Krishna
Krishna is worshipped as the eighth avatar of Vishnu and is central to the Bhagavad Gita, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata Purana. Devotees know him as a playful child of Vrindavan, a devoted friend, and the divine charioteer who spoke the Gita to Arjuna. Krishna bhakti — expressed through mantras such as the Hare Krishna Mahamantra, aarti, and stotram — is among the most widely practiced devotional traditions in Hinduism, especially within Vaishnavism and ISKCON.
