Vaishnava tradition
Krishna
Govinda · Gopala · Vasudeva · Banke Bihari
Krishna is the eighth avatar of Vishnu and, for many, the complete descent of the divine. He is the playful cowherd of Vrindavan, the beloved of the gopis, and the charioteer who reveals the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the field of Kurukshetra. His life weaves together joy, love, and the deepest teaching on duty and surrender.
