'Lord Rama' & 'Lord Krishna' are one & the same being

In Hindu religion, "Lord Rama" is a Hindu God & people worship Him as the divine incarnation of the Supreme God, "Lord Vishnu". It is said that "Lord Rama" was born at the time of Demon King Ravana, when due to Ravana's evil rule, religious practices were on the decline. So to deliver the mankind at that time from evil forces, "Lord Vishnu", who lives on the higher planet in His transcendental form, descended on earth. It is said that Lord Vishnu descended on the earth in the form of "Lord Rama" in "Treta Yuga" or "Treta Millennium".

Also as per the Hindu religion, "Lord Krishna" is a Hindu God & people worship Him as the divine incarnation of the Supreme God, Lord Vishnu. It is said that "Lord Krishna" was born at the time of King Kansa, when due to Kansa's evil rule, religious practices were on the decline. So to deliver the mankind at that time from evil forces, "Lord Vishnu", again descended on the earth. It is said that Lord Vishnu descended on the earth in the form of "Lord Krishna" in "Dwapra Yuga" or "Dwapra Millennium".

The above two paragraphs clearly tell us that Supreme God, "Lord Vishnu" descends on the earth to deliver the mankind from time to time. In "Treta Yuga" or "Treta Millennium" He took the form of "Lord Rama" & in "Dwapra Yuga" or "Dwapra Millennium" He took the form of "Lord Krishna". As it is Supreme God, "Lord Vishnu" who descends on the earth from time to time, so both "Lord Rama" & "Lord Krishna" are the forms of Supreme God, "Lord Vishnu" only & hence are one & the same being. As per the Hindu scriptures "Lord Vishnu" shall again descend on the earth in "Kali Yuga" or "Kali Millennium" as "Lord Kalki". Below verses of Bhagwat Gita also establish the above said facts.

Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 6:

"ajo ’pi sann avyayatma
bhutanam isvaro ’pi san
prakritim svam adhisthaya
sambhavamy atma-mayaya" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 6)

"Sri Krishna says to Arjuna: Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all living entities, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form."

Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 7:

"yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 7)

"Sri Krishna says to Arjuna: Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O Arjuna, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself."

Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 8:

"paritranaya sadhunam
vinasaya cha duskritam
dharma-samsthapanarthaya
sambhavami yuge yuge" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 8)

"Sri Krishna says to Arjuna: To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium."

Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Ten verse 31:

"pavanah pavatam asmi
ramah shastra-bhrtam aham
jhasanam makaras chasmi
srotasam asmi jahnavi" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Ten verse 31)

"Sri Krishna says to Arjuna: Of purifiers I am the wind, of the wielders of weapons I am Rama, of fishes I am the shark, and of flowing rivers I am the Ganges."

In this "Chapter Ten-Verse 31", "Lord Krishna" himself is clearly saying that "of the wielders of weapons, He himself is Lord Rama." So this verse also clearly establishes that "Lord Rama" & "Lord Krishna" are the forms of Supreme God, "Lord Vishnu" only & hence are one & the same being.
