Description: 31 pagesISBN: 9789350496480Subject(s): Mythology | Indian epicDDC classification: 82-343 Summary: Krishn is the most popular of all the Indian deities. He is Vishnu or Narayan descended on the earth, to destroy evil and uphold good. We behold him right from the night he is born, as a baby, as a toddler, as a teenager, as a young man— right up to the stage when jara or old age claims him. We see him in all possible relationships: son, brother, cousin, friend, foe, lover, husband, warrior, statesman, counsellor, and the supreme power in his Vishvaroop or universal manifestation. In all these forms, he performs his leela or playful acts. Sometimes we understand why he does them while sometimes we don't.
