What are the Different Names of Lord Krishna? | Know From Expert

Sri Krishna serves as the Bhagavad Gita’s major character in Hinduism. Many people believe Sri Krishna to be an Avatar—a direct descendant of God. Sri Krishan is said to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Krishna is one of the numerous names of the divine being.

In about 3,228 BCE, Sri Krishna was born in northern India. According to the Puranas, Sri Krishna’s life signifies the transition from the Dvapara to the Kali Yuga (current age)

One of the most venerated and well-liked of all Indian deities, Krishna  is regarded both as the eighth avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu and as a supreme being in his own right. Numerous bhakti (devotional) cults that centred their worship on Krishna over the years have resulted in a vast body of religious literature, music, and art. The epic Mahabharata and its fifth-century CE addendum, the Harivamsha, and the Puranas, notably Books X and XI of the Bhagavata-purana, are the primary sources of Krishna’s legend. They describe how Krishna, who is described as being “black” or “dark as a cloud,” was born into the Yadava clan as the son of Vasudeva and Devaki, who was Kamsa’s evil Mathuran sister.
