I am not able to understand what is so great about krishna, I go to all temples and I dont have any preference
There are so many Gods, like Rama, Ganesh, Siva, etc and each one has their own family God (ie who worship a particular god right from the begining of their family origin), that being the case why there is so much Emphasis on Krishan alone. is it because of Gita or something else,some one please clarify...
To answer your question in very simple terms govindarajaa, the reason Krishna is so great and there is much emphasis on his devotional service is because He is the supreme personality of Godhead!
There's no difference between Rama and Krishna.
Yes families tend to have particular deities that they worship due to tradition, namely Shiva, Parvati, Hanuman - but one should consider that without the sanction of Lord Krishna such service to demigods is not possible as stated in text 21, Chapter 7 of Bhagavad-Gita as it is.
Krishna says: "I am in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship some demigod, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity"
Krishna also explains why demigod worship isn't the best either...
You should read the Srimad-Bhagavatam for more information or the Bhagavad-Gita. Swami Prabhupada's translation is excellent.
