Worship of Lord Krishna, either in the form of Vasudeva, Gopala, or Bala Krishna, can be traced to as early as the fourth century BC. Krishna never appears to grow old or age at all in the historical illustrations of the Puranas despite the passing of a few decades, but there are grounds for a debate whether this reveals that he has no material body, since battles and other descriptions of the Mahabharata epic show precise indications that He seems to be subject to the limitations of nature.

The main sacred scriptures discussing Krishna’s story are the Harivamsa, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, and the Vishnu Purana.

They portray him in many perspectives: a model lover, a God-child, a divine hero, a prankster, and the supreme being. The stories of Lord Krishna appear across a large spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. Lord Krishna is commonly portrayed and described as an infant or young boy playing the flute as in the Bhagavata Purana, or as a youthful prince giving guidance and direction as in the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna’s birthday is celebrated 8 days after Raksha Bandhan in the month of Sravana, and celebrations are spread over 2 days.Īccording to the Bhagavata Purana, which is a sattvic purana, Lord Krishna is termed as Svayam Bhagavan since he was the full incarnation of the supreme god Vishnu. The name Krishna appears as the 57th and 550th name of Lord Vishnu in Vishnu Sahasranama of the Mahabharata and is also listed in the 24 Keshava Namas of Lord Vishnu, which is recited and praised at the beginning of all Vedic pujas.Ī puja is a prayer ritual offered in Hinduism, to honor and worship one or more deities Lord Krishna is the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism and is considered to be a warrior, hero, philosopher, and teacher by Hindus.
