Dressed in a beautiful yellow attire, with a bright shining face (with a glow of thousand suns combined together), a flute, and a peacock's feather on his head, he's certainly the most attractive face of all times. He is Krishna (the all attractive). His love for butter was known throughout the Gokul, Dwarka, Vrindavan and Mathura, as he played in the streets during the Dwapar Yuga (~5000-7500 Years ago). And today, the same is known throughout the world. He's always engaged in bliss.
He had been termed as Swayam Bhagawan (Self-God), because he is lord Vishnu himself, with an increase in his Kalas (Traits). He used to do plays with Gopis, take care of cows (unlike lord Vishnu) etc. But at times, when situation called for seriousness, he held the Sudarshana Chakra on his finger, to end the evils like Sishupal.
As the Asuras increased during the Dwapar Yuga, Krsna was born as an eight avatar of Vishnu, to Devaki and Vasudev, in Gokul. He's dark in complexion, and in the womb of Devaki was present as a black hair, along with a white hair, who grew to be Balarama (Big brother of Krsna, and an avatar of Sesh Naag of Vishnu). Hence he is also known as Shyam-Sundar. The hair in her womb was transferred into the womb of Rohini (Other wife of Vasudev), to ensure the safety of two children, as their evil Uncle krsna was adamant on killing all the children of her sister Devaki. After the birth of Krsna, he was carried away by Vasudev to his brother Nanda baba. It's a furious storm that night. He's taken up on a wooden bucket, and a sesha naag (Snake with many heads) saved the child from rain. Krsna was finally in dwarka. Yashoda played her mother and took all the care of her child. He's no ordinary child. He killed a number of Asuras that time. Once the evil Pootna came to breast-fed krsna, as ordered to her by Kansa. Her milk contained poison. She changed her form into a beautiful lady, and came to Krishna. But lord sucked the life out of that evil witch. He killed many other Asuras like Bakasur, Aghasur, etc, as well.
In the Vrindavan, he met the love of his life, Radha. Radha was extremely beautiful girl, and a part of Krishna himself. Even when apart, they used to commute in their minds. Such was their love. While young, they used to tease each other, and were always in quest of pulling each other's legs. The beautiful tales of Krishna, farming for Pearls, or the make of Radha and Krishna Kund, traces back to the divine leelas of our Prabhu at Vrindavan. As lord grew up, he came back to Mathura to kill his evil uncle Kansa, and lead the path of righteousness. In the battle field, Krishna killed his Uncle, making the prophecy come true. He freed his mother devaki and father Vasudev from the prison, and bought their six children back to life.
As this young and charming prince grew up in all his beauty, he killed Narkasur, thereby giving his sixteen thousand wives, his divine abode. He flee away with Rukmani, agitating evil Sishupal. The Sishupal was later killed by lord with his eternal disc, Sudarshan Chakra. He later played an indispensable role in the Mahabharata, playing charioteer to the Pandava prince Arjuna. The Arjuna was distressed on the thought, that he had to fight his own people in the battle. He saw no point in winning the war that way, nor did he find any religious righteousness in it. Seeing this distress of Arjuna, Lord gave him the divine song (Gita), terminating all his doubts. The Lord presented the way of attaining oneness with him. He ordered Arjuna to stand up to fight, as the body is subjected to death, but not the soul. One is not the doer, but Lord. One shouldn't attach with the results of Karma, but rather focus on it as a means of pleasing the Supreme.
In the holy presence of Va'sudev, Pandavas won the battle of Mahabharata, against the big army of Kauravas, which contained heroic men like Bhishma Pitamah, Guru Dronacharya and Kripacharya, Danveer Karna, etc.
Thus, Lord Krishna reposed Dharma and made the planet devoid of all the evil forces. Great is our Lord, our Thakur Ji Maharaj Shri Krishna.
