I looked at christianity and decided NO ( I will not get involved with an extremist religion that preaches hate and a god that enjoys frying people in a lake of fire. It also teaches slavery and sexual abuse. This is all int he evil bible. Personally it is a denmonic religion if you ask me. too PAGAN for me
Islam: Not as bad as christianity but way to extreme. At least they dont beleive that god had a son lol ...
Krishna: Well I like the peace and tranquility it promotes. It preaches love and tolerance unlike the bible that recommends that you stone people, murder people in crusades.
Jews Torah: NEED I SAY MORE? Baby killing and mass genocide in lebenon. I think they are worse than christians and muslims combined. Targeting women and children for death.
I pray to Lord Krishna that he absolves this world and invites them into his pure heart.

being a hindu i respect all d religions. bcoz this is wat hinduism teaches. n no hindu will ever compel u 2 worship lord krishna bcoz according 2 hinduism god is one n it is upto u 2 decide which path 2 follow.
i m extremely thnkful 2 u 4 showing an urge 2 worship lord krishna. there is a little difference in ideaology of hinduism vs other religions. hinduism believes in "everything is GOD" while other religions believe in "everything is GOD's". a popular myth is that hindus believe in many gods. but this is not true. read it and decide...............................The Vedic scriptures clearly state that there is only one God, Lord Krishna, also known as Lord Vishnu.
The Bhagavad-Gita is the main scripture of Hinduism. In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna clearly states that he is the only God and only he should be worshipped.
Here are some verses from the Bhagavad-Gita:
“Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both its and origin and dissolution. O conqueror of wealth [Arjuna], there is no truth superior to me. Everything rests upon me, as the pearls are strung on a thread” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.6-7)
“It should be understood that all species of life, o son of kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed giving father.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 14.4)
“The whole cosmic order is under me. By my will it is manifested again and again, and by my will it is annihilated at the end.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.8)
“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in my devotional service and worship me with all their hearts.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8)
“Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being, moving or unmoving, that can exist without me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.39)
Do you see many Gods above or just one?

You speak of the Christinaity in the Bible yet only refer to the Old Testament. Please point out ONE just ONE statement in the NEW Testament made by Christ or the apostles that calls for hatred and violence by people of the Faith..I'm certain you will not be able to. You can believe in whatever you want, but please make sure you have the facts straight. And oh, by the way, the Crusaders and all past sins committed in the "name of Christianity" have been condemned by the church and the Pope has publicly appologized several time for such crimes. Again please make sure you have the facts straight.

The Bhagawad Gita narrates the lengthy dialogue between Lord Krishna, the charioteer and Arjuna, the commander of one of the forces in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It could rightly be asked how, in the midst of a destructive war, this could ever happen without these forces, bereft of arms and forsaking combat, becoming sitting targets and thus being annihilated by the enemy.
The actual explanation, the esoteric meaning and the allegorical references actually represent the constant battle going on every moment in the mind of every human being, the jivatma — the conflicts within and confusion as to what is right and wrong .
He is like the commander sitting in a chariot, pulled by wild, yet basically capable and powerful horses, representing the conflicting aspects of his own personality.
The commander in the chariot, the jivatma, thus requires the skill of an able charioteer (paramatma), representative of the evolved self within us all. This able charioteer would direct the wild horses dexterously with the reins, which in this allegorical representation, stand for wisdom and other virtues of head and heart.
When the jivatma gives himself over to and is guided by this evolved self (paramatma) within himself, this chariot of life moves forward in its chosen path, with all aspects of his personality (representing the different horses), complementing one another. When the paramatma within (the charioteer) is rendered powerless or ineffective, the wild horses would pull in different directions — representative of conflicts and problems to the jivatma.
The entire discourse of the Gita was directed not only to Arjuna directly, but also through Sanjaya to Duryodana’s father, Dritharashtra, who in spite of such divine promptings, stuck to his path of self-destruction — illustrative of the fact that while some choose to heed to well-meant words, others disdainfully pursue their own crooked ways.
Resolution of conflicts and thus emerging into meaningful action, is the message of Bhagawad Gita. He, who attains this state is referred to as Sthira dhee (steady minded) — 2,56; Kutastah (as stable as a rock) — 6,8; and as Stitaprajna (stable of mind) — 2,55. Gita also warns against being feeble and faint in heart (2,3), akin to the reference in the Bible (James – 1,8) to a “double minded man who is unstable in all his ways”.

Too pagan, eh ? I don't know much about Lord Krishna, but does he preach that it's okay to knock someone else's belief systems? They mght not be right for you, and I applaud you for holding out for what you believe in, but give everyone else the same respect that you would wish.

It seems obvious that you have not read the whole Bible or understand it. You skipped ofer the parts that say "love thy neighbour" and even "love your enemy". You have opted to serve a god that fits into your opinions rather than conforming to the rules of the christian God.
The idea of peace and tranquility in this world is only a dream, so wake up to the real world.

Scriptures are purely "danta kadha" (tell memories). it is common sense from the note itself that "atma" and "paramatma" aren't any further one. The note "param" ability superb. Paramatma (superb Soul) is the daddy of all souls. it is why paramatma is in the different case called "Param Pita" (superb Father). Worship of Krishna and Rama are the area of "Bhakti Marg" (direction of Devotion). In Gyan Marg (direction of expertise) there is not any worship yet 'purely being and growing". Like Atma (soul) is a aspect of ability, the superb Soul is likewise a aspect of ability yet with superb characteristics. considering He does no longer have a body he's termed "Nirakari" (incorporeal)
