Krishna has been a part of our lives for millennia, through idols in temples,
by being invoked in classical dance and music, representations in painting and
sculpture, and in the names given to every other child born in India. Even today,
telling tales of Krishna’s childhood and reading of the Shrimadbhagavatam is a
ritual in many families.
Krishnaleela and Other Tales from Shrimadbhagavatam is a modern retelling of these
stories in English, making them accessible to readers in India and abroad. These
tales, starting with the birth of Krishna and continuing through all his exploits,
have as much appeal and relevance today, because of the richness of the descriptions
of the nature, the flora and fauna of the region, as well as the portrayal of human
nature with all its nobility and virtuousness, its failures and foibles.
The text is accompanied by brilliant photographs of paintings from Kangra,
Nathdwara, Basohli, as well as sculptures from ancient temples and from modernday
Moradabad.
