For many Hindus, Krishna is God incarnate. He participates in history, walks this earth as a mortal but still retains the power to defy the laws of space and time. Krishna is Ishwara who is Mahadeva who is Bhagavan who is God. God is self-created or svayambhu and self-contained. A god is obliged to participate in the wheel of life; God, on the other hand, has the choice to step in and out. God may submit to the law of Brahmanda but does not depend on it for his existence.

Narada’s Doubt

Narada had heard that Krishna had married 16,108 women. ‘How can he keep everyone happy?’ he wondered. Curious, he decided to visit Krishna’s island-city Dwarka. There he found 16,108 palaces. In each palace he found a Krishna with a queen. There were 16,108 Krishnas for 16,108 queens. Krishna had defied the laws of space and time and multiplied himself to satisfy everyone. Narada realized that Krishna was no ordinary human. He was God himself. (Bhagavata Purana)
