What is the favorite flower of lord Krishna?
Asked by Wiki User
Tulsi or Tulasi leaves is the most important leaf used in pujas and prayers dedicated to Lord Krishna. Tulasi acts both as a flower and leaf. In most temples it is also offered as Prasada. It is also known as Krishna Tulsi - a dark variety of the plant. It is holy basil in English and in most Indian languages it is known as Tulsi or Thulasi.
According to mythology, PÄrijÄta is a heavenly tree brought to earth by lord Krishna. A quarrel over it ensued between Satyabhama and Rukmini, Krishna's wives. But Krishna planted the tree in Satyabhama's courtyard in a way that when the tree flowered, the flowers fell in Rukmini's courtyard.
Lord Vishnu's heavenly throne is placed under a flowering Parijata tree, and Hanuman lives under its shade.
Another romantic story woven around the tree is about princess PÄrijÄta who fell in love with the sun. When he deserted her she committed suicide and a tree sprung from the ashes. Unable to stand the sight of the lover who left her, the tree flowers only at night and sheds them like tear-drops before the sun rises.
It is always said by elders that the greatest offering to Lord Krishna is a Tulsi leaf.
Flowers that are avoided during Krishna Puja include hibiscus, milkweed and angel's trumpets.
What is Lord Krishna's vahana?
Asked by Wiki User
Lord Krishna was born like an ordinary human being. He grew like ordinary human being. He acted as per composition of his genetic material. Only the difference between Him and ordinary human being is that He knew that He is the Almighty. He knew that He is God. He came to save the mankind in particular and ecosystem in general. Rather to save the people, who are good and to destroy the people, who are bad. He did not do it Himself in the war of Mahabharata. He guided the Arjuna about salvation of souls. He came with the solution to the problems of mankind. He died like ordinary human being after His job was done. So He has no 'vahana' (that means a mount.) Here I want to point to the life of Lord Jesus. He was born as ordinary child. Grew as ordinary child. He came to save the mankind in particular and ecosystem in general. Lord Jesus was crucified. It was not beyond the power of Lord to resist those few people. But He did not do it. It is beyond the capacity of ordinary mortals to understand the Almighty God. We perceive as per our perceptions. We conclude as per our miniature brain allows us to conclude. Our conclusions are dominated by silly ego. It takes some intelligence to know that you are an idiot.

What is the exact date of birth of lord Krishna?
Asked by Wiki User
I believe Lord Vishnu ( Krishna) is known at least 10,000 years ago. Lord Vishnu, is the oldest God known to mankind. He is acknowledged as being The Creator. Today, amongst the religions that have their root in Judaismn (5000 years) from the time of Abraham do not realize that Lord Vishnu is the One God, known by other names such as Jehovah and Allah.
"What you believe is based on what your hear in rumors. Please do not call Jesus as Lord Vishnu. You do not know the bible or its claims. In fact you are ignorant. Second you have no reference as to why Krishna is 10,000 years old. One you do not know how old this planet is. We know Jesus is accurately about 2000 years old through astronomy and what is written in the bible and has been verified. The only other God who has such level of accuracy would be Lord Ram who lived about 5000 years. Therefore Hindu mythology cannot possibly extend beyond a reasonable 6000-7000 year history if that. The bible is far more trustworthy than any other religious texts because of archeaology. Since Christ is about 2000 years old, it would seem that if he spoke of Lord Vishnu he would have said so in the bible. Since it is not known, you are at a great error. All other Hindu Gods recognize their various incarnation but they never spoke of Christ, and Christ never spoke of them. Therefore please please please do not rely on what you hear but be not lazy and give some time to searching the answers.
"The Bible portion that references Jesus is the New Testament and was written 300 to 400 years after the death of Christ, so the reliability is based upon rumors using your vernacular and I imagine you are an ignorant Christian that your beliefs as supreme. Even during the sojourn of Abraham in Egypt, the Egyptians were worshiping one God. The Creator is known by many names and is One. Christ did not come to found a new religion nor set himself up as a god, rather he came to restate what was already written in Leviticus. I really do not believe that you know what you are talking about. If any reference to Christ would have been made it would come from Lord Chaitanya (spelling may be in error) not Lord Vishnu, as Christ was not conceived yet. The paths of worship as followed by Christians, Jew, Muslims, Hindu's, Buddhist, etc. are devised according to the consciousness of the people the religion services in its geographic area.
"The Egyptions did not worship one God they workshipped many. The bible records that the God of the Hebrews punished the Egyptions and they were not able to do defend themselves. In reality it was a war between the God of Israel and the devil. Of course the devil had to lose. Reliability of the bible is not based on when it was written, but rather the countless prophecies it makes and have come true. The old testament and the new testament together make up about 66 books of the bible and they all say the same thing. No contradictions. If one can find errors in the bible, they are typographical "human" errors not spiritual ones. The bible records not only the thoughts of God but also of man. At the end of the day, God wants to know your decision. Will you choose his Son's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of sin you desperately need, or will you trample over the precious blood of Jesus? You see Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except thru me" Jesus also said "I am the light of the world" The most powerful verse in the bible when taken seriously, is John 3:16. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever would believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life". My friend their is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain!!! .
Their is ample evidence that Jesus existed even his original photograph that He himself as made on his own burial cloth. Look up 'The Shroud of Turin" for further explanation. Nothing like this exists for any other God. My friend Jesus is pure love and has fullfilled the law that we all cannot keep. We are all bankrupt sinners who can never repay our sin debt. Let Jesus pay for your sins freely by just accepting the blood. What could be better than to live in peace with God. Jesus loves you enough to take a wild beating that was very painful and then suffer death on the cross. Can you really ask God for more proof that he loves you infinitely??
Amen.
