Krishna

The Supreme Personality of Godhead. There are many gods but there is only one God. (God told Moses at Mt Sinai: you shall have no other gods before me. If there were no other (demi-) gods or God-empowered beings, why such commandment? Being the source of everything S/He is the possessor of:

1. all beauty (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount),

2. all knowledge/wisdom (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount),

3. all strength (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount),

4. all wealth (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount),
5. all fame (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount) and
6. all renunciation (in unlimited and ever-multiplying amount). This means that even though S/He owns all S/He is not attached to it, and is only 'conquered' by pure & unmotivated love of a devotee.
Krishna in Sanskrit means 'the-all-attractive-one'. Krishna's other names: Allah, Yahweh, Abba etc.

The Absolute Truth, Krishna, the cause of all causes Who has no other causes beyond Himself possesses an unlimited number of names and His names are non-different from Him. The above definition means that He is the source (and therefore possessor) of both masculine & feminine aspects, the supreme controller or the so-called triple 'O'-God. The omnipotent, the omnipresent & the omniscient person. God must be a person and must have a form because if He has no personality and no form He is missing what all of us have and cannot be called God. Of course, His personality and form are not material unlike ours. His transcendental bodily form is the personification of sat-cit-ananda or the eternality, knowledge and bliss. And therefore He has an unlimited number of transcendental or spiritual forms. The soul or the real us, the spark of energy that comes into the body at conception and leaves at death is in terms of quality, non-different from God. Yet in terms of the quantity, we are just an infinitesimal part of Him endowed with only one freedom - to choose to have fun with or without Him.
