Question

Some idiot wanted to debate about God over personal emails. Did ya'll see that question here? Anyway, he says God is Krishna wanna debate it. And I told him something about getting struck by lightening and who the hell is Krishna. So I find it only fair to find out for myself before debating who I think God is. God IS.

Answer 1

A Hindu god. He is seen as the Supreme Person and the highest God. Thus, according to traditions such as Gaudiya Vaishnavism, he is the origin of all other incarnations.

Interestingly, the story of Krishna is in many ways identical to the story of Jesus Christ. For more information, please visit the second linked source.

Answer 3

Krishna is deemed to be in coronation of god in Dwapara yuga as per Hindu mythology.
Hinduism believes that god takes the form of humans or any form of living being to safe guard the world and humanity at the time of perils created by evils or evil persons.
so Lord Sri Krishna as in coronation of god around 3000 years back came to the world like us.this is the epic period of Maha Bharatha.
during the war. Arjuna, the warier in the war field forgotten his role of fighting against evils due to ignorance. here Lord Krishna
preached Arjuna about the way of life and role play and provoked to fight against evils for the welfare of society and world. even after thousands of years, these are followed by all great people in the world. this is called as Bhagavad Gita, one of the best for self development and world as a whole.
so Krishna is not hell. Krishna showed the way to heaven in the world.

Answer 4

Krishna is from Hinduism. In most Vaishnava traditions of Hinduism Krishna is an incarnation of God who came to Earth to help restore the balance of justice (this is told in the Mahabharata). He is the main speaker in the Bhagavad Gita. In the ISKCON tradition of Hinduism Krishna is not just an incarnation of God (like Jesus), but is, in fact, God himself. To make this a bit more clear: Most Vaishnavas call God Vishnu and believe that God has incarnated many times into the world...Krishna being one of the incarnations. ISKCON holds that God is called Krishna and that God has incarnated many times into the world, but eventually came as Krishna in his purest form that he could take and yet still also take a human form. Most Hindus would say that any name you give to God is still God: "There is only one God, but humanity calls It by many names." Rig Veda 1:164.46. ISKCON teaches that there is indeed one God and that humanity calls it by many different names, but that the highest name is Krishna (thus anyone who worships God by a "lower" name will only go to the heavenly realm of said "God" for a temporary time and then will reincarnate again until they finally worship the "higher" name). ISKCON is a bit different than many other Hindu sects in this regard (unless you consider the Ayyavazhi to be a Hindu sect...then this is somewhat similar).

Here is a good website about Hinduism:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion

If you type in "Heart of Hinduism" in Yahoo Search it'll take you to a website about Hinduism that is done by ISKCON.

If you go to http://www.himalayanacademy.org you can compare some of the beliefs stated (the site is primarily run by a Saivite Hindu organization, but is extremely inclusive so as to include Vaishnava, Saivite, Smarta, and Shakta views...although ISKCON views are usually NOT mentioned in general due to the fact that the Himalayan Academy publishes the international magazine "Hinduism Today" which is for all Hindus but ISKCON members do not regularly contribute and have their own publications)

Answer 5

Krishna (कृष्ण in Devanagari, kṛṣṇa in IAST ), according to various Hindu traditions, is the eighth avatar of Vishnu. In the Bhagavad Gita (e.g., 10.15 and 15.19), he is seen as the Supreme Person and the highest God. Thus, according to traditions such as Gaudiya Vaishnavism, he is the origin of all other incarnations.

Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across the spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. Though they sometimes differ in details reflecting the concerns of a particular tradition, some core features are shared by all. These include a divine incarnation, a pastoral childhood and youth, and life as a heroic warrior and teacher. The immense popularity of Krishna in India also meant that various non-Hindu religions that originated in India had their own versions of him.
