Krishna, a central figure in Hindu mythology and philosophy, is widely revered as an avatar of the god Vishnu. His story is recounted in the epic Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita, where he plays a pivotal role as a teacher, warrior, and divine guide.
Born in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudeva, Krishna faced persecution from his uncle Kamsa, who feared a prophecy that foretold his downfall at Krishna’s hands. Krishna was raised in Vrindavan by foster parents, where he performed numerous childhood feats, endearing himself to devotees with his mischievous antics and divine powers.
As a young prince in Dwarka, Krishna led a heroic life, playing a crucial role in the great Mahabharata war. He served as the charioteer and advisor to Prince Arjuna, delivering the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, which expounds on duty, righteousness, and the path to spiritual enlightenment.
Krishna embodies the ideals of dharma (righteousness) and bhakti (devotion), with his life illustrating the principle of divine intervention to restore balance and justice in the world. He is celebrated through festivals like Janmashtami, marking his birth, and his divine playfulness and wisdom continue to inspire millions around the world.
