Krishna - Life and Song of the Blue God

This book is a magical,unexpurgated life of Krishna,told in a spirit of bhakti for modern reader. Krishna:Life and Song of the Blue God,opens on the battlefield of Kurukshetra,on the brink of war,when the Pandava Warrior Arjuna suffers a crisis of courage and conscience.His divine cousin and charioteer,the Blue God,begins to expound the eternal dharma to him.The exposition between two teeming armies is the Bhagavad-Gita,the Song of God. The story quickly shifts back to Krishna s birth, and then again to the battle field;and so on,from song to life,chapter by chapter,until finally both narratives flow together near the end,just before the Great War erupts.Never before have Krishna s holy Gita(from the Mahabharata) and his brilliant,unforgettable life(from the Bhagavata Purana) been juxtaposed so vividly and with such an enchatment as this book.
