Book Synopsis Krishna: the Beautiful Legend of God by : Edwin F. Bryant

Download or read book Krishna: the Beautiful Legend of God written by Edwin F. Bryant and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Purana is one of the two most important and popular Hindu texts, the other being the Ramayana. It is part of the popular tradition, rather than a literary classic like the Upanishads or the Gita. It tells the story of the god Krishna, the supreme godhead of the Hindus and worshipped by them for over two and a half millennia. The most popular stories about him occur in this, the 10th book, which is the climax of the epic. The stories relate to Krishna's childhood and adolescence in the forests of Vrindavan among the herdspeople, delightful tales which lie behind much of Hindu art, appearing in painting, temple sculpture, drama, dance and song.
