Various Vaishnava deities are considered Supreme in Vaishnavism - Vishnu, Rama, Krishna, Vithoba. Also, Krishna is pan-Hindu in nature, not a sectarian Vaishnava deity. Redtigerxyz Talk 12:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Vishnu, Rama, Krishna, Vithoba are all considered the same person; even Krishnaists agree that Krishna and Vishnu point out to the same person. Also Krishna himself claims to be the Ultimate Being in every single text he himself talks, so I thought this deserves a greater representation in his own article. But you are a more experienced editor and I guess you'd know better than me, so I will take some time reading more about article priorities and ways of writing a proper article in Wikipedia. Thank you —कृष्णकुलिKrsnaquli || Contact - 14:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. Krishnaists consider Vishnu as a form of Krishna - the Supreme Being (not the same), Sri Vaishanavas consider Vishnu as the Supreme, Krishna as an avatar of Vishnu. Ramanandi Sampradaya considers as Rama as the Supreme, Krishna being his avatar. We need to define Krishna in a WP:NEUTRAL language as done in various scholarly references.

What you just said theoretically means that both Vishnu and Krishna forms indicate the same person, Vaishnavas have consensus on that. —कृष्णकुलिKrsnaquli || Contact - 16:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, disagree again. The Sri Vaishnava belief that Krishna is the avatar/ form of Vishnu, but not vice versa. Vishnu is Supreme, not the form of Krishna in this viewpoint. Redtigerxyz Talk 17:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm trying to say is that both Krishna and Vishnu are forms of Svayam Bhagavan according to Vaishnavism —कृष्णकुलिKrsnaquli || Contact - 17:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Krsnaquli I agree with @Redtigerxyz. It is clear that what Redtigerxyz says is correct - e.g. consider Edwin Bryant's Krishna: A sourcebook page 13 "Moving forward to the sixteenth century and the theologies of what are sometimes referred to as the Krishnaite schools, we find the emergence of organized Krishna lineages that reversed the commonly held relationship between Vishnu and Krishna, positing Krishna as the source of Vishnu rather than a derivative incarnation of Vishnu".

Krishna should be changed to Krishn as Krishna is Draupadi's another name Maskedchocolate (talk) 12:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It is unclear what change you are seeking. If you are referring to a single instance of the usage of Krishna, please specify where and please provide a reliable source. If you are referring to the article title, please see WP:RM. RegentsPark (comment) 14:24, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Fields[edit]

Infobox Fields 'birth' and 'death' should be changed to 'avatar_birth' and 'avatar_end' respectively, considering Krishna is worshipped in dual forms—as a Supreme God residing in Goloka, and as an human avatar of his Supreme self or Vishnu depending upon the sect. Therefore, it is much more appropriate to use the suggested fields for his human birth. I did it but was asked for an consensus. .245CMR.👥📜 16:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
