“Butter thief. Heart thief.” Krishna, Protector of Cows.
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.
