emanates from the toe of Sri Visnu. Nevertheless, when Krishna, the Supreme Visnu, appeared in the Yadu Dynasty, He traveled personally through the kingdom of the Yadus, and by the intimate relations that He maintained with this dynasty, not only did the entire dynasty become famous, but she acquired from the other men purifying virtues superior to those of the Ganges.
On the other hand, though in appearance Sri Krishna gave protection to his devotees and wiped out demonic beings, both the first and the second obtained the same result; this is a second aspect of the excellence of Sri Krishna's advent. The Lord is the provider of five kinds of liberation. The demonic beings like Kamsa were granted liberation, that which consists in doing no more than one with the Supreme, but the gopis (young villagers, companions of God), they, obtained the privilege of living in contact with the Lord in person. The gopis retained their individuality to taste the company of Sri Krishna, while Kamsa was admitted into the impersonal Brahmajyoti (Radiance). In other words, demoniacs and gopis all attained spiritual liberation, but because the former were enemies and the second friends, demoniacs were killed when the gopis were protected.
The excellence of Sri Krishna's advent lies, thirdly, in the fact that the goddess of fortune, who receives the worship of celestial beings such as Brahma, Indra and Candra, still continues to serve the Lord, even as Krishna gives preference to gopis. Laksmiji, the goddess of fortune, does her best to reach the same level as the gopis, but to no avail. Nevertheless, she remained faithful to Krishna although in general she never stayed very long in the same place, she would even be venerated by celestial beings like Brahma.
The fourth aspect of the excellence of Sri Krishna's advent concerns the glories of his name. The Vedic texts teach that singing Rama's name three times can bring us the same benefits as singing the thousand different names of Sri Visnu. And in the same way, by singing only once the Holy Name of Krishna, the same benefit is acquired. In other words, of all the Holy Names of the Supreme Lord, including that of Visnu and Rama, the Holy Name of Krishna has the most power. This is why Vedic writings place special emphasis on the chant of the Holy Name of Krishna:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
“The song Hare Krishna means: - O Lord, O Lord's energy, let me serve You”
This chant of the Holy Name of Krishna, Lord Caitanya the Golden Avatar, revealed in this age, the age of Kali or the age of discord and quarrels, thus making access to liberation easier than 'in previous ages. In other words, Sri Krishna excels in excellence in his other manifestations, although each of them is just as much God, the Supreme Person.
