While in the [[Vedas]] the names Rama, Vishnu, and thousands of other names are understood as Devtas (lit. bright, shining ones) or [[Avatars]] of God, or maybe God himself but in Gurmat God is One, Undefinable and Formless. One of the early Sanskrit words or names, that Hindus worship as an aspect of God,  has the same meaning in Panjabi and most of the other languages of India. The word ''Krishna'' means - dark or black. 


In Gurbani, Mann (one's thoughts or mind) is considered Black, especially if someone does not listen to their inner soul.


While in the [[Vedas]] the names Krishna, Rama, Vishnu and thousands of other names are understood as Devtas (lit. bright, shining ones) or [[Avatars]] of God, in Gurmat God is One, Undefinable and Formless. One of the early Sanskrit words or names, that Hindus worship as an aspect of Godhas the same meaning in Panjabi and most of the other languages of India. The  word ''krisna'' (not Krishna (the Hindu God) means - dark or black in colour.
In Gurbani, the Dark part of one's soul is referred to as Krishna (darkness), and the light part of one's soul is referred to as [[Rama]], each person's soul has two parts KRISHNA and RAMA. The Positive is RAMA and the Negative is Krishna, but if these two are one then the next step is how does one get to god? First, we must work to rid our lives of negativity, living our lives positivelyas our RAMA guides us from the inside.  


In Gurbani, Mann (one's thoughts or  mind) is spoken of as being Black in color, especially if a person does not listen to their own inner soul.  
Gurbani rejects the material philosophy of Worship in many ways, like:-
ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਔ ਬਿਸਨ ਜਪੇ ਤੁਹਿ ਕੋਟਿਕ ਰਾਮ ਰਹੀਮ ਭਲੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਧਿਆਯੋ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਜਪਿਓ ਅਰੁ ਸੰਭੁ ਥਪਿਓ ਤਿਹ ਤੇ ਤੁਹਿ ਕੋ ਕਿਨਹੂੰ ਨ ਬਚਾਯੋ ॥……..ਤੋਹਿ ਬਚਾਇ ਸਕੈ ਕਹੁ ਕੈਸੇ ਕੈ ਆਪਨ ਘਾਵ ਬਚਾਇ ਨ ਐਹੈ ॥ਕੋਪ ਕਰਾਲ ਕੀ ਪਾਵਕ ਕੁੰਡ ਮੈ ਆਪ ਟੰਗਿਓ ਤਿਮ ਤੋਹਿ ਟੰਗੈਹੈ ॥


In Gurbani the Dark part of one's soul is referred to as krisna (darkness) and the light part of one's soul is referred to  as [[Rama]], each person's soul has two parts KRISHNA and RAMA. The Positive is RAMA and the Negative is krishna, but if these both two are one then the next step is how does one get god? First we must work to rid our lives of negativity, living our lives positively, as our RAMA guides us from inside.  
Thou hast meditated on millions of Krishnas, Vishnus, Ramas and Rahims. Thou hast recited the name of Brahma and established Shivalingam, even then none could save thee…….They cannot save themselves form the blow of death, how can they protect thee? They are all hanging in the blazing fire of anger, therefore they will cause thy hanging similarly. (pg111)


Gurbani says there are MANY KRISHNAS and there are MANY RAMAS too.
ਮੈ ਨ ਗਨੇਸ਼ਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮ ਮਨਾਊਂ ॥ ਕਿਸ਼ਨ ਬਿਸ਼ਨ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨਹ ਧਿਆਊਂ ॥ਕਾਨ ਸੁਨੇ ਪਹਿਚਾਨ ਨ ਤਿਨ ਸੋਂ ॥ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਮੋਰੀ ਪਗ ਇਨ ਸੋਂ ॥੪੩੪॥ (ਕ੍ਰਿ.ਵਤਾਰ)


How in Gurmat Krisna is different as described by Previous religions:
I do not adore Ganesha in the beginning and also do not meditate on Krishna and Vishnu; I have only heard about them with my ears and I do not recognize them; my consciousness is absorbed at the feet of the Supreme Lord.434.

In the above line Guru Sahib (Guru Granth Sahib) clearly says that  there are Many Krishnas and Shivas. Now the question is how is krishna many? There was only one krishna define. It means Krishna is not one. The concept is different from hinduism.

To Sikhs, Ram (God, Wahiguru) has never played a flute (as God is formless, but present in all of Creation).
Rama = Inner Soul<br>
Krisna = Soul Tangeled worldly Attachments and vices(it is also called Ravana, Dushashan etc)
When Krishna take away our brain and uses it, then such Matt is called Manmatt because such person is tangle in Vices but when such krishna listen to Shabad Guru(who is called Hanuvant), than slowly it merges in Ram. Once it merges itself in Ram(Positive, Leaving worldly attachments). It is now ready to meet God. So Every krishna(Person) should understand his inner soul first(Ram).

Krisna (Gurmukhi:ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨੁ) is a Gurmat term, that appeared 17 times in Guru Granth Sahib, the primary scripture of Sikhs.

It means Black. As per Gur Shabad Ratnakar Mahankosh, Krishna means Kala or Paap-Aatma.[1] As per Sanskrit Dictionary, Krishna means dark and dark-blue. [2]

In Sikh Religion, the interpretations of Krishna are not the same as Hindu Religion though both are related.

Krishna, in Hinduism

Krishna Tends to Radha’s Feet
  • Krishna is a deity, worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism.
  • Vaishnava groups recognize him as a full avatar of the god, Vishnu or Vishnu himself;
  • Some traditions within Krishnaism, consider Krishna to be Svayam Bhagavan or the Supreme Being.
  • Krishna was born to Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva in Dwapar Yuga in Mathura. (which means he was Jooni)
  • Yashoda and Nand nourished Krishna in Gokula.
  • Krishna plays with the gopis (milkmaids) of Brindavana, especially Radha, beloved of the god Krishna.
  • Krishna has eight princely wives and other junior wives: Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Kalindi, Mitravinda, Nagnajiti, Bhadra, Lakshmana, and other 16,000 or 16,100 junior queens.
  • Krishna fought various wars with Rakshashas Tribe.
  • Krishna's outspoken Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna at Mahabharat War.
  • Krishna was killed by a Hunter Jara, who hit an arrow in his feet while meditating in Jungles.

Condemnation of considering various material deity in the name of God

Although, there has been many statements in praise of the god Krishna, however worshipping for the material cause has been straightaway rejected.

Krishna himself is considered the treasure of Grace, then why did the hunter shot his arrow at him ? He has been described as redeeming the clans of others then he caused the destruction of his own clan;
He is said to be unborn and beginningless, then how did he come into the womb of Devaki ? He , who is considered without any father or mother, then why did he cause Vasudev to be called his father?14.(33 Savaiye, Guru Gobind Singh)
ਕਯੋਂ ਕਹੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨਿਧ ਹੈ ਕਿਹ ਕਾਜ ਤੇ ਬੱਧਕ ਬਾਣ ਲਗਾਯੋ ॥ ਅਉਰ ਕੁਲੀਨ ਉਧਾਰਤ ਜੋ ਕਿਹ ਤੇ ਅਪਨੋ ਕੁਲ ਨਾਸੁ ਕਰਾਯੋ ॥
ਆਦਿ ਅਜੋਨਿ ਕਹਾਇ ਕਹੋ ਕਿਮ ਦੇਵਕਿ ਕੇ ਜਠਰੰਤਰ ਆਯੋ ॥ ਤਾਤ ਨ ਮਾਤ ਕਹੈ ਜਿਹ ਕੋ ਤਿਹ ਕਯੋਂ ਬਸੁਦੇਵਹਿ ਬਾਪੁ ਕਹਾਯੋ ॥੧੪॥
कयों कहु क्रिशन क्रिपानिध है किह काज ते ब्धक बाण लगायो ॥ अउर कुलीन उधारत जो किह ते अपनो कुल नासु करायो ॥
आदि अजोनि कहाइ कहो किम देवकि के जठरंतर आयो ॥ तात न मात कहै जिह को तिह कयों बसुदेवहि बापु कहायो ॥१४॥

Condemnation of Material worship:

Material worship or polytheism worshipping is condemned in Sikh scriptures.

So many winds, waters and fires; so many Krishnas and Shivas. (Page 7, Guru Nanak Dev) ਕੇਤੇ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਵੈਸੰਤਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕਾਨ ਮਹੇਸ ॥
केते पवण पाणी वैसंतर केते कान महेस ॥
Many miraculous Elysian trees, many Krishnas playing the flute. (Page 1236, Guru Arjan Dev) ਅਨਿਕ ਪਾਰਜਾਤ ਅਨਿਕ ਮੁਖਿ ਬੇਨ ॥
अनिक पारजात अनिक मुखि बेन ॥
He hath Created millions of Krishnas like worms. He Created them, annihilated them, again destroyed them, still again Created them. He is Unfathomable, Fearless, Primal, Non-dual and Indestructible. Yonder and Yonder is He, the supreme Lord, He is the Perfect Illuminator. 6.96. (Bachitar Natak, Guru Gobind Singh) ਕਿਤੇ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਸੇ ਕੀਟ ਕੋਟੈ ਉਪਾਏ ॥ ਉਸਾਰੇ ਗੜ੍ਹੇ ਫੇਰਿ ਮੇਟੇ ਬਨਾਏ ॥ ਅਗਾਧੇ ਅਭੈ ਆਦਿ ਅਦ੍ਵੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ॥ਪਰੇਅੰ ਪਰਾ ਪਰਮ ਪੂਰਨ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸੀ ॥੬॥੯੬॥ किते क्रिसन से कीट कोटै उपाए ॥ उसारे गड़्हे फेरि मेटे बनाए ॥ अगाधे अभै आदि अद्वै अबिनासी ॥ परेअं परा परम पूरन प्रकासी ॥६॥९६॥

ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਮੁਰਾਰਿ ਕੰਸੁ ਕਿਰਤਾਰਥੁ ਕੀਓ ॥
दुआपुरि क्रिसन मुरारि कंसु किरतारथु कीओ ॥
In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, You were Krishna; You killed Mur the demon, and saved Kans.


While in the Vedas the names Rama, Vishnu, and thousands of other names are understood as Devtas (lit. bright, shining ones) or Avatars of God, or maybe God himself but in Gurmat God is One, Undefinable and Formless. One of the early Sanskrit words or names, that Hindus worship as an aspect of God, has the same meaning in Panjabi and most of the other languages of India. The word Krishna means - dark or black.

In Gurbani, Mann (one's thoughts or mind) is considered Black, especially if someone does not listen to their inner soul.

In Gurbani, the Dark part of one's soul is referred to as Krishna (darkness), and the light part of one's soul is referred to as Rama, each person's soul has two parts KRISHNA and RAMA. The Positive is RAMA and the Negative is Krishna, but if these two are one then the next step is how does one get to god? First, we must work to rid our lives of negativity, living our lives positively, as our RAMA guides us from the inside.

Gurbani rejects the material philosophy of Worship in many ways, like:- ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਔ ਬਿਸਨ ਜਪੇ ਤੁਹਿ ਕੋਟਿਕ ਰਾਮ ਰਹੀਮ ਭਲੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਧਿਆਯੋ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਜਪਿਓ ਅਰੁ ਸੰਭੁ ਥਪਿਓ ਤਿਹ ਤੇ ਤੁਹਿ ਕੋ ਕਿਨਹੂੰ ਨ ਬਚਾਯੋ ॥……..ਤੋਹਿ ਬਚਾਇ ਸਕੈ ਕਹੁ ਕੈਸੇ ਕੈ ਆਪਨ ਘਾਵ ਬਚਾਇ ਨ ਐਹੈ ॥ਕੋਪ ਕਰਾਲ ਕੀ ਪਾਵਕ ਕੁੰਡ ਮੈ ਆਪ ਟੰਗਿਓ ਤਿਮ ਤੋਹਿ ਟੰਗੈਹੈ ॥

Thou hast meditated on millions of Krishnas, Vishnus, Ramas and Rahims. Thou hast recited the name of Brahma and established Shivalingam, even then none could save thee…….They cannot save themselves form the blow of death, how can they protect thee? They are all hanging in the blazing fire of anger, therefore they will cause thy hanging similarly. (pg111)

ਮੈ ਨ ਗਨੇਸ਼ਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮ ਮਨਾਊਂ ॥ ਕਿਸ਼ਨ ਬਿਸ਼ਨ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨਹ ਧਿਆਊਂ ॥ਕਾਨ ਸੁਨੇ ਪਹਿਚਾਨ ਨ ਤਿਨ ਸੋਂ ॥ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਮੋਰੀ ਪਗ ਇਨ ਸੋਂ ॥੪੩੪॥ (ਕ੍ਰਿ.ਵਤਾਰ)

I do not adore Ganesha in the beginning and also do not meditate on Krishna and Vishnu; I have only heard about them with my ears and I do not recognize them; my consciousness is absorbed at the feet of the Supreme Lord.434.

Gurbani Says:

ਕੇਤੇ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਵੈਸੰਤਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕਾਨ ਮਹੇਸ ॥

In the Tuk (line of Bani) below, Mann (a mind Tangled in Maya) gets blackened, as it travels through countless incarnations:

ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੀ ਇਸ੝ ਮਨ ਕਉ ਮਲ੝ ਲਾਗੀ ਕਾਲਾ ਹੋਆ ਸਿਆਹ੝ ॥
The filth of countless incarnations sticks to this mind; it has become pitch black.

Moreover, Mann which is tangled in Maya (Attentions) is also compared to a Crow (very black) or a Snake (often black) in Gurbani.

ਧਨਿ ਧੰਨਿ ਓ ਰਾਮ ਬੇਨ੝ ਬਾਜੈ ॥


O my Father, Lord of wealth, blessed are You, long-haired, dark-skinned, my darling. ||1||Pause||


ਕਰ ਧਰੇ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਬੈਕੁੰਠ ਤੇ ਆਏ ਗਜ ਹਸਤੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਉਧਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥ You hold the steel chakra in Your hand; You came down from Heaven and saved the life of the elephant.


ਦੁਹਸਾਸਨ ਕੀ ਸਭਾ ਦ੍ਰੋਪਤੀ ਅੰਬਰ ਲੇਤ ਉਬਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥੧॥ In the court of Duhsaasan, You saved the honor of Dropati, when her clothes were being removed. ||1||


ਗੋਤਮ ਨਾਰਿ ਅਹਲਿਆ ਤਾਰੀ ਪਾਵਨ ਕੇਤਕ ਤਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥ You saved Ahliyaa, the wife of Gautam; how many have You purified and carried across?


ਐਸਾ ਅਧਮੁ ਅਜਾਤਿ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਤਉ ਸਰਨਾਗਤਿ ਆਈਅਲੇ ॥੨॥੨॥ Such a lowly outcaste as Naam Dayv has come seeking Your Sanctuary. ||2||2|| (SGGS: 988)

Pondering over the above Shabad, wasn't it Krishna who saved the honor of Draupadi? Also, God is formless, and Chakra is related to Krishna.


ਨਿਰਾਹਾਰੀ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥ He is beyond the need of any sustenance, free of hate and all-pervading.

ਧਾਰਿ ਖੇਲੁ ਚਤੁਰਭੁਜੁ ਕਹਾਇਆ ॥ He has staged His play; He is called the four-armed Lord.

ਸਾਵਲ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਰੂਪ ਬਣਾਵਹਿ ਬੇਣੁ ਸੁਨਤ ਸਭ ਮੋਹੈਗਾ ॥੯॥ He assumed the beautiful form of the blue-skinned Krishna; hearing His flute, all are fascinated and enticed. ||9||

ਬਨਮਾਲਾ ਬਿਭੂਖਨ ਕਮਲ ਨੈਨ ॥ He is adorned with garlands of flowers, with lotus eyes.

ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕੁੰਡਲ ਮੁਕਟ ਬੈਨ ॥ His earrings, crown, and flute are so beautiful.

ਸੰਖ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਗਦਾ ਹੈ ਧਾਰੀ ਮਹਾ ਸਾਰਥੀ ਸਤਸੰਗਾ ॥੧੦॥ He carries the conch, the chakra, and the war club; He is the Great Charioteer, who stays with His Saints. ||10||

ਪੀਤ ਪੀਤੰਬਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਧਣੀ ॥ The Lord of yellow robes, the Master of the three worlds.

ਜਗੰਨਾਥੁ ਗੋਪਾਲੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਭਣੀ ॥ The Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the world; with my mouth, I chant His Name.

ਸਾਰਿੰਗਧਰ ਭਗਵਾਨ ਬੀਠੁਲਾ ਮੈ ਗਣਤ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਸਰਬੰਗਾ ॥੧੧॥ The Archer who draws the bow, the Beloved Lord God; I cannot count all His limbs. ||11|| ( SGGS: 1082)


ਸੰਖ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਮਾਲਾ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਬਿਰਾਜਿਤ ਦੇਖਿ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪੁ ਜਮੁ ਡਰਿਓ ॥ He is adorned with the conch, the chakra, the mala, and the ceremonial tilak mark on his forehead; gazing upon his radiant glory, the Messenger of Death is scared away. (SGGS: 1105)

Bal Leela

The Bal Leela (the 'play' of the God Krishna, while a small child) has very less or no relevance to Gurmat or Sikhs.

But remembering, the purpose of human life is forgotten by the Mind lost in Maya.

siv saktee ghar vaasaa paa-i-aa.

He came to dwell in the home of the Shiva and Shakti, energy and matter.

ayk visaaray taa pirh haaray anDhulai naam visaaraa hay. ||6||

But he forgot the One Lord, and he has lost the game.
The blind person forgets the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||6||

ਬਾਲਕ੝ ਮਰੈ ਬਾਲਕ ਕੀ ਲੀਲਾ ॥

The child dies in his childish games.

ਕਹਿ ਕਹਿ ਰੋਵਹਿ ਬਾਲ੝ ਰੰਗੀਲਾ ॥ They cry and mourn, saying that he was such a playful child.

ਜਿਸ ਕਾ ਸਾ ਸੋ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਲੀਆ ਭੂਲਾ ਰੋਵਣਹਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੭॥

The Lord who owns him has taken him back.
Those who weep and mourn are mistaken. ||7||


Mann (Mind) is like Child, which remains tangled in worldly attachments. When the lord snatches a young child or an aged person who lives his life seeking the worldly pleasures of a child, their parents, friends, and relatives, cry and mourn for the sake of Maya, but one who understands himself, does not cry or mourn for when he meets the True Guru, then he understands.

When one forgets Bal Leela and starts living his life in accordance with God's Hukam one has entered the stage of Ram Leela or Raj Leela.

ਰਾਜ ਲੀਲਾ ਤੇਰੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਬਨਾਈ ॥
The pleasures of royalty are derived from Your Name = Hukam.

ਜੋਗ੝ ਬਨਿਆ ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀਰਤਨ੝ ਗਾਈ ॥੧॥
I attain Yoga, singing the Kirtan of Your Praises. ||1||

The above is the stage of Bal Leela to Raj Leela.
