Was Krishna based on Christ?

[theist]

Yes, like the account of Jesus at Ratha-yatra. What at first sounds like a rejection of the event by Christ is really him speaking the essence of vaisnavism.

[anadi]

You maybe know much about Jesus,

what about Krishna?

 

"Our recitation of Brahma-saMhitA will be considered successful

when we become the followers of Caturmukha BrahmA

and attain the mercy of BhagavAn,

and when we can become the receptacles of love of God

through singing these divine hymns in

praise of Sri KRSNa.

At that time we will be able to understand that Sri RAdhA-Govinda (Krishna),

the embodiments of sweet human-like pastimes, exist in the form of Sri Gaurasundara.

 

Sri Gaurasundara resides in the most elevated realm of service to the genuine

supreme predominating enjoyer, who possesses all opulence.

 

In the lower half of Goloka (spiritual world), two-and-a-half rasas (devotional mellows)

are present in relation to Sri Narayana.

MaheSa-dhAma (spiritual abode of Shiva) lies below this,

and below that again lies Devi-dhAma, the mundane realm that consists of fourteen planetary systems.

The residents of Devi-dhAma, who are wandering throughout the

universe, attain withdrawal of their material desires in MaheSa-dhAma.

The conception of desirelessness that can be attained in

MaheSa-dhAma eternally shines forth through the myriad variety

of services available in the transcendental abode. That resplendent

myriad of services is embodied in this Brahma-saMhitA

which describes

the fifth and ultimate goal of human existence,

namely the ultimate limit of the nectar of divine love for Sri Sri RAdhA-Govinda (Krishna).

Sri Gaurasundara exhibited the extent of His magnanimity

in His pastime of bestowing Sri kRSNa-prema (divine love of God), by

collecting that nectar and personally distributing it to the souls of

this world."
