In a letter written on behalf of the beloved Guardian to an
individual believer there appears the following statement:
"The nine religions to which you have referred include both the Bábi and Baha'i Dispensations, Baha'u'llah being the Ninth Prophet in the series. The other Prophets included are Zoroaster, Krishna, Moses, the Christ, Muhammad, Buddha, the Prophet of the Sabeans whose name is unrecorded, the Báb and Baha'u'llah."
"The nine religions to which you have referred include both the Bábi and Baha'i Dispensations, Baha'u'llah being the Ninth Prophet in the series. The other Prophets included are Zoroaster, Krishna, Moses, the Christ, Muhammad, Buddha, the Prophet of the Sabeans whose name is unrecorded, the Báb and Baha'u'llah."
It can, therefore, be confidently stated that the teachings of the Faith name Krishna as a Manifestation of God. In light, however, of the other statements of the Guardian, in which he stresses the paucity of our information about the beginnings of Hinduism, we should be cautious not to assert the historical accuracy of specific stories related about Krishna. A similar case where allegorical statements and legends surround the figure of a known Manifestation of God is that of Adam. (From a letter dated 15 September 1983 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)
