I want to start by thanking Shrey Mehta for sending such awesome the very moment I requested to review them.
I also thank Jaico Publishers for being a very vital part of our blog. Without them, this blog would've been only half full.
Krishna had always been a object of fascination for me.
Blurb (from the jacket):
Krishna's life, his beauty and his virtue are the basis of a great mystical tradition that stretches back to antiquity. Though supremely powerful, he is carefree, full of love and charm. At the same time, he shares some of our most basic human qualities and lives in ways familiar to us. The tales of his divine life inspire insight into the apparent contradiction between human and spiritual love.
These enchanting stories follow the youthful Krishna through his many pastimes. From dancing on the head of the serpent-demon Kaliya to sheltering the cowherd villagers from Indra's wrathful rain, Krishna, Lord of Love speaks about life, love and devotion in a most intriguing way.
My take on the book:
Of all the Gods, Krishna's tales are most familiar to me. There are so many making round. I guess, his are the most famous tales.
Krishna carries this strange kind of fascination about him. Everyone gets drawn to him. His mischief. His butter-thief image. His hobby of playing flute. His infinite strength. His innumerable capabilities. All, everything about him is fascinating. Perhaps, his teaching in Gita. And various others are the reasons for his international followship through the organisation, ISKCON.
Though I already heard of almost all the tales in this book, it was pretty intriguing to read them in so brilliant words.
