LORD KRISHNA-

He appears prominently in the Mahabharata, where his character is invested with a certain degree of mysticism. Additions and interpolations have raised him to divinity, and it is in the song, Bhagavad-gita, a production of comparatively late date, now held to be part of the great epic. In this work he distinctly declares himself to be the Supreme Being. He says: -- "All this universe has been created by me; all things exist in me;" and Arjuna addresses him as "the supreme universal spirit, the supreme dwelling, the eternal person, divine, prior to the gods, unborn, omnipresent."

The divine character of Krishna having thus been established, it was still further developed in the Harivansa, a later addition to the Mahabharata; and in the Puranas, especially in the Bhagavata Purana, it attained full expansion. There the story of the life of Krishna, from his earliest days, is related with minute details, and it is upon this portion of his life that the popular mind delights to dwell. The mischievous pranks of the child, the follies of the boy, and the amours of the youth, are the subject of boundless wonder and delight. All these stories, as told in the Bhagavata Purana, have been made accessible and popular by the Hindi translation known by the name Prem Sagar, 'ocean of love,' and by other versions. Much of the story of the early days of Krishna is thus of comparatively modern invention, while the incidents of his relations with the Pandava princes are among the most ancient.

The history of Krishna's birth, as given in the Mahabharata and followed by the Vishnu Purana, is that Vishnu plucked out two of his own hairs, one white, the other black. These two hairs entered the wombs of Rohini and Devaki; the white hair became Balarama and the black (krishna) hair (kesa) became Krishna or Kesava. His reputed father, Vasudeva, was brother of Kunti, the wife of Pandu, and so Krishna was cousin of the three elder Pandava princes.

Krishna's Character as best can be explained elobarately but this space is not sufficiant.. -

All the characters in mahabharata are best. But I consider Duryodhan was the best character. without him mahabarat is incomplete. He was one of the finest bhaktas of lord krishna. Its not easy to hate god.

Lord Krishna, he is the supreme personality of godhead, and i also think Arjun because he becomes a loving devotee of the lord and listens to all the commands given by the lord, even though he is afraid of killing his relatives in the great battle.
