I Am Krishna by Deep Trivedi- The Book is written after 5- years research on various Hindu Scriptures who details has been narrated in the introduction of the Book. Shatpath Brahmin narrates that Shri Krishna is from Vrishni Vansha. Harivansh Puran written by Ugrashrawa contains details of life of Shri Krishna. Author is a psychologist. He has written that he has analysed the reasons following which certain act was done or not done by Shri Krishna. Chapter 1- The book has been narrated in first person. Shri Krishna has written that in his earlier life he expired at the age of 40. In this life, he found others responsible for his luck. He did not analyse that he also committed mistakes. Therefore, he planned that in this life, he will improve on his mistakes and struggle for better life for himself and for the society. His uncle Kansa, King of Mathura was informed that his sister Devaki’s eighth son will kill Kansa. Therefore, he places four guards on their palace and watches them as house arrested persons. When the first son is born, his fahter Vasudev gives the child to King Kansa who kills the child. People of Mathura complain to Rishi Narad ttgat Kansa is an autocrat and loots his loyal city dwellers. Narad appears before Kansa in his palace and informs that death is on his head and he should fear for his life. Kansa is satisfied with the character of Vasudev; therefore, he informs Vasudev that he is no more under arrest, he can travel out of city also. Narad has an intention that the misdeeds of Kansa should increase so much that his end should come soon. Therefore, Narad visits him again while he is standing near a road. He shows him a moving bullock cart. He shows him the wheel and asks him which the first fork and which is the eighth fork in the wheel. Kansa understands that any child can be the 8th child. He asks Vasudev to bring his 3- children whom he kills. In the coming years, he kills three more children of Vasudev. Kansa has a jail under his palace where he has arrested his father Ugrasen and Vasudev- Devaki. In order to save the 8th child, two of his ministers Gargacharya and Anart plan to help Vasudev. Vasudev visits Gokul and meets his friend Nand Gop. Vasudev’s other 13- wives including Rohini are also living in Gokul for safety. He requests that in order to save his 8th child from Kansa, Nand Gop should exchange his son with his child which is about to be born. Nand Gop agrees. He shifts to a house near the bank of river Yamuna. Gargacharya and Anart prepare a bamboo covered plank in which the 8th child can be carried across Yamuna river by Vasudev. It is mid-night and rains are pouring. When the 8th child Is born, prison gatekeepers open the gates, Vasudev takes the 8th child, a son, in the bamboo covered plank, swims the Yamuna exchanges Nand Gop’s daughter with his son and swims back with the changed child which is a daughter of Nand Gop. After reaching the prison safely, the gatekeepers inform Kansa who comes and kills the 8th child. Chapter 2- My Childhood- Nand Gop was an elderly person. Therefore, his new born daughter was weak. The 8th child was no more. Kansa released his sister Devaki and Vasudev from prison and begged pardon from them for his mis-deeds. Devaki was in and out prison during these years, she needed rest. Vasudev visited Gokul, saw the 8th child and returned back to Mathura. Vasudev was a rich landlord and Nand Gop was his servant. But, as family of Vasudev was living in Gokul in the protection of Nand Gop, the two behaved as friends. Gokul was a small village under Mathura. Vasudev was in-charge of deposit of taxes at Mathura and Nand Gop looked after collection of taxes from Gokul. Nand Gop had visited with his family to deposit taxes and we were returning back by bullock cart. Mathura to Gokul Is a two day journey.Gokul is a typical village- mud roads just enough broad that a bullock cart may crawl. Cows moving and grazing. Women in coloured dresses moving fast to complete the daily chores. Common feature about the houses is that cows are tied in the verandah or open space and trees in front of the house. There is a swing hanging there. Nand Gop’s house is large and coloured. It has as open space, a large hall for meeting people, four rooms for family. Rohini carrying Balram greets them. Gops have come to know that a son is born to Nand, therefore, village elders visit to greet him. Birds are chirping all around. Two swings were hanged, one for Shri Krishna and other for Balram. That day passed Goss stressed on Nand to celebrate by organising a function. Initially, Nand disagreed but later assented. Both Yashoda and Rohini were well dressed and active. Festival was held in the evening and continued to late in night. On the same day, one more function was organised by Kansa at Mathura in which Nand was also invited but Nand did not attend because of family function. Balram is two years elder to Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna’s feature are charming and for the whole days Gopis are around these children. Vasudev used to send jewels and clothes for us from Mathura. Balram was naughty while Shri Krishna was playful. Their names were Balram and Krishna was addressed lovingly with several names -Kanha/shyam/shyam sunder respectively. Milk was provided to both children by their mother’s. With age, Krishna liked curd and butter more. Balram was naughty while Krishna was playful. With passage of time the children started struggling to walk, then they started walking on their own. After a few years, Rohini gave birth to a daughter named Subadra. The exchange of children between Vasudev and Nand was performed while Yashoda and Devaki both had fainted due to pain of childbirth. Thus, Devaki thought that her 8th child was dead while Yashoda thought that she had given birth of Krishna. Kansa doubted why Nand did not attend his function at the palace. He invited Nand and questioned him. Kansa thought that might be Nand’s son is the 8th son of Devaki. He ordered Nand that a servant named Trinavarta is being provided to him to help in his work. Trinavart was able to imitate birds. Nand doubted the integrity of Trinavart. Therefore, he had asked the Gops to keep an eye on his activities. Trinavart imitation, birds would arrive and eat corn and play in the courtyard with Krishna. One day when Nand had gone out for work, Trinavart took Krishna to play with birds on the banks of Yamuna river. Trinavart found liquor, drank and fainted. A snake came and Krishna started playing with the snake, some Gops saw this incident. They came and killed the fainted Trinavart and broght Krishna back to the house. Now, Krishna spent more time with Gopis and could eat butter and curd. As butter was an item which was for sale at Mathura, Gopis did not like my eating out their butter without their consent. They complained to Yashoda. Yashoda scolded me. Gopis were unhappy. They wanted to pet me. Kansa was on the lookout for another killer. He found that a lady named Antara who had lost two infant children. She had lost cool of her mind. Kansa called her, named her Putna and told her about his scheme to kill Krishna. On the night of Sharad Purnima a dance and get-together function were organised by Nand. She came and started dancing. She was dressed in glittering clothes. She was the attention of all. Putna was tired. She came to the room where Krishna was asleep. She locked the room from inside. Putna look a strong poison and put on her breasts. She picked up Krishna, who kicked her when woken up. In this struggle, Putna’s hand touched her lips. The poison was so strong that Putna died immediately. Soon, Nand Yashoda and gops broke open the door and took me in their arms. Kansa did not take Putna’s death lightly. He called Vasudev and enquired why he was not visiting Gokul? Vasudev visited Gokul and asked Nand to tighten security of Krishna. Vasudev wanted action while Nand trusted in natural justice. Krishna gave butter to monkeys also. Chapter 3- Terror of a wolf- Shatak was a racer. Kansa called and ordered him to visit Gokul on Hindola festival while Gops are returning back from Govardhan and bring Krishna to him. Shatak was a strong athlete. While the group of Gops with their children were returned back to Gokul from Govardhan, attempted to catch Krishna but he could not grasp Krishna. The gops caught him and killed him. In Gokul about 50 gop families lived. Kansa gave them cows and buffalos from the palace. Gops reared them, provided milk products to the palace as and sold the remaining milk products in Mathura market. Gops had a tough hard-working life. As Balram and Krishna grew up, they started playing with gop children of their age.Krishna found the life of Gops full of difficulties. He encouraged young gop children to help their parents. They started helping in planting fruit and other trees in Gokul. He was a leader of children. The reason was that greenery was diminishing and gops had to take their cows and buffalos to Govardhan area for grazing. Still the grass was insufficient. Nand called a meeting and they decided to shift to Vrindavan. Young men helped and it took 8 days to shift to Vrindavan. Chapter 4- Vrindavan- First day the young men and women collected fruits for all. In Vrindavan, construction of houses and roads was the responsibility. Gopis considered Krishna as a child. Now was the opportunity to prove his matte. It was proposed that first a flat land should be chosen and three large halls to be constructed on priority. Then, roads and separate houses could be constructed. Devaki and Vasudev visited them at Vrindavan. This was the first time that Krishna met his mother Devaki. Kansa met his father- In -law, Jarasandh King of Magadh. Kansa and his two wives informed the incidents about Gokul and his attempts to kill Krishna had failed. Jarasandh analysed the situation. He said that as the gops live in a close group. If any outsider attacks them, they jointly kill him. Kansa should forget about the foretelling of Saint Narada. Krishna and his friends worked during the day and danced in the evening. The festival of Rang colour sprinkling was celebrated at the palace of Vrishbhanu. His wife Kirti Kumari welcomed all. His daughter Radha made Krishna sit on her lap and sprinkled colour on him. As Vrindavan was green grassland, therefore, gops were able to graze their animals and still saved time to play games. During games, one hefty boy picked up Krishna and ran. Balram caught him and killed him. Kirtan mandali lead by Acharya Shrutiketu visited Vrindavan while returning back from Mathura. They performed and all gops gopis attended and danced at the bhajans. Krishna participated. Acharya Shrutiketu said that he wants to train Krishna in singing. Krishna was introduced to Literature, music, art, dance, and use of musical instruments. He was taught to use the flute and concentrate on his performance. One stage performance was organised which proved successful. Acharya taught Krishna the use of mace, sword, revolving disc and other arms. Both brothers Balram and Krishna learned wrestling. This enhanced their confidence. Acharya informed that in Mathura city, there are large halls, broad roads, gardens, markets. Krishna wished to visit Mathura. Chapter 5- Meeting with Radha- A large stork attacked Krishna. Krishna caught the bird and Balram killed her. There was a water body in Vrindavan where peopis could bather and wash clothes. Krishna visited this place and picked up the clothes of gopis. He sat on a kadamb tree and played the flute. Gopis understood the situation. One gopi came out partly from the pond and requested Krishna to throw their clothes. Krishna obeyed. He knew that she is Radha. Yashoda scolded me. Gopis were unhappy. They wanted to pet me. Kansa was on the lookout for another killer. He found that a lady named Antara who had lost two infant children. She had lost cool of her mind. Kansa called her, named her Putna and told her about his scheme to kill Krishna. On the night of Sharad Purnima, a dance and get-together function were organised by Nand.

A very detailed description of Krishna's life as narrated by him.

[Rohit Nagpal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fascinated by the enigmatic figure of Krishna and eager to go deeper into his multifaceted life, this book offers a compelling narrative. As a central character shaping the last 5000 years, Krishna's life carries diplomacy, and profound spirituality. This book captures his struggles, aspirations, and pivotal role during a crucial era in Hinduism.

Having previously explored Osho's perspective in "The Krishna," I found this book to be a refreshing complement. It presents a distinct viewpoint on Krishna's journey, enriching his life and the diverse interpretations surrounding it. Readers who have immersed themselves in works like "Geeta: My Version" by Devdutt Patnayak will find this book to be valuable supplementary material, offering further insights into Krishna's teachings and their relevance in contemporary times.

[PRANAV PRASAD]

Currently I feel it is very exciting book to read and see a perspective by the author on Krishna's brain even though I don't agree with many of his takes.

Intresting

The book is very gross and the author surely had a hidden agenda to malign the history of Hinduism and the most beloved deity of this religion. Let me give you some examples in this regard:
1. Krishna was a looser in his previous birth and suddenly at the last moment of his life he became so strong mentally that he became divine in his next birth.
2. Krishna and Radha had physical relationship? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard about Krishna. In which Purana or any other literature this was given author is silent in this regard.
3. Krishan and other Gops had “group sex” with Gopis during the Raasleela? Again, author is silent about the source of this ‘incident’.
4. Instead of looking confident Krishna seemed just a “spoiled brat” who just wanted to do the things he wanted to do without having any care for anyone. His thoughts reek of arrogance rather confidence and politeness, he had no respect towards anyone whosoever comes in his way.
5. Krishna than attracted toward Kubja or Malini when he reached Mathura and later on, he inclined towards Rukmani. So, at any given place he needs a woman or more to give him sensual pleasures. Again, no reference of any Purana or other religious text from where this information is gathered.
The author just used some references from Puranas and other Hindu religious literature and created a whole different persona of Krishna which is not more than a debaucher and womaniser.
If this author belongs to any other religion, he would not only be accused of blasphemy but surely get a decree or Fatwa in his name. But here, innocent people are praising the author and he is minting the money by doing such horrific deeds. Really, some people have no level of decency and they can stoop to any level.

Hi

This book was really such a good description of the life of Shri Krishna.....His childhood emotions, memorable moments, love, bravery and opinions are all represented from his own point of view, which made the book so interesting and enjoyable....It also leaves such a deep impact on anyone who reads it........ My favourite part of the book was the mention of Subhadra from the very beginning of Krishna's life in Gokul and Vrindavan....In the stories that we read or were narrated to us(or atleast for me), Subhadra was not mentioned at all until her marriage with Arjun. So I was really happy to see her mention and Krishna spending some time with her.....The detailed explanation of Krishna and Balram's education in Guru Sandipani's ashram was just amazing...All the short stories I read about Lord Krishna in my childhood and the character origins were connected in a sequence here in the story......

I really hope everyone reads this book...And remember, not all authors are capable of writing Vedic history so well, by being unbiased toward characters and giving a first person POV to the main character.

This is the best mythological book, presented in a manner that i feel Krishna is himself telling his story. unable to put the book down, in such a captivating way its presented story of krishna.

Completed 80% of the book, couldn't resist without writing review of the book. highly recommended to know about krishna, best inspiration book in other words. No self help book can compete with this book. Such detailed accounts of someone's life can only be written after extensive research.

Many thanks to #DeepTrivedi for writing such a wonderful and inspiring book. the book is beyond religion. Its about WAY OF LIVING.

It's a story I would assume a lot of people know with all it's extraordinary features that make Lord Krishna a special being by birth. The book changes the narrative to explain how the a person's will, ability to take action and love make them become extraordinary. I love the more human explanation to the events of the life of the Lord Krishna. The journey of the boy Kanhaiya to Lord Krishna is detailed with life lessons with each event. The book brings the lord down to earth and sit next to like a friend or perhaps a sibling.

Written by the master of human psychology by Deep Trivedi. His writing style is so unique that engage you with the book. This book is one more masterpiece which gives you deep insight into Lord Krishna life....how he made his life and gradually you can learn the art of living life what Krishna had lived. When you read this book you would feel that there is two-way dialogue process between you and the book.

Waiting for the second part so eagerly.

Wonderful narration of Krishna and his perspective as autobiography. Gujarati version is little contaminated with few modern words/phrases but overall good book to read.

Krishna’s thoughts at going first time in mathura seems repeated in narration after Krishna killed kansh. Still I’ve skipped only 2 pages. Should read if you have time and want to feel Krishna’s perspective.

A nice way of explaining krishna's mind and soul. Waiting for the next book.

[Parminder Sharma · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very unique and different perspective of Lord Krishna's life.

Factually there could be few contradictions, but overall a mesmerising experience of reading the book.
