shuvo 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2006 Is Krishna and Vishnu same? As in Bhagwad Puran in chapter 10: Pleased by the pure devotion of Parikshit for God, Shukdev Says, "When the atrocities of evil demons increased on earth beyond a certain limit, the perplexed earth reached to Brahma in the guise of a cow, and vented her sorrows. Brahma took her and Lord Shiva to Lord Vishnu and prayed Him through Purushsukta. Lord heard their prayers and said, "I know about the sufferings of poor earth. Very soon, I'll take incarnation in Yaduvansh to elevate her burden. All the gods, should take birth in Yadukul to assist me during my human incarnation. And to serve my beloved Radha, all the elves should appear as the womenfolk of Yudu community." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bhava 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2006 Is Krishna and Vishnu same? Vishnu is an expansion of Krsna. Krsna is the origin. He says, “Mattah parataram nanyat” (I am not an expansion of anyone. (Bg. 7.7)) We can say that Vishnu is Krsna, working; creating the universes, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
