Hi!
I wonder how the loving being known as Krishna did in order to succeed so impressingly in ascending to a position/status that high?
His story and history looks highly fascinating and inspiring to me, since he represents like no other (super-)god love and power, justice and indeed so many more qualities like fun all at once. <3
He is the one I truely look up to most nowadays.
Does someone know some informative web links or books in his regard?
Thank you!

These paintings of "the butter thief" are great!!
Iskcon is a cult and since, A. C. Bhaktivedanta passed in 1977, has split into several different groups, some which may be "dangerous". Their farm community in rural West Virginia, "New Vrindaban" was back in the 1980s and 1990s involved in drug running and in child molestation. Try to find your own direct connection with "Krishna Consciousness" within, instead of relying on any outer organization/group. It is my understanding that Krishna, like Jesus/Yeshua is one of the "Kumaras" from the Venus chain. Sanat Kumara (Planetary logos, though soon to be solar logos?) and Sananda Kumara (Jesus/Yeshua) are 2 of the 7 kumaras with Krishna being one of the remaining 5 kumaras; I believe, Sanatana Kumara.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. The Hare Krishna artist I worked for in Atlanta (Jadurani Devi Dasi) was tring to have the governing body removed from New Vrindaban at the time you speak of, and these pedophiles and criminals responded by trying to literally strip her nude in public, and having her clothing flown on a flagpole as a warning to others. She was a good friend of of the deceased A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prahpupad (I hoped I spelled that correctly), and she didn't like what was going on with "the guru business" in general for the Hare Krishna movement at that time.
You need to read The Bhagavad Gita As it Is @ www.vedabase.com
ISKCON is a good source for information about Krishna, but be careful. Yoko Ono wasn't impressed with that organization, and neither was I after catching a few glaring errors (i.e. their astrologers insisted on the Earth as the center of the solar system (with no 23 degree tilt). Also, an ISKCON vegetarian cookbook used the name of Irving Fisher as a famous nutritionist who was educated in the Ivy League, and I think they were either erroneous with their information or lying due to the name of Irving Fisher as a famous economist (who was educated from Yale, and lost a fortune with the Great Depression of the 1930's. His picture is painted on the walls in the Federal Reserve building of San Francisco among other "great" economists)).
