Description
This second volume of Krishna in the Harivamsha presents a detailed analysis of Krishna's biography, focusing on the well-known episodes from his childhood and adulthood. The text includes writings from 2000 to 2015, with many of the articles exploring more recent perspectives on Krishna’s life than those found in Volume I. The book contends that the child and adult Krishnas are intrinsically the same, offering an analysis of important episodes such as Krishna’s initiation by Guru Kashya Sandipani, the construction of Dvaraka, and the heroic deeds of Pradyumna and Aniruddha.
The focus is on the Harivamsha’s version of these well-known stories, which has often been overlooked despite its early composition. The author challenges the assumption that the Harivamsha is a fragmented and disjointed collection of primitive myths. Instead, this volume presents the text as a carefully crafted narrative that conveys a clear and cohesive message.
This scholarly work provides a fresh and insightful interpretation of the Harivamsha, revealing its complexities and coherence, offering readers a deeper understanding of Krishna's mythological journey.
