Who Created Krishna?

Question: Who Created Krishna?

Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am Dipesh, 10 years old. I wake up every day at 4am and chant the mahamantra mantra 16 rounds before going to school at 7am. I read the Bhagavad-gita. I go to the ISKCON temple every Sunday. I take prasadam and follow the rules ISKCON for making spiritual advancement. I heard that Krishna is the creator of the creator. For example, if someone creates something, then Krishna is the one who created that thing because He created that person. But who created Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead? Your Servant, Dipesh

Answer: Krishna

Since Krishna is the original creator, He has no creator other than Himself. This is why it can be said that Krishna is the creator of Krishna. He is known as the Cause of all Causes. Everyone else requires a creator to exist, but Krishna exists without being created by anyone else. He exists simply because He desires to exist. Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Hare Krishna!!!

I found the apt answer to my question and would like to share it with you.

the difficulty we are facing here is that we are trying to understand Krsna with our tiny framework of mind. we try to understand the lord with our tiny window. so because we have a beginning and an end (we here means body, not the soul), we try to impose the same question onto Krsna. but by chanting and hearing, we move from the conception of body to conception of soul. once we move to the conception of soul, which itself has no beginning nor end, we automatically ignore the qeustion of who created Krsna. we have a misconception that at some point of time, god created us. no. the god has been eternally existing and we are eternally existing. But we are parts and parcels of the lord and thus are called as created by the lord.

But however because we are extremely rebellious souls, we are given other answers like the ones in the question I asked. they are not wrong, but until we try to cultivate faith in the irreproachable position of the lord, we cannot accept this process. if i were to ask how did the lord lift the govardan hill on his pinky or why and on whom is lord narayana meditating when he himself is the supreme lord? the answers to these questions cannot be understood by our tiny brains. it is like a student of 6th asking a doubt on how the formula for area of a circle came. he can understand that only when he learns calculus which comes in 12th. for now his most important decision is to accept what his teacher says and wait till he gets into 12th where he is taught the source for calculating the area of the circle.

I would like to thank my friend who has given me this answer and I hope tthe answer will help you as much as it has helped me.

Hare Krishna Prabhujis!!!

Srila Prabhupada says that, we see so many vareities of life on this earth and certainly they cannot come from nothing(void). We have never seen a computer or car spring up from nothing. There was an intelligent design behind the device. Similarily, all this creation has Krishna's intelligence behind it and He is the creator.
I want to go one step further and ask who created Krishna? How did He come into being?
The answer to this I received from many people is that - " If someone else created Krishna, then He is god, not Krishna. God existed before everything and He is the oldest person. He has neither aadi or antha."
But, when we are asked to be Intelligent and ask how everything has come into being and what is our purpose, shouldn't we also ask what has created Krishna too?
I hope you could understand what is the dificulty I am facing. Please help me understand and solve this doubt.
