Viewed mostly as one of the avatars of the god, VIshnu, Krishna fulfills the role of the divine human in Hinduism. Like Christ, Krishna embodies a number of archetypes such as the god-child, lover, hero and trickster. Typical of the divine-human Krishna is identified as a god become human, accessible and sent to enter history to save. He is the object of devotion for many Hindus as God who has walked among us.
