Who is the real God in the scriptures?

Sometimes a few questions change a person. Questions that shake science, philosophy, spirituality. Today we face one of those questions. Krishna and Mahavishnu, who is the real supreme God? Is there only one universe or countless? Is God one or do His infinite powers work in different forms? This question has been puzzling not only devotees but sages, scientists, philosophers for thousands of years. There is another one, Krishna, whom people call the incarnation of love. In whose smile the secret of the universe is hidden. In whose flute there is the music of endless ages. And on the other side is Maha Vishnu in whose one breath the universe is born and in the next breath it dissolves. So who’s bigger? Who is the original, who is the real ultimate truth. Let’s begin this mystery. The Vedas say Ekam Sad Vipra Bahudha Vadanti Truth is one. But those who know see it in many forms. That sentence is the key to this whole journey. Because to understand the universe one must first understand that God is one entity. But its expression can take many forms. Like the same water sometimes becomes a river. Sometimes it becomes a cloud, sometimes it becomes ice, but the basic element is the same. The same applies to divine forms. Nirguna Brahman is that which is energy, formless, without limits. Saguna Brahman is that which takes form so that we can understand and feel it. Mahavishnu is the gigantic form of Sagun Brahma and Krishna is the closest, dearest and sweetest form of that Sagun Brahma. Both are not different but their objectives are different. We cannot even imagine how vast the word Mahavishnu is. It is written in the Puranas that he is lying in the infinite void. Where there is no time, no direction, no limits. One of his breaths is considered equivalent to approximately 14 billion years. When they exhale, countless universes emerge from their pores. Yes, every countless universe has its own, its own rules, its own world, its own gods and its own cycle. Science is talking about multiverse today. Our Aarshis said this thousands of years ago. So the question arises, if Mahavishnu is so great, can anyone be greater than him? This story becomes even more mysterious. Bhagavatam says Krishna you are the bhagavan svayam meaning Krishna is the original form of God himself. Many people hear this and wonder how? Whereas Krishna came to earth in human form. Whereas Vishnu is the Virat form. This is the turning point where the layers of spiritual understanding begin to unfold. Krishna’s form is not Virat but Purna. His power is hidden. His identification is simple. His actions are effortless. But there is an infinite power hidden within them. The Mahabharata and the Bhagavata both say when Krishna was on earth. On many occasions, the four-armed form of Vishnu appeared from within him. The question arises that if Vishnu emerges from within Krishna then who is the original? Krishna himself says mat para taram na kinchidasti Dhananjaya no one is above me. This is not a general statement. This is the declaration of the Gita. Vedanta says there are three levels. One Brahman, Energy, Infinite, without form, Two Paramatmas, Omnipresent Consciousness, Three Gods, Personality, Leela, Beauty, Mahavishnu is the level of expansion of consciousness. The level of Krishna is the root of consciousness. Just as the hot sphere of the sun is the origin and the light emanating from it is the expansion. Vishnu is light. Krishna is the original sun. This does not mean that Vishnu is less. No, but the understanding that power is one. But its original core appears in a different format. And then when we start to understand deeply things like who is Vishnu. Another question arises: where does he live? Because the story does not end here. Actually this is where the story begins. Many traditions say that Vishnu lives in the Kshir Sagar. A calm, endless, divine ocean where even time seems to move slowly. Where there is no sound in the waves, only peace. But hearing this brings a slight pang to my heart. Does he really live there? Is he locked away in some distant place or is the truth hidden somewhere else? Aashi What the sages said is even more amazing. According to them Vishnu lives inside and not anywhere outside. In every living being, in every breath, in every heartbeat. When the heart is afraid, when the mind is broken, when a person is directionless, then a soft voice comes from within. Everything will be fine. The same voice, the same confidence, the same peace. Many Hindu texts describe the form of Vishnu. But hearing all this, another question arises. If Vishnu is everywhere then what is the matter of Ksheer Sagar ? This is a symbol. Ksheer Sagar means a pure mind, a calm mind where thoughts are as clear as milk. Where the inner turmoil reduces and understanding increases. And Sheshnag is also not something external. He is our support, the stability on which our life depends and Vishnu is the energy that maintains this stability. So it’s not all a story about outer space. This is a journey within us. A journey that every person has to take at some point or the other. And now a new question arises from here. If Vishnu protects. If he takes care of the world, when does he finally come? How do they appear? And why does he have a different incarnation in every era ?
