In the words of Swami Krishnananda:

''A great Saint and Sage is also a soldier, as Lord Krishna was. 

No Sannyasin can equal Lord Krishna in renunciation. 

No soldier can stand before him. 

No householder can equal him. 

No Yogi can compete with him. 

He is a true Hindu. 

He brought together all the forces of India and gave us 'Bharat'. 

The first great integrator of Indian forces was Krishna. 

Do you call him a householder? Do you call him a Sannyasin? Do you call him a warrior? What do you call him? The Almighty was working through Him. Is the Almighty a Sannyasin? Is God a householder? What do you call him? 

Such impersonal force incarnated itself through this personality of Krishna and won victory everywhere. His mere presence was a power, people would bow down to him everywhere. 

Beauty, grandeur, majesty, power, wisdom; everything was combined in Krishna.''
