considered to be a perfect manifestation (पूर्ण अवतार) of Vishnu, he is worshipped in multifarious forms – as a young child or Balagopal, as He who loves butter or Makhanchor, as He who melodiously plays the flute, as Radha’s eternal companion, as He who is the favourite of all Gopis, as He who annihilates demons, as He who gave us the Bhagavad Gita and as He who is the King of Dwarka.
