Friends Event: Who is the Real Krishna?

Krishna is perhaps the most widely revered of Hindu deities whose image is worshipped in temples throughout India. However, Krishna appears to have something of a dual identity, firstly as the sagacious teacher familiar from the Mahabharata and Bhagavad-gita and then as the playful child and lover who sports in the forests around Vrindaban.  In this talk we will consider the identity of Krishna as the Supreme Deity and explore the ways in which this dual identity provides an important insight into the nature of the divine.
