Shri Krishna Bhagwan graced the world approximately 5,000 years ago.
Though born into royalty, he was brought up as a cowherd. Thus, he is frequently seen pictured with cows and gopis (female devotees of the cowherd community).
Playing the flute, he won the hearts and souls of devotees.
His closest and dearest devotee is Shri Radha, who exemplifies unflinching love, total dedication and acceptance of the Divine Will.
The teachings of Shri Krishna Bhagwan are documented within the Bhagavad Gita, in which he outlines the basic tenets of true spirituality and encourages Arjun to fight for the greater good by defending righteousness.
