Who is Lord Krishna ...

Lord Krishna is GOD, THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD as described in the VEDAS. VEDAS are the eternal truths and lessons of life that have been passed down thro time immemorial thro disciplic succession and is originally written in Sanskrit, the Vedic language. 

In Sanskrit, the word Krishna means “all-attractive”, Lord Krishna is the most beautiful, powerful, and HE is the unlimited source of all power, wealth, fame,  wisdom and renunciation Since HE possesses all these opulences at the same time and in full, HE is defined as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.  HE is the all-attractive personality and source of all pleasure for which we are always hankering. HE is the origin from which everything else manifests.

Outside India, many have never heard of Lord Krishna....  They may have heard Rama, Maha Vishnu, Narayana... Krishna is one of the many names of GOD. Lord Krishna is also the GOD OF LOVE and by HIS simple action, advocates LOVE to all human beings,  be it an innocent cow or a simple and humble cowherd boy or an old man suffering from diseases and old age. 

Lord Krishna is usually depicted as playing the flute (murali),  spreading melody of love to one and all. HE is also seen in many pictures playing with HIS favorite pets COWS,  eating HIS favorite food BUTTER, Most popular are the pictures with HIS loving and devoted mom Yashoda. BTW, , another trade mark of identifying Lord Krishna is he is BLUISH is color and always wears a peacock feather on his head.

As a little boy, Lord Krishna was considered a precious gem by one and all in Gokula. HE was a very mischievous kid and was extremely popular amongst all boys and gals fondly known as Gopals and Gopikas. Even the animals the innocent cows would stop grazing and pay full attention to Lord Krishna when HE played his flute melodiously.  HE used to steal yogurt and butter from the houses of gopikas and run away. Even though HE was a child, he performed several miracles. HIS exploits are now the immortal legends of Brajvan aka Vrindavan, a city very close to Agra. 

HE killed a number of demons from Putana to Kamsa HIS maternal uncle. Lord Krishna enjoyed the dance of love (Rasa Lila) with the gopis many of whom are expansions of HIS own internal energies. The supreme gopi known as Srimati Radharani is the object of Lord Krishna's highest devotion. 

HE is the most merciful Lord and with HIS benevolent smile pleased  and helped his devotees starting from Sudama HIS great childhood friend and Draupadi Princess just to name couple of them.

Hear this 
 Melodious, thought provoking and heavenly bhajan, starting with different names of Lord Krishna ...
