Can someone tell me the basics of krishna?

Question

thanks

Answer 1

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The name "Krishna" means "all-attractive". God is not impersonal. God has features, pastimes, friends, and an original personal form. That form is Krishna. He wears a peacock feather in his black curly hair. His skin is the color of a rain cloud. His toenails are brighter than the full moon. He is eternally youthful. His eyes are like lotus pedals. And He is very dear to His devotees. There may be a flower that can be found in several places around the world. That flower may be called by different names in different languages, but the flower (the subject matter) remains the same. Similarly, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is Krishna "The All-Attractive". How could God be the supreme if He were not the most beautiful person. Thank you so much for your question. I am now thinking of Krishna very nicely and my heart is thinking of His side long glance and the beautiful faces of His devotees. Please find books translated by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Please accept my humble respects. Thanks for reminding me....Haribol!

Answer 2

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead as pointed out by Joseph

In these Western countries, when someone sees the cover of a book like Krsna, he immediately asks, "Who is Krsna? Who is the girl with Krsna?" etc.

The immediate answer is that Krsna 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, Krsna 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.
