Krishna Statues from India, Nepal and ThailandKrishna is beloved by millions in the Hindu world. To some, this dark blue colored deity is the God of Love, while to others, Krishna is the Supreme Being - meaning he is the Godhead, the Universe, the One the All! Yet to those that are followers of Vishnu, Krishna is considered one of the Avatars - a form of a deity that descends to the world in order to help mankind in times of trouble. To read more about Krishna, please scroll down toward the bottom of this page, past all the statue photos. One of his names is Govindarajan, which is normally translated as the "Divine Herdsman." But in ancient Sanskrit, it can also be translated as "King of Light." In some Hindu sects, Krishna and the Milk Maid Radha are worshiped together as one deity. But he is also worshiped as Bala Krishna, with images of him as a small child. Why so many different aspects and forms? Because the literary tradition about the life of Krishna is so diverse. While the Mahābhārata may be the best known book in the West relating to this deity, there are numerous other texts that also tell the tale of Lord Krishna. | |||||||||||||
