HOW DO THEY DO IT? CONTROVERSIES IN HINDU HISTORY
M.M.Ninan
Krishna (Kṛṣṇa), who, according to one tradition, was a son
of Vāsudeva. The worshipers of Vāsudeva, or Krishna,
formed one of the earliest theistic devotional movements
within Hinduism. When they merged with other groups,
namely the Bhāgavata, they represented the beginnings of
modern Vaiṣṇavism, or worship of Lord Vishnu. A
significant 2nd-century-bc inscription at Besnagar, near
Vidisha (Bhīlsa), Madhya Pradesh, refers to a column
topped by a figure of Garuḍa (the emblem or mount of Lord
Vishnu), erected in honour of Vāsudeva by the Indo-Greek
ambassador Heliodorus, who termed himself a
“Bhāgavata.” Though, in the earliest parts of the great
Indian epic the Mahābhārata, the divinity of Krishna
appears to be still open to doubt, by the time of the writing
of the Bhagavadgītā (1st–2nd century AD), Vāsudeva-
Krishna was clearly identified with the Vedic god Vishnu”
Britanica Encyclopedia.
Evidently this identification of Krishna with Vishnu and by
partinomic sense with Vasudeva, after the fact Krishna was
called Vasudeva are attempts to identify Krishna with
Vishnu and then to Vasudeva. Justification: The surname
of Krishna is Vasudeva.
