Two krishna?

Hare Krishna,

Is there any proof in scriptures for Krishna (in vrindavan) is different from Vasudev Krishna (in dwarika). I believe that both are One person. He is the supreme personality of Godhead and He can do anything without being disturbed whether it be a War or Raaslila or anything . Sometimes especially while preaching Bhagvad Gita, we take them as same person but while preaching about His pastimes in Viridavan we consider them different. Why is it so?

    If you read the commentaries  of Vishwanatha Chakravarti on Bhagavatam you will see that there are three Krsnas (or manifestations in Krsna). The manifestation in Dwaraka (called Dwarakadish Krsna) is perfect. The manifestion in Mathura is more perfect. And the manifestation of Krsna in Vraja is most perfect. That is why Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakur writes aradhyo bhagavan, vrajesh tanayaha tad dham vrndavanam (Worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the son of Nanda in His abode of Vrndavana). The confidential reason for this, is that Krsna has 64 sweet qualities which only manifest fully in His form as Vrndavana Krsna. These are  lila-madhuri (sweet pastimes), prema-madhuri (sweet love), venu-madhuri (sweetness of His flute) and rupa-madhuri (sweetness of His form). That is why there is this distinction between Vrndavana Krsna and Dwarika/Mathura Krsna. 

    Hope this helped

  • Krishna is special like that & that is a nother way we know Hi's position is' as TheHeafGod. Mallory for the question all glory for the answers. Krishna is everywhere and because He is also infinitely powerful & intelligent. he is everything?
  • Separatists on madyama level see differences where ever they look, but those who have seen real truth see same Lord  everywhere.

    Sri Krishna had more then 16000 wives and He multiplied Himself more then 16000 times to satisfy each wife,

     even bhagavan Narada devarishi was astonished, but not confused because he is uttama adhikari.

    Anyway, Lord never left Vrindhavan, because He is locked in the heart of every living entity in Vraja.

    Considering all that we can conclude that Lord can be on many places at the same time, but because of different rasa and places  people usually think its different Krishna.:)
