Krishna 

Krishna is a Divine Teacher, Messiah, Avatar, Who incarnated in India about 5000 years ago. He left to people the Bhagavad Gita — one of the greatest, by its profound­ness of wisdom and breadth of fundamental problems covered, books existing on the Earth.

Philosophical truths are expounded in the Bhagavad Gita in the form of a dialogue between Krishna and His friend Arjuna before the military combat. These answers of Krishna form the essence of the Bhagavad Gita.

The Bhagavad Gita is a great philosophical work that played the same role in the history of India, as the New Testament did in the history of countries of the European culture. Both these books powerfully proclaim the principle of Love-Bhakti as the basis of spiritual self-development of man. The Bhagavad Gita also presents to us a complete notion about such fundamental problems of philosophy as what is man, what is God, what is the meaning of human life and the principles of human evolution.
