Divine Abode

Lord Sri Krishna is popularly known as the charming blue-bodied, flute-bearing God who appeared on this planet about five thousand years ago to destroy the demons and reestablish religion. His glory is widespread as the disseminator of the matchless spiritual wisdom – Srimad Bhagavad-gita.

Ishvarah paramah krishnah sac-chid-ananda-vigrahah. Anadir adir govindah sarva-karana-karanam.

Brahma-samhita 5.1

The Six Opulences of Bhagavan

Unlimited Strength

He possesses all strength to protect His devotees and annihilate the miscreants.

Unlimited Beauty

His charming form attracts all living entities, hence the name Krishna (All-Attractive).

Unlimited Wealth

He is the proprietor of all material and spiritual worlds.

Unlimited Renunciation

Though possessing everything, He is not attached to anything material.

Unlimited Fame

His glories are sung by pure devotees in all universes.

Unlimited Knowledge

He knows past, present, and future of every living being.

Who is Krishna?

01

Bhagavan - The Possessor of Opulence

The word Bhagavan means one who is complete in six opulences. A person who has any of these becomes attractive, but Krishna has them in full.

02

The Original Form

God is not formless. The two-handed, blue-colored, flute-bearing form is the original ever-existing form of God (sat-cit-ananda).

03

Source of Avatars

Whenever the Lord incarnates, He becomes visible to our eyes. Just like the Sun doesn't die at sunset, the Lord appears and disappears.
