The Supreme Lord Krishna
What is God ?
Anyone can declare themselves as God in so many ways, and the less intelligent and the ignorant
will accept. The deceivers will also take advantage of the ignorant and convince them to follow ordinary humans as God.
Knowing ‘what is God’ will help one to know the true God.
The true God is one who has appeared thousands of times in this and other universes, and many times on this planet and other planets. This proves He is Eternal and omnipotent. Anyone who has appeared only once can never be called God.
The true God is the creator of billions of universes with zillions of planets. He does not come to one significant planet (Earth) to suffer. He comes to enjoy a loving relationship with His devotees.
The true God is one who is most merciful and loving. Anyone who only gives once chance (one life), or sanctions eternal suffering, or uses fear can never be called God.
The true God gives on the spot liberation, saves people in their current life, and destroys the demonic. Anyone who just watches people being harassed and killed and cannot stop it, can never be called God.
The true God has six opulence in full. Beauty, knowledge, strength, wealth, fame, and renunciation.
The true God is the well-wisher of all living beings, and not just the humans or humans from one community or nation.
The true God is a person with a most beautiful spiritual form. Anyone who is average looking, has wrinkles, or a beard can never be called God. These are the symptoms of a material body. Any invisible god will always remain invisible, because they don’t exist.
The true God is a very creative author with unlimited knowledge. He has compiled thousands of books of knowledge. There are even humans who have compiled more than 50 books. Anyone who has compiled just a few books can never be called God.
The true God is a responsible and intelligent communicator. He does not make irresponsible nor ambiguous statements.
The true God performs miracles which have never been performed by anyone else.

– Lord Krishna is the original Personality of Godhead.
– Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.28
“sac-cid-ananda-vigrahaḥ”
– Lord Krishna has an eternal blissful spiritual body.
– Sri Brahma-Samhita 5.1

“Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me in the form of Krsna…”
– Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 8.7
Lord Krishna declared Himself as ‘rupam’, with form. One cannot meditate on something which is formless.
“When Arjuna thus saw Krsna in His original form, he said: O Janardana, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature.”
– Arjuna on seeing Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 11.51

standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into
the mysteries of My understanding.”– Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 11.54

They compare themselves with God, and because they have limitations due to their material body, they conclude that God cannot have a form, because He is great. They fail to realize that God has an eternal spiritual form, and not a temporary material form like ours. It’s for this reason that He is great, and we are not.
“Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the greatest. All the great sages such as Narada, Asita, Devala and Vyasa confirm this truth about You, and now You Yourself are declaring it to me.”
– Bhagavad-Gita 10.12-13

Krishna Lila
God has No Companions?
Why should God be alone? His power and opulence have no meaning, unless He exhibits His potencies with others.
Some people believe that God has no companions. Which also means that anyone with a companion is not God. The essence of this belief is to defy God by limiting Him based on limited human perception and intelligence. Such a belief is essentially atheistic. Those who say God has no companions, should first ask themselves why they have companions? Why don’t they live alone all their life? Have no spouse, no friends, no children, no relatives, no colleagues, and so on. How would they feel if they had to live alone for trillions of years?
God Has Unlimited Companions
We have a partner, the spouse. Most humans get married because life is boring alone. What is the point in alone existence? The purpose of life is to enjoy. But enjoyment is only possible when we share with others. If a person lives in a 10-bedroom house alone, it serves no purpose, there would be no enjoyment. It’s only worth living in a 10-bedroom house if one lives in the company of others and if others visit the house. Otherwise it means absolutely nothing to be alone in the house for entire life, or even a few days.
Most humans cannot live alone during this one short life of 100 years or less, which is perfectly natural. Can anyone live alone for say 100 years, or how about 1000 years, how about 100,000 years? There is no human on the planet who would agree to live alone for more than 100 years. Most do not want to live alone even for a few months.
The almighty God is existing for trillions of years, He is eternal. Why on earth would He live in the vast unlimited cosmos with millions of universes, all by Himself? What does He do all day by Himself? What enjoyment would He get by being by Himself for trillions and trillions of years? What is the value in His unlimited potency if He does not use it?
There has never been a King or President on the planet who lived alone, because it makes absolutely no sense to be the King or President without the citizens. A King means he has citizens, he has companions to enjoy life with by way of servants, friends, and personal consorts. In a similar way, the Supreme Personality of Godhead has companions and not just a few but unlimited. He has billions of personal servants, friends, and personal consorts. To enjoy and share His eternal life with others.
Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is never alone. He lives on the spiritual planet of Goloka Vrindavan with billions of friends, servants, and His eternal personal consort Radha. God has companions to experience and give love and happiness to others.
• Love can only be experienced between people and not alone.
• Happiness comes from sharing with others and not just alone.
• Satisfaction comes from pleasing others and not by oneself.
• Enjoyment can only be experienced by being with others and not by self.
If an eternal entity has no partners then he is devoid of love, devoid of happiness, devoid of satisfaction, and devoid of enjoyment. This means an insane entity.
Lord Krishna is most merciful and loving and He proves this by sharing His eternal life with living entities in a personal companion relationship, based on the desires and deserves of the living entities. Every living entity has a personal relationship with Lord Krishna, and this is realized when the living entity becomes a pure devotee of Lord Krishna. Eventually all living entities go back to the spiritual abode to enjoy the juice (rasa) of a personal companion relationship with Lord Krishna or His expansions.
