Typo

[edit]

ISCKON should be corrected to ISKCON 203.221.17.46 (talk) 13:08, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed; thank you for pointing this out. Certes (talk) 13:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

[edit]

This page's name should be changed to Krishna (in Hinduism), as a general overview page of Krishna, named Krishna-Vasudeva or historic Krishna is already there. Cuddlemebaby (talk) 19:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

per tradition: deity or Supreme God?

[edit]

@DaxServer @Redtigerxyz could you refer any scripture or contemporary belief that Krishna is perceived as a deity rather than Supreme God? Sources like Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavada Purana etc. all refer Krishna as the Supreme God, thus I do not understand deity categorization —कृष्णकुलिKrsnaquli || Contact - 15:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Traditions that concern Krishna emphasize nothing but Krishna to be Supreme God. That includes Bhagavad Gita, arguably the most well-known scripture of Hinduism, which declares Krishna as the Supreme God. For that, I believe Krishna should be emphasized as Supreme God of Vaishnavism. I couldn't trace any sign on Krishna being considered a deity on any scripture. —Krsnaquli || Contact - 15:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Krishna is not perceived as Supreme God in other sects like Shaivism and Shaktism and related Puranas. Also in Vaishnavism, Vishnu is generally the Supreme God; in Vaishnava sub-sects like Ramaism - Rama is Supreme; in these Krishna is an avatar of Vishnu. Redtigerxyz Talk 06:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Krishna worship practice is not observed in Shaivism or Shaktism. And in Vaishnavism regardless of subsects all Vishnu Krishna and Rama is believed to be Supreme God. Subsects differ by the status of manifestations, not on the Supreme God. —Krsnaquli || Contact - 10:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Image

[edit]

I recommend this painting ([1]) replacing the contemporary infobox image ([2]) per better representation. —Krsnaquli || Contact - 16:15, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General Comment: the img which you suggested is copyrighted by Bhaktivedanta Trust, and as per source, should be use under "fair use" for any purpose. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 16:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox image should be a non-sectarian depiction of Krishna. The image you suggested is very much in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness painting tradition and is not representative of the wide spectrum of Krishna worship/depiction.

Adding old image to Vishnu and Godd statue for Shiva.
why so much difference my dear @Dāsānudāsa
So many statue of Vishnu are found in world such as Angkor wat Vishnu temple, Cambodia, Garuda wisnu kencana, so many, add This
if you didn't add atleast change shiva image add old photo to shiva, treat all are equal, you promote Shiva supremacy and wiki user's shows bad light to Lord Vishnu.
only karma can teach you.
If you have humanitarian change and treat all as equal.
