Sri Krishna ki Jivani

This book presents a short life of Sri Krishna compiled from authentic sources. The author of the Bhagavat states that other incarnations were mere artistic expressions or parts of the Divine, but Krishna Himself is the Lord, for His character appears complete from every perspective. In this age of busyness, for those who do not have the leisure to study scriptures, we are primarily publishing this brief biography of the 'Purna Avatar'. We have long been publishing brief biographies of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Maa Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda, and this new publication is another addition to that series. The presentation primarily draws from the Mahabharata, Vishnu Purana, Srimad Bhagavata, and 'Sri Krishna: Pastoral and King-maker' written in English by Swami Ramakrishnananda. Many misleading notions are prevalent among the public regarding Sri Krishna's Vrindavan pastimes; therefore, a compilation of Swami Vivekananda's thoughts on this subject has been added as an appendix in this booklet. Even today, when the world is troubled by the intense conflict of diverse and conflicting ideas, the radiant life of Sri Krishna, the great unifier, appears quite relevant. With the hope that this brief biography will assist you in understanding Sri Krishna's divine character, we are placing it in your hands.
