Saguna

(“with qualities”) Anything having distinguishing qualities. In the context of
ideas about divinity it refers to particular deities with particular attributes. In
the religious traditions based on the
ideas of the Upanishads, the speculative
texts that are the final texts in the Vedas,
any manifestation of a deity with qualities is seen as ultimately inferior to the
unqualified (nirguna) Brahman. This
assumption is adamantly opposed by
certain theistic traditions, such as the
Gaudiya Vaishnava religious community,
which insists that the highest deity, in
this case Krishna, has a particular form
(and thus certain qualities).
