how the Lord Shiva is different from Lord Sri krishan .?

Answer 1

If by Shiva u mean one of the trinity of Brhamaa, vishnu and mahesh then Shiva (mahesh) is a manifestation of Krishna

If you are talking of Lord Shiva, the supreme consciousness, then Krishna is the active manifestation of shiva

and shiva is the passive manifestation of Krishna

Answer 2

Lord Shiva is one of the ancient deity of Hinduism. Lord Shiva has appeared in some late Upanisads and in the epics and Puranas as the focus of the vast mythology and philosophical reflection.


Whereas the Lord Krishna is the most popular (Eight) Avatara of Vishnu. For many worshipers he is the full manifestation of Vishnu. He was a descendant of of the Yadava race, an old pastoral tribe living on the Yamuna around Vrndavana on the western bank, and around Gokula on the eastern.

Answer 3

Most common assumption is that Shiva is one of the original trinity of Gods: Brahma, Vishnu,and Maheswara(Shiva),Brahma is Creator,Vishnu is Maintainer and Shiva, the destroyer; this is the nature of any existence-birth,growth,decay and death.These Trinity of gods have no human like existence on earth! Brahma and Shiva do not incarnate also,whereas Vishnu does to protect the good from the evil. Krishna is one of the avatar-incarnation- of Vishnu.Krishna has a period,Dwapara Yuga, whereas the other two are eternal.

Answer 4

there is only one power in this universal. It is known by Lord Shiva and Lord Sri Krishan etc.
Truth is one. sages call it by various names.

Answer 5

Lord Siva is the oldest form of God admitted by all theologians world over. Krishna is believed to have been born and lived in flesh and blood. He is regarded more as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Krishna belongs to the pantheon of gods in the Vaishnava tradition. But, ultimately, according to the Hindu theology, God is one and the same and He manifests himself in different forms. If you say both Siva and Krishna are one and the same, a Vedantist will not oppose.

Answer 6

I really don't understand what to you mean by this question what exactly you want to know but in simple words the difference between Lord Shiva and Lord Krishana is as the difference in you and me or any other two people they two are different identities.

Answer 8

Shiva was the Destroyer. and Lord Krishna (or) vishnu was the organiser or the ruler. It is the difference between both of them please.

Answer 9

hmmmm.....

My two cents worth:

"Shiva" as a denotation refers to the Supreme Soul and not Shankara as in the trinity of Bramha-Vishnu-Mahesh. These three are manifestations of the Supreme being for the creation-functioning-destruction for recreation, of the universe.

Having said that it is imperitive to analyse this question from 2 points of views:

First being that Shiva mentioned in the question is indeed meant as Shiva the Supreme. If this is he case then definately Krishna is different from Shiva as Krishna is a leelavataar, a manifestation of Shiva's manifestation as Vishnu, and hence different. Shiva the Supreme is the Whole and Krishna is a part of that whole who manifested for a definite purpose with definate characteristics.

Second being, if Shiva is referred to as Mahesh. In this scenario Mahesh and Vishnu are equal manifestations of the Supreme but for entirely different purposes. Krishnavataar being a part manifestation of Shri Vishnu is again different to Shiva in the sense that the work areas of both are different.

isnt it mentioned in the Bhagavatam that both Bramha and Shankara disguised and visited Nanda in order to see for themselves the baala-leela of Krishna? So they are different.

It is important to realize here that though all emanate from the same Energy Source(Shiva-the Supreme Soul), the pools of energies from which the avataars manifest is different in purpose but not in character and original source.

Herein lies the beauty of Hinduism where it allows the Supreme Soul to be visualized by people of different followings as they deem fit to see according to the pleasure of their paths. For Shaivaiites the Supreme Soul is Shiva the pointsource of light. For Vaishnavaites the Supreme Soul is Shri Maha Vishnu with the viraat Swaroop, and for the Shaktas the Supreme Soul is Adi Shakti.

It is like watching the same source of light from different sides through different colored glass as in a diwali lantern/lamp. to some its red, to some its blue, to some its green, to yet some its yellow, but the beauty of the lantern can only be enjoyed by the person who sees all this play of colors in its entirety and as one.

Hope this helps

Thanks
