Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Krishna is considered an incarnation of the god Vishnu by many Hindus. The main stories about Krishna's life can be found in the first half of the Srimad Bhagavad Purana and the lengthy Indian epic Mahabharata. Because these two documents are filled with complex detail, Vanamali has provided a useful book that gives in summary form the events of Krishna's life and their spiritual message. Western readers would characterize these stories as legends or myth; Vanamali's presentation of the spiritual message behind each story makes the book interesting reading. He uses a chronological approach to Krishna's birth and childhood, followed by stories of his youth, his adulthood, and the "death" of the one who is deathless. The book also contains a helpful list of characters in alphabetical order and a glossary of religious terms. Highly recommended as a fresh and readable presentation, in English, of the life and meaning of Krishna.
