Krishna is is perhaps the most loved of the avataras of Lord Vishnu. The stories of Krishna are oft told, the narratives of his childhood delightful, as they deal with his acts of mischief and naughtiness. His evil uncle Kamsa haunts his childhood as he seeks to kill Krishna.
In his later years, Krishna is at the heart of the Mahabharata war, at the start of which he delivers the Gitopadesa, revealing his Vishvarupa to Arjuna the Pandava.
The tales of Krishna are many and one never tires of a retelling.
This volume tells you the story of Krishna's life from his birth to his passing, threading all the anecdotal stories that you have hitherto heard or read, in what makes for a complete narrative.
This book is a retelling of Lord Krishna's life from the Bhagavata Purana and folk narratives. The story of the ever-beloved Krishna has been told in linear fashion, as his complete life story. This story is for everyone-young and old-and is meant to kindle an interest in the understanding of Krishna's life as a god, as a human avatara and, most importantly, as an entity who resonates within every individual.
Krishna is the one avatara of Vishnu who lived the human life with zest and passion. Krishna was a toddler, a child, a teen and an adult. In each of these phases of life, Krishna was one of us, yet showed us a higher self, revealing to us what godhead could be.
The inhabitants (vasi) of Vrindavana, including the gopas (cowherd boys) and gopis (cowherd girls) were characterized by their simplicity and pure love for Krishna
