I wanted to tell the story of Gajendra. Placed in context where I mention the other elephants, this story was a logical choice. Then I was faced with the question of eliminating parts of it, or not. Some would say the story is too long to read. Others would come down on me for chopping it up. Right, who am I do that? So I included the entire thing. Parts of the Srimad Bhagavatam are long and tedious to read. I also wrote, Krishna and the Art of Bicycle Maintenance to introduce the Vedas to people who have never been aware of them. The greatest challenge is to make religion interesting. Every ounce of effort I had went into achieving this as I wrote the entire book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
