Welcome to the group! In this group we believe that Krishna was both a historical person and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krishna's divinity is a matter of personal faith, but Archaeology has proven that the Mahabharata and the Kurukshetra war actually happened, and Krishna played a major role. It has also been proven that the existence of the "Krishna religion" is from a very early period BC. Quote: "There is now a general consensus of opinion in favor of the historicity of Krishna." - R. C. Majumdar in "The History and Culture of the Indian People". Another famous quote: "The findings in Dwaraka and archaeological evidence found are compatible with the Mahabharata tradition and removes the lingering doubt about the historicity of the Mahabharata. We would say that Krishna definitely existed.” - Dr. S. R. Rao
This Group, Historical Proof of Krishna, provides proof that Krishna was an actual historical person who existed in ancient India. By cross-correlating historical facts, we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Krishna was worshiped in a strongly monotheistic way as Supreme Being or God in parts of India by at least 600 BC, and probably much earlier than that. The Krishna religion is actually a monotheistic tradition within the Vedic or Hindu culture. We hope that you will find this group interesting, informational, and helpful. Hopefully you will come to know that there is something special about Krishna.
This group has photos and articles about 25 solid Archaeological findings which provide proof concerning Krishna. These 25 Archaeological proofs have existed BC or early 1st Century AD - before the Christian Era, which proves that the Krishna religion predates Christianity, and didn't copy from it as some historians have wrongly suggested.

The ancient Greeks documented their contact with ancient India, and wrote about India's religions. Historians like Megasthenes mention Krishna, his tribe, and ancient cities connected to him. The Heliodorus’s Column made by a Greek Devotee of Krishna, and coins of Agathocles, an Indo-Greek king, with images of Krishna and Balarama, are excellent 2nd Century BC proof of Krishna. Because of the ancient Greek invasion of India, very important evidence about the ancient worship of Lord Krishna has been preserved.
