Krishna : Lord of Love

Krishna: Lord of Love follows the youthful Krishna through his many adventures, from dancing on the head of the serpent demon Kaliya to sheltering cowherd villagers. These stories are the basis of a great mystical tradition that stretches back to antiquity, and they reveal a Krishna that, though supremely powerful, is carefree, charming, and full of love. Despite being a deity, he shares some of the most basic of all human qualities and lives in a way that's familiar to modern readers and spiritual seekers, and these tales of his divine life bring insight into the apparent contradiction between the lives of the gods and those of humans. As told by scholar extraordinaire James H. Bae, these delightful tales are at once amusing, inspiring, and enlightening. Published in a handsome miniature format, and accompanied by beautiful full-color art, the book is an inspired gift or traveling companion.
