Dear God,

Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?

Ethel,

Krishna is kind like me, in his larger manifestation. In the Baghavad Gita, Krishna explained to Arjuna, the heroic archer,

“Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin or opulences, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and sages. He who knows Me as the unborn, as the beginningless, as the Supreme Lord of all the worlds—he only, undeluded among men, is freed from all sins. Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, happiness and distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy—all these various qualities of living beings are created by Me alone.”

That kind of sounds like me, doesn’t it?

Both Krishna and I are the only sources of the world, and we are both supreme lord. Also, he likes to be honored with gramatically incorrect capitalization. With me, I like the “Hims” capitalized. With Krishna, it’s the “Me” and “My”. Different gods, different strokes.

I ought to get together with Krishna and have a beer. I bet we’d have lots to talk about.

- God
