Brahman is made of seven gods (Manu Smriti 1.19).
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stability
5. Shiva - god of determination
6. Shani - god of status alteration
7. Yama - god of compulsion
Vishnu is the preserver and opposes chaotic changes in life. He keeps life between an upper and a lower limit. Between these two limits, there would be wave like changes in life.
VISHNU AND KRISHNA:
Krishna is symbolic of the lower limit of Vishnu. Thus, Krishna symbolizes our positive attitude.
Thus,
Krishna is a part of Vishnu, who in turn is a part of Brahman.
However, according to Bhagavadgita Krishna is the supreme and only Hindu god and thus of the same status as Brahman.

Indra (god of dreaming) - Saguna Brahman (Isometric contraction) towards feet2. Shakti (god of illusion) - towards knees3. Brahma (god of creativity) - hip4. Vishnu (god of stabilization) -abdomen5. Shiva (god of determination) - Chest6. Shani (god of status alteration) - Neck and shoulders7.
