New Delhi: Shri Krishna is considered to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is a symbol of compassion and love who appeared as a warrior, hero, teacher and philosopher in great texts like Mahabharata and Purana. Sri Krishna is the main character of the Hindu text Bhagavad Gita, in which he explains the essence of life, telling about religion, karma and truth. They are worshiped by many forms and names, so their caste also made a lot of things and debate.
Lord Krishna was generally understood to be of the Yadav dynasty which is a Kshatriya varna. He was born in Mathura. Vasudev and Devaki were his parents, but they were brought up at the house of Nandbaba and Yashoda, so that they could be saved from the evil king Kansa. Controversy arose in Mathura last year when it was written outside the shops and houses that Shri Krishna was Jat. Actually, there are different perceptions about Shri Krishna’s caste, which people have been using according to their convenience. However, the interpretation of veteran actor Nitish Bhardwaj on Shri Krishna’s caste is quite interesting, who became popular by playing his role in BR Chopra’s ‘Mahabharata’.

I am a Brahmin, because I am searching for Brahma. If I am doing business, I am a Vaishya. I am not in the army, but if I am fighting against untruth in the society, then I am a Kshatriya.

If Venuvadan is done, there is art, artists. Dancing, then they are artists. Through the Gita called Param Yogeshwar, there are Brahmins.
