Krishna: The Beautiful Legend Of God: (Srimad Bhagavata Purana Book X)

Book Summary


"Krishna: The Beautiful Legend of God" contains the tenth and most significant book in the popular Indian epic "Srimad Bhagavata Purana," which is the principal source for the story of Krishna, worshipped by many Hindus as the Supreme Being. Devoted to Krishnaas miraculous incarnation, this collection of sacred tales recounts his childhood and adolescence in the forests of Vrindavan: playing with his friends, dallying amorously with cowherd maidens, and stealing butter to feed the monkeys. Krishna emerges from these episodes as an immediately engaging figure, and the stories have inspired generations of artists, musicians, poets, sculptors, and dramatists. They also contain valuable insights into Hindu views on such matters as creation, cosmography, and the history of the subcontinent.
