Krishna
is the king of Mathura and Dwarka is the eighth avatar of Vishnu
and one of his most popular and worshipped incarnations. Like
Rama, he was a warrior and king who ruled in the Gangetic plain
and over the centuries he became deified as an avatar. The epic
Mahabharata, in which Krishna plays a pivotal role, mentions Rama
and so it can be presumed that Rama had lived before Krishna.
Like Rama, his legend begins with a victory in a war, though Krishna's
role as a warrior is more complex as it is combined with those
of a philosopher and statesman. And like Rama, his myth spans
his complete life from birth to death.
Krishna, the 'dark one', is by far the most complex, intricately
imagined and surprisingly human of the Vishnu avatars. His cult,
the sect of the Vaishnavas, worship him not just as a man but
also as a child, the handsome lover, the benevolent king, the
invincible warrior, and family the philosopher. Then through his
words spoken in the Bhagvad Gita, Hindus gained a set of religious
and ethical teachings that have guided their spiritual and temporal
lives for centuries. Amazingly, it is relevant even today as the
simple and practical words of Gita have the suppleness of thought
that continues to provide a way to face the dilemmas of modern
life.

Lord Krishna is the eighth incarnation of Lord
Vishnu. He was born in approximately 3200 BC in Mathura. He commands
love, respect, and adoration from all Hindus of all walks of life.
Radha symbolizes the individual soul that is awakened to the love
of God and is absorbed in such love. The sound of Krishna's flute
represents the call of the divine for the individual souls. The
gopis' love for Krishna signifies the eternal bond between the
individual soul and God. The dance of the gopis and Krishna (Rasa
Lila) signifies the union of the human and Divine, the dance of
the souls. 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 Krishna's
highest devotion. This beautiful dance would occur in the autumn
season at night under a full moon when Lord Krsna would captivate
the young gopis with the extraordinary music of His flute . These
esoteric pastimes constitute the most confidential expression
of divinity ever revealed.
