Infobox Fields

Infobox Fields 'birth' and 'death' should be changed to 'avatar_birth' and 'avatar_end' respectively, considering Krishna is worshipped in dual forms—as a Supreme God residing in Goloka, and as an human avatar of his Supreme self or Vishnu depending upon the sect. Therefore, it is much more appropriate to use the suggested fields for his human birth. I did it but was asked for an consensus. .245CMR.•^👥📜 16:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Devki's brother name is wrong with the article

his name is Kans 2402:8100:26B1:DE2:D09B:1BF1:BD6E:19D6 (talk) 17:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It may be written as "Kans" in Indian language(s), but the sanskrit word is spelled "Kaṃsa". Asteramellus (talk) 20:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

ISCKON should be corrected to ISKCON 203.221.17.46 (talk) 13:08, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed; thank you for pointing this out. Certes (talk) 13:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

This page's name should be changed to Krishna (in Hinduism), as a general overview page of Krishna, named Krishna-Vasudeva or historic Krishna is already there. Cuddlemebaby (talk) 19:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
