Lord Krishna ( Kanahaiya) is the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu
in Hinduism. The name Shri Krishna appears as the 57th and 550th name of Lord
Vishnu in Vishnu Sahasranama of the Mahabharata, and is also listed in the
24 Keshava Namas of Lord Vishnu which are recited and praised at the beginning
of all Vedic poojas. According to the Bhagavata Purana, which is a sattvic
purana, Shri Madhav (Krishna) is termed as Svayam Bhagavan since he was the purna-avatara
or full incarnation of the Supreme God Vishnu.
Nandlal (Krishna) is often described and portrayed as an infant or
young boy playing a flute as in the Bhagavata Purana,or as a youthful prince
giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad Gita. The stories of Achala
(Krishna) appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological
traditions.They portray him in various perspectives: a God-child, a prankster, a
model lover, a divine hero and the supreme being. The principal scriptures
discussing Madhusudana's (Krishna) story are the Mahabharata, the Harivamsa,
the Bhagavata Purana, and the Vishnu Purana.
