For the world Krishna is God. For Sainis he is also their ancestor... Most Famous Saini For some he is revered because for them he is the incarnation of God. For Sainis he is a revered one simply because he is their ancestor. No other reasoning is required to honour him. Undoubtedly, Sri Krishan Ji Maharaj, grandson of Maharaja Shoorsen, was the most famous Saini the world has known or will ever know.
