Hey Michael!

Did other gods in Hindu mythology leave instructions? Or was it just Krishna? I know that you get instructions from deities in the astral world, but are there more instructions in Hindu Lit? If so, would you give a commentary on them or are Krishna's instructions the most relevant?

There are 18 Principal Puranas which are said to be divided into 6 categories, glorifying various deities such as Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma.

There are some smaller texts called Upapuranas or small Puranas.

There is also the Ramayana of Valmiki and the Mahabharata of Krishna Dvaipayana vyass.

There is also a Devi Purana which is dedicated to Devi, Lord Shiva’s spouse.

Each of these has instructions given by particular deities. In fact some of these have their own Gitas and also displays of universal forms of the particular deity being addressed.

To me they are but others who are attracted to other deities would consider the instructions of those persons to be paramount.

Would I comment on the statements of the other deities?

First of all there are many of these deities in the Hindu Pantheon. Secondly I would only comment if I am inspired to do so.

If you have an interest, then you may search for the list of Puranas online. Then get them one by one, read them and see which deities you are attracted to.
