Krishna
Who is Krishna?
Krishna is one of the most loved gods in all of Indian mythology. He is playful, clever, and kind, and his life is full of adventures. As a baby, he stole butter and charmed everyone in his village. As a boy, he defeated demons sent to kill him. As a grown man, he became the wise guide of the hero Arjuna.
Krishna is an avatar of Vishnu, which means he is Vishnu himself, born on Earth to fix a broken world. His story has everything: miracles, pranks, music, dance, and some of the deepest wisdom ever spoken. That is why kids and grown-ups have loved him for thousands of years.
