Commonly, when people discuss the Bhagavad Gita, they often wonder, who is Krishna? Depending on who you ask, you may get various answers. To some, he is a historical figure. To others, he is a mythological figure. Still, to others he is one of many Hindu "gods". So, who is Krishna? The answer is found in Vedic scriptures. In the Bhagavad Gita, the Absolute Truth is described as the original supreme person, the source and leader of all the demigods, "twam adi devah purusah puranah". Purusah puranah means the original personality, and "adi devah" means the original God, the cause of all demigods like Brahma, Shiva and even Vishnu. "Twam" indicates" Krishna. So Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is nothing superior to Krishna. Krishna is the cause of all causes. I will elaborate more on the position of Lord Krishna in my next post tomorrow.
