Page 4 - Sri Aurobindo on Sri Krishna

Two facts emerge clearly, that he was regarded as an important

spiritual figure, one whose spiritual illumination was recorded in one

of the Upanishads, and that he was traditionally regarded as a divine

man, one worshipped after his death as a deity; this is apart from the

story in the Mahabharata and the Puranas. There is no reason to

suppose that the connection of his name with the development of the

Bhagavata religion, an important current in the stream of Indian

spirituality, was founded on a mere legend or poetic invention.

(CWSA, 28: 482-483)
