Krishna (कृष्ण), whose name means 'dark', is worshipped as an avatar of Vishnu and, in many traditions, as the Supreme Lord himself. As a child among the cowherds of Vrindavan he stole butter, played his bamboo flute so sweetly that the cows stood still, and lifted Govardhan Hill to shelter the villagers from a storm. As a grown prince he counselled the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield, the teaching kept as the Bhagavad Gita. Devotees celebrate his midnight birth at Janmashtami.
