Is Shri Krishna the Supreme Lord?

BY : Jahnu Das

Yes. Krishna is the most ancient and well documented version of God available in the world.

Bhagavad Gita is the only book on the planet in which God describes in detail about Himself, the soul and the world and how they inter-relate. Krishna’s teachings are the pinnacle of philosophy and religion. The philosophy delivered by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita is without a doubt the most ancient, complete, sophisticated and scientific explanation of reality available anywhere in the world at all time.

Krishna says:

I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts. (Bg 10.8)

Now hear, O son of Prtha, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.

I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal and numinous. This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know.

Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego -- all together these eight constitute My separated material energies.

Besides these, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is another, superior energy of Mine, which comprises the living entities who are exploiting the resources of this material, inferior nature.

All created beings have their source in these two natures. Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution.

O conqueror of wealth, there is no truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread.

--Bhagavad Gita 7.1-7
