Lord Krishna and Arjuna

THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD
LORD Sri Krsna

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

तुम्हारा अधिकार केवल कर्म करने में है, उसके फलों में नहीं।

You have the right to perform your duties, but not to the fruits of your actions.

Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita offers profound teachings on Dharma (righteous duty), Karma (action without attachment), and Bhakti (devotional service). Krishna's wisdom guides us through three spiritual paths: Karma Yoga (selfless action), Jnana Yoga (knowledge), and Bhakti Yoga (devotion), helping one achieve self-realization and liberation.

Krishna Leelas

Krishna's divine stories reveal his playful yet profound nature. From lifting the Govardhan Hill to protect villagers, to performing the enchanting Rasa Leela with the gopis, his miraculous acts showcase divine love, protection, and spiritual wisdom. Each leela (divine play) offers valuable lessons about devotion, compassion, and the mysterious nature of divinity.

Quotes & Wisdom

Krishna's timeless wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita continues to guide humanity through life's challenges. His teachings on detachment, duty, and devotion provide practical spiritual guidance. "Whenever dharma declines and adharma prevails, I manifest myself," assures Krishna, promising divine intervention to restore cosmic balance and protect the virtuous.

Childhood in Vrindavan

Krishna's childhood in Vrindavan epitomizes divine playfulness. As a child, he performed miracles while engaging in innocent pranks – stealing butter, defeating demons, and enchanting all with his flute. In Vrindavan, Krishna spent his days herding cows with friends and creating countless memories. His childhood demonstrates how divinity can manifest through joy and playfulness.

Role in Mahabharata

In the Mahabharata, Krishna serves as Arjuna's charioteer, counselor, and divine guide. His strategic wisdom helps the Pandavas navigate war while upholding righteousness. Krishna's diplomatic efforts to prevent war reveal his commitment to peace, though he ultimately supports dharma's victory. The Bhagavad Gita, delivered on the battlefield, represents his supreme spiritual guidance to humanity.

Krishna in Art

Krishna has inspired countless artistic expressions across centuries. In paintings, he's often depicted with blue skin, playing the flute, or dancing with Radha. Sculptures capture his various forms – from the butter-stealing child to the divine charioteer. Each artwork celebrates his divine attributes and leelas through vibrant colors, graceful forms, and symbolic imagery that transcends time.
