Lord Krishna and His other Incarnations

In actual fact, there is no difference in essence between Lord Krishna and the different incarnations for they are all situated in the transcendental platform being above the modes of nature in contrast to the living entity who is conditioned and bound by these modes.All those forms are eternal and full of bliss without any trace of the ordinary material flaws while being complete in itself.Just as a beautiful translucent gem will appear in different hues of colour according to the position it is placed ,similarly the Lord may reciprocate in myriad ways with his loving devotees according to their individual moods.It is at this point that the Lord Krishna can exhibit all five loving moods namely,unattached, servitude,friendship,parental ending in the quintessence of all,which is the conjugal loving mood while the other Vishnu forms are limited to only half of these ,that is two and the half in totality .The half here connotes little of friendship.It is in this perspective we say that Lord Krishna is most complete and the source of all the other incarnations by virtue of having more qualities.On the other hand all the other incarnations are equal to the original as explained in the Brahma Samhita-diparcirevahidasantaram abhyupetya---dipayatevivrta hetu samana dharma,yastadrgeva hi cha vishnutaya vibhati ,govindam adi purusham tam aham bhajami
meaning : I worship Lord Govinda the source of all incarnations , who is the the original being in the way one candle is used to light other candles whichall give an equal amount of light in power similarly Lord Govinda is the origin of all other incarnations.
Thus there is in this regard no difference between Lord Rama and Lord Krishna in esscence even though we regard Lord Krishna as the origin of all others.Similarly in this light, the devotees do not see any difference between the Mahabharatha ,Geeta and the Bhaghavat even though the Mahabharatha do contains sections which emphasizes the superiority of knowledge and works with the apparent adulteration of pure devotion.The devotees are not bewildered by all these as the demoniac class of people in their random interpretations .
