From Panini to the Harivamsha, Bhagavata, the Upanishads, the Jatakas, the Sutras and even the Brahmanas confirm his existence. And although these literary references coupled with the numerous archaeological evidence such as the discovery of the underwater city of Dwarka are important towards establishing the historical basis for Shree Krishna's existence, we must not forget that folk tradition, popular arts and rituals all have their basis in history as well. Therefore it is imperative to understand the significance of the universal popularity of Shree Krishna all over India, as reflected in its people's festive, artistic, musical, dance, literary and spiritual traditions. These are no less valuable as evidence of Shree Krishna's existence and fame than archaeological objects or carbon dating. For they demonstrate a consistent and unifying theme that underlies cultural traditions all over India; the love and respect for Krishna. How else does one explain the universality of His appeal or the detail with which anecdotes of his life are related and reenacted in every state of this vast and varied country. >From Arunachal to Kerala, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, every state has its own special story to tell, its own special connection to Krishna and its own endearing way of honoring this legend. What greater testament is there to national integration and harmony than the concordance of a nation inspired together one billion strong by the highest of philosophies as espoused by the greatest of souls, in the form of the Bhagvad Geeta of Shree Krishna. Let us celebrate together the eternal legacy of the Supreme Avatar who out of his own benevolence and love gave us the 'The Song Divine' which contains the highest doctrines and essence of the Vedas and enunciates the principles and practices of Sankhya and Karma Yoga, guiding each of us towards the realization of the Highest Personality that is God.
