LORD KRISHNA
The Supreme Lord Krishna exhibited His omnipotent and almighty universal form of innumerable faces and eyes, revealing innumerable miraculous wonders, decorated with innumerable, dazzling ornaments, armed with innumerable gleaming weapons, magnificently attired and resplendently garlanded, annointed with equisite, celestial fragrances; phenomenally astounding, unlimited, effulgent and all pervading.evam uktva tato rajan maha-yogesvaro harih darsayamasa parthaya paramam rupam aisvaram aneka-vaktra-nayanam anekadbhuta-darsanam

isvarah paramah krishna sac-cid-ananda vigrahah anadir adir govindah sarva karana karanam
Lord Krishna is the supreme absolute controller, whose form is pure immortality, omniscience and bliss. He is without beginning, the origin of all, the cause of all causes and the source of the eternal Vedas.
Brahma Samhita, Chapter 5, Verse 1
All the incarnations are plenary portions or explansions of plenary expansions appearing in various universes to protect the theists; but Lord Krishna is the original Supreme Lord and the source of all.ete camsa-kalah pumsah krishnas tu bhagavan svayam indras vyakulam lokam mrdayanti yuge yuge
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 1, chapter 3,verse 28
Lord Krishna said I am situated as the soul within the heart of all beings, remembrance and forgetfulness comes from me. I can be known by the knowledge of the Vedas. I am the original creator of the Vedic scriptures and a knower of the Vedas.sarvasya caham hrdi sannivistho mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyo vedanta-krd veda-vid eva caham
Bhagavad-Gita, chapter 15, verse 15
Factually all the Vedic scriptures unamimously are the establisher of Lord Krishna as the Supreme Lord of all; but the unique speciality of the Bhagavad-Gita is that the Supreme Lord Krishna is directly speaking this divine revelation Himself.
Lord Krishna said only by unalloyed devotional service can I be understood as I am and can be seen directly. Only in this way can one enter into the mystery of my understanding.bhaktya tu ananyaya sakya aham evam-vidho r'juna jnatum drastum ca tattvena pravestum ca parantapa
Bhagavad-Gita, chapter 11, verse, 54
The relationship between the Supreme Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad-Gita is that Lord Krishna is the established and the Bhagavad-Gita is the establisher. The subject matter of the Bhagavad-Gita categorically and scientifically in a complete and comprehensive way establishes the eternal reality of Lord Krishnas as the supreme ultimate truth. The accomplished objective of Bhagavad-Gita confirms that the highest goal in all of existence is to surrender fully unto Lord Krishna and by the cessation of ignorance and all other obstacles in the material worlds become liberated by loving devotion in this very life and join Him in His transcendental and blissful pastimes eternally.
Understand that the Supreme Lord Krishna is the original soul of all living entities. For the benefit of the whole universe He has out of His causeless mercy manifested Himself appearing as a human being. He has manifested this by the power of His internal potency.krsnam enam avehi tvam atmanam akhilatmanam jagad-dhitaya so'py atra dehivabhati mayaya
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 10, chapter 14, verse 55
Brahma
Lord Brahma said: My dear Lord Krishna, I pray to be so fortunate that in this life or in another life, wherever I may take birth even if it is in the animal species that I may be your devotee and engage myself in your devotional service.brahmovaca tad astu me natha sa bhuri-bhago bhave'tra vanyatra tu va tirascam yenaham eko'pi bhavaj-jananam bhutva niseve tava pada-pallavam
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 10, chapter 14, verse 30
Narada Muni
O' Narada being very satisfied by your goodness and service you were taught the ultimate science of transcendental devotion to the Supreme Lord fully illuminating the truth of the soul which is perfectly known by souls surrendered to Lord Krishna.tubyam ca narada bhrsam bhagavan vivrddha bhavena sadhu paritusta uvaca yogam jnanam ca bhagavatam atma-satattva-dipam yad vasudeva-sarana vidur anjasaiva
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 2, chapter 7, verse 9
Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa
In course of time Vyasa bearing in mind the intelligence and short life span of humanity at large considered his compilation of the Vedas to be too difficult, so he divided the Vedic knowledge into different branches.kalena milita-dhyam avamrsya nrnam stokayasam sva-nigamo bata dura-parah avirhitas tu anuyugam sa hi satyavatyam veda-drumam vita-paso vibhajisyati sma
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 2, chapter 7, verse 36
