Publisher's Synopsis
Krishna appeared in this world with the publication of Mahabharata. Until Mahabharata there was no Krishna. Mahabharata presented Krishna as an incarnation of god Vishnu. Until Mahabharata, Vishnu was one of thirty three gods. Mahabharata declared Vishnu to be Supreme God and Krishna to be an avatar of Vishnu. An avatar is not the same as original. Mahabharata describe 17 avatars of Vishnu. Many avatars of Vishnu existed simultaneously and they even argued and fought with each other. Krishna and Narada and Vyasa were all avatars of Vishnu. So, it is clear that an avatar is not the same as the original. Avatar is a symbol of the original. For example, a fish and a tortoise and a midget were avatars of Vishnu. So, while Krishna is an avatar of the supreme god Vishnu, Krishna is not Supreme God. Supreme god does not die, but Krishna died. To understand the nature of Krishna, one has to understand Mahabharata. This current book is an attempt to determine why Krishna is worshipped as the Supreme God. This book is the result of over 50 years of study and search for truth. This book is an essential reading for anyone interested in search of the truth.
