Overview
Overview of Krishnaism
Krishnaism, also known as Krishnism, is a tradition within Hinduism that worships Krishna as the Supreme Deity. Originating around 4,000 years ago, it is one of the major branches of Vaishnavism. This belief system is prevalent in the Indian states of Odisha, Manipur, West Bengal, and northeastern states.
Theological Characteristics
The central tenet of Krishnaism is that Krishna is the absolute, ultimate reality. This contrasts with mainstream Hinduism that recognizes a pantheon of gods. Followers of Krishnaism believe Krishna is an avatar of Vishnu, but with higher status. They consider him to be the source of all avatars, outliving and transcending all cosmic creation and destruction.
Key Texts and Practices
The key texts used in Krishnaism include the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. These scriptures outline Krishna's divine play, teachings, and miracles. The practice of Bhakti, or devotion, which involves singing hymns, prayer, meditation, and community service, is a core aspect of Krishnaism.
Key Festivals
Krishna Janmashtami, the birth celebration of Krishna, is one of the most important festivals for Krishnaism followers. Holi, the festival of colors, and Ratha-Yatra, the chariot festival, also hold significant importance. During these festivals, devotees sing and dance in jubilation, showing their love for Krishna.
Final Word
Krishnaism has been a defining force in social and religious reform movements in India, influencing theology, arts, music, and dance. Its followers come from various socio-economic backgrounds, making it a diverse and rich tradition within Hinduism.
