yasodanandana 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2004 sri krsna and sri vishnu are surely the same person, there's no many gods, we are not polytheists.. simply there's difference in the kind of personality displayed in the lilas and in the number of qualities displayed. Krsna is considered an higher display of god's personality, in comparison with sri vishnu, because krsna shows his intimate pastimes. like a nation's president, or king: Vishnu is the king when he is in his role, job, official function of king: government, dealing with allies and enemies, some times punishing, some time angry, fighting etc... Krishna is the same king when, back home, he displays his loving intimacy with parents, relatives, friends, sons, lovers, wifes etc. So for the intimacy and for the more complete (actually the most complete) display of powers (shakti) of krsna in his lilas (he displays also vishnu qualities, but vishnu never displays the same intimacy), we consider krsna not the supreme god, there's not many god, god is one.. we consider krsna the supreme personality of godhead, or the supreme display of god's personality krsna is so sweet in his intimate pastimes that, using yoga maya, he makes his associates think that he's an ordinary son, friend, lover, father, husband to care for... when he puts on the vishnu's uniform, he's more official... but he remains our beloved sri krsna bhagavan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 25, 2004 when you go to office, you are in professional mood. while ure in home you are in jolly/enjoying mood with ur family. both of u are same only different in approach. vishnu is professional appearance of supreme god. krishna is in mode of enjoying & sharing eternal joy with his devotees. so vishnu & krsna are same, only their approach are different.
