This particular book emphasizes the human skills and talents of Lord Krishna as a ruler, politician, soldier, and so on rather than his oft praised divine qualities. Dear Aikya ~ I googled Bharatiya's full name and came up with only sites about schools and study courses, and none of them had anything about Krishna. I also checked all my best book websites: Amazon.com, Half.com books. Xlibris, BookFinder, and Alibris. Would another book about Krisna do? When I did a search just under the name of Krishna on Amazon.com, I came up with quite a few that looked good, but none by the author you mentioned. Here are some of the titles and info. "Dance of Divine Love ~ India's Classic Love Story: The Rasa Lila of Krishna by Graham M. Schweig Here is the weblink: _http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0691114463/qid=1131894047/sr=1-4/\ ref=sr_1_4/002-8806666-2803214?v=glance&s=books_ (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0691114463/qid=1131894047/sr=1-4/\ ref= sr_1_4/002-8806666-2803214?v=glance&s=books) "The Play of God: Visions of the Life of Krishna" by Vanamali Brief synopsis: "Just as the call of Krisna's heavenly flute is irresistibly attactive, so this boook will enchant and uplift its readers. Never before has the complete life of Krishna been told in a way that is so engaging and understandable, yet so faithful to the ancient epics of India. Spiritual seekers of all traditions will find inspiration and revitalized faith in these pages. "The Play of God" presents Krishna, the playful and enchantingly beautiful Deity who embodies the hightes truths of Indians spiritual wisdom. Readers will find here powerful visions of God as child, playmate, friend, and teacher..." The author is a contemporary Hindu comtemplative and teacher, lives in a small ashram in Rishekesh...her writing conveys the universal wisdom of the Himalayan sages. Weblink: _http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1884997074/ref=sib_rdr_bc/002-8806666-2803214?%\ 5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S0C4&j=0#reader-page_ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1884997074/ref=sib_rdr_bc/002-8806666-2803214?_\ encoding=UTF8&p=S0C4&j=0# reader-page) Another: "Journey Through the Twelve Forests: An Encounter with Krishna" by David L. Haberman I believe the first was hardback, and the other two were available in paper. There were many others ~ 442 hits or so. If you go to Amazon.com and go to books and to Advanced Search, and then just type in Krishna in the "subject" line, it will bring up all these books. Of course you have to skip past the ones from the Hari Krisha Organization and about them, but there were many books that looked very interesting, including these three.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Please see http://www.bhavanus.com/store.htm for Bharatiya Viyda Bhavan's US book distribution website. "Bhavans" is a very well known book publication and distribution company in India which has brought out many outstanding books, including fine texts for children's education, in English. As some may have found with other areas of exploration, a good children's book is also outstanding for adult beginners. Anyone out there is the Amma universe who is not familiar with this publisher, I can enthusiastically encourage you to explore their offerings.

Dear Aikya ~ I finally figured out that Bharatiya Viyda Bhavan is not a person, but a distribution company. LOL When the question first came up on the list, I kept looking under the name as if this were a person. No wonder I couldn't find anything. Glad you were able to provide this.
