The doctrins of anthropomorphism or that of zoomorphism are never to be applied to Sri Krishna the Personality of Godhead. The theory that a man becomes God by dint of penance and austerities is very much rampant nowadays specially in India. Since Lord Rama, Lord Krishna or Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu were detected by the sages and saints as the Personaltty of Godhead in terms of the directions given in the revealed scriptures, many unscrupulous men have created their own concocted incarnations in so many ways. Specially in Bengal this practice of creating an incarnation of God has become an ordinary business. Any popular personality with little traits of mystic powers creating some feats of jugglery will easily cause to become an incarnation of Godhead by popular votes. Lord Sri Krishna was not that type of incarnation but He was actually the Personality of Godhead from the very beginning of His appearance. He appeared before His so-called mother as four handed Vishnu and then at the request of the mother He became like a human child and at once left the place for another devotee at Gokul where He was accepted as the son of Nanda Maharaja and Jasoda Mata. Similarily Sre Valadeva the counter part of Lord Sri Krishna also was considered as human child born of another wife of Sri Vasudeva. In the Bhagwat Geeta it is said by the Lord that His birth and deeds are transcendental and any body who may be fortunate enough to know the transcendental nature of His birth and deeds will at once become a liberated soul eligible to go back to the kingdom of God. So to know the transcendental nature of birth and deeds of Lord Krishna is sufficient for one's becoming eligible for liberation and what to speak of knowing in further details. In the Bhagwat such transcendental nature of the Lord is described in nine cantos and in the tenth canto His specific pastimes have been taken up. We shall gradually know all these facts with the progress of reading the transcendental literature. But on the whole Lord exhibited His Divinity even from the lap of His mother. His deeds are all super human and the most wonderful act was done by Him by lifting the Hill of Goverdhan at the age of six years only. All these acts of the Lord definitely proved Him to be actually the Supreme Personality of Godhead but yet by His mystic covering He was always accepted as an ordinary human child by His so-called father and mother and other relatives. Whenever some herculean task was done by Him the father and the mother took it otherwise and they remained satisfied with the unflinching filial love for their son. As such the sages of Naimisharanya describes him as ''apparently a human being'' but actually He was the Supreme Almighty Personality of Godhead. | The doctrins of anthropomorphism or that of zoomorphism are never to be applied to Sri Krishna the Personality of Godhead.

PURPORT
The doctrins of anthropomorphism or that of zoomorphism are never to be applied to Sri Krishna the Personality of Godhead. The theory that a man becomes God by dint of penance and austerities is very much rampant nowadays specially in India. Since Lord Rama, Lord Krishna or Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu were detected by the sages and saints as the Personaltty of Godhead in terms of the directions given in the revealed scriptures, many unscrupulous men have created their own concocted incarnations in so many ways. Specially in Bengal this practice of creating an incarnation of God has become an ordinary business. Any popular personality with little traits of mystic powers creating some feats of jugglery will easily cause to become an incarnation of Godhead by popular votes. Lord Sri Krishna was not that type of incarnation but He was actually the Personality of Godhead from the very beginning of His appearance. He appeared before His so-called mother as four handed Vishnu and then at the request of the mother He became like a human child and at once left the place for another devotee at Gokul where He was accepted as the son of Nanda Maharaja and Jasoda Mata. Similarily Sre Valadeva the counter part of Lord Sri Krishna also was considered as human child born of another wife of Sri Vasudeva. In the Bhagwat Geeta it is said by the Lord that His birth and deeds are transcendental and any body who may be fortunate enough to know the transcendental nature of His birth and deeds will at once become a liberated soul eligible to go back to the kingdom of God. So to know the transcendental nature of birth and deeds of Lord Krishna is sufficient for one's becoming eligible for liberation and what to speak of knowing in further details. In the Bhagwat such transcendental nature of the Lord is described in nine cantos and in the tenth canto His specific pastimes have been taken up. We shall gradually know all these facts with the progress of reading the transcendental literature. But on the whole Lord exhibited His Divinity even from the lap of His mother. His deeds are all super human and the most wonderful act was done by Him by lifting the Hill of Goverdhan at the age of six years only. All these acts of the Lord definitely proved Him to be actually the Supreme Personality of Godhead but yet by His mystic covering He was always accepted as an ordinary human child by His so-called father and mother and other relatives. Whenever some herculean task was done by Him the father and the mother took it otherwise and they remained satisfied with the unflinching filial love for their son. As such the sages of Naimisharanya describes him as apparently a human being but actually He was the Supreme Almighty Personality of Godhead.
