Experreinchal knowledge is way Krishna appears as a living imbodyed being, as the materealy conditioned mind "requires" a physically-tangible form in order to focus it's attentions upon. Therefore, it is for our sake that he appears Once in every kali Uga in His Supermost exalent physical form. Basically, to become physical for the sake of the/our physical affliction of mental limitation. He became Physical & that's how physical bodies are grown!
What kind of question is that? Krishna said to Arjuna that He even as a physical being He could still remember all the many many lives both He & Arjuna had lived. So. . just because He takes the truble to assume a physical form that, that doesn't mean He suffers materal/ physical limitations as we do! He remans externally-all-knowing, and always extaticaly devinly situated. & provided for us mortals someOne i.e.
a person place and thing to focus our mind's attention upon. This seems so self explanatory to me. Jaya jaya Sri Sri Jagannatha
Who said god has no birth ? God has birth, but god doesn't have birth like conditioned souls have. Conditioned souls are forced to take birth by material nature, whereas Krsna chooses to appear from where ever he wishes, could be from a pillar, could be from nose of Brahma, could from womb of Kausalya.
Lord Sri Krsna Himself says about his appearance in BG (4.9)
janma karma ca me divyam
Krsna's appearance and activities are transcendental for devotees and bewildering for non-devotees
why do krishna needs navel ?
Krsna doesn't need navel, Krsna doesn't need anything, not even eyes, nose etc. But Krsna has these because these are aspects of His complete personality.
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth, substantiality and is thus full of the most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses in Himself, the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane. ( Brahma samhita 5.32)
For a conditioned soul eyes are needed to see. But Sri Krsna can eat with eyes, see with his ears. Every limb of Krsna can perform any or all functions. But that doesn't mean when mother Yashoda gives him food Krsna puts food in his nose. Krsna puts food in his mouth only. Krsna doesn't need anything, yet he possesses everything.
A conditioned mind contaminated with impersonalism can never grasp this.
Please ask your friend - why not? WHy GOd cant have navel? How does that limit His status as God. The difference between Krsna and us is - angani yasya sakalendriya vrittimanti - each anga of Krsna can do the function of every other anga. That means He can see with His ears, impregnate with His glance. Normal person will have navel from which umbilical chord was coming, to connect to mother. Krsna has navel to connect to Brahma for creation.
Why do we limit God? He cannot have this or that, He cannot do this or that...then He is not God na, then we are God.
This is in addition to what Bhanu prabhuji has mentioned.
