Hinduism and Buddhists are both "Brahmanic" religions. They both hold that there is an pantheon which is itself composed of God. All physical matter is an expression of God, and the passing of time is a living revelation. The initiate does his best to unite his mind with God in the Hindu religion. Krishna is not commonly worshipped to Buddhists, although there are Tantric texts where Krshna is mentioned (I can try to reference these if you'd like). Krishna is what we call an "avatar" of Vishnu (I believe). Essentially this means that Krshna is a human-like manifestation of God; one might compare him to Christ because of his capability of revealing the true nature of "the father." Each major deity in Hinduism has many, many avatars.

It's important for the new student to really wrestle with krshna to understand what it is he represents. I can delve into this more, as it will be of great interest to any reader on this board (many of whom I assume will disagree with me as I fall into obscurity trying to explain this bizarre immortal).
