In Hinduism and Indian mythology Krishna is the eighth avatar or reincarnation of the god Vishnu.Also Krishna is one of the most popular Hindu gods.Krishna was saved when exchanged by his parents for the daughter of a herdsman Nanda and his wife Yasoda (the daughter was also a divine being, an incarnation of Maya).With his foster parents Krishna spent a happy life playing boyish pranks and seducing the gopis (cow girls) and other rustic maidens.They found his flute playing irresistible.Krishna is the speaker of the Bhagavad-gita, which is recognized throughout the world as one of mankind’s greatest books of wisdom. In the Gita, as it is also known, Krishna says repeatedly that He is God Himself, the source of everything. Arjuna, to whom Krishna is speaking, accepts Krishna’s words as true, adding that the greatest spiritual authorities of that time also confirm that Krishna is God.The Vedas describe Krishna in this way: He is a beautiful youth with a glowing complexion the color of rain clouds. He plays a flute, attracting the hearts of all. His cheeks are brilliant, His smile enchanting. He wears a peacock feather in His curly black hair and a flower garland around His neck. His beautiful garments are the color of lightning. His toenails resemble the light of the moon.

Geeta Shlokas

saha-jam karma kaunteya sa-dosam api na tyajet

sarvarambha hi dosena dhumenagnir ivavrtah

TRANSLATION

Lord Krishna to Arjuna(Kauntaya):-

O Kautanya! One should carry on performing his duty and never abandon it even though the duty is full of faults. Definitely, all works are surrounded by faults as smoke surrounds the fire.

"Cancalam Hi Manah Krsna Pramathi Balavaddrdham

Tasyaham Nigraham Manye Vayoriva Suduskaram"

Translation:-

This Sloka states that the Individual self is the traveler in the chariot of the material body and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument and the senses are the horses. Thus, the self is the enjoyer or sufferer in the relationship of the mind and senses.
