Shree Krishna with Radha
The eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, born the son of Vasudeva and Devaki, and raised by Yashoda and the cowherd Nanda. He annihilated Kamsa, the tyrant king of Mathura who reigned in terror and
planned to control the world.
His various roles include the childhood pranks as a cowherd, his love for Radha, his supernatural powers, and most important of all, his role in the Bhagvat Gita when he acted as a friend, advisor, charioteer, and teacher to his friend Arjun in the great Mahabharata war. His revelation of his Vishwaroopa to Arjuna as the Supreme being is the ultimate understanding of God.
