Aurthur give us very detail & subtle insight into life of lord krishna, which reveal the unknown ( for me) facet of his personality. Yudhdheshwer Krishna, Geeta & Krishna Vishad yog are my favorite articles.

Unbelievable! Original thoughts redefined in different way, because he is the only god whom can be renewed and accepted with other forms with wheel of time without changing anything. The book helped me understand that why even in human form "Krishna" must be worshipped other than our old, repeated, rotten form of bhakti...The ideal form of God in human body can only be the 1. Must/buy/gift/keep/understand/act/accept it. Hates of to Jay Vasavda and Painter Bipin Soni.
Read Krishna in his actual form, now what our pseudo dharmik Indian society made him. Completely different views on Krishna which are far more generation old and way more liberal and ahead of time. Jay Vasavda has mastered the art of turning the God into a normal human being with extraordinary powers.
Very well written! This is my 1st read of Jay Vasawada and I am not disappointed. I enjoyed reading it. I loved it how he has penned different shades of Krishna with many facts. There is just so much in Indian mythology that sometimes I wonder how one can cover every aspect of it!! But it’s fun to read about Krishna.
