The Bhagavad Gita: dharma and atman

   Krishna is considered an omniscient, omnipotent deity, or so "he" claims in the Bhagavad Gita, which is supposed to be a conversation between an ordinary human being, Arjuna, and Krishna.  For a comparison between Krisha and other Hindu philosophical ideals or gods there is much discussion to be found in the Bhagavad Gita.  For more depth of discussion the Upanishads are more helpful, to this student anyway.
