born...only to be killed soon after. My uncle, Kansa had already murdered my
seven siblings, but incredibly, I, the reason behind him committing these
murders, remained unscathed. Well, I had escaped death by a whisker, but I had
to pay the price by being separated from my mother, Devaki. Of course, I had
found a new mother in the form of Yashoda in whose company I had travelled from
Mathura to Gokula. But the question is, would heading to Gokula save me from
the looming shadow of death-Kansa
'Krishna'
is a name synonymous with victory and flamboyance, yet he has always been an
enigma. The diverse facets of his personality make it difficult, or rather
impossible, for anyone to grasp his personality in its entirety. Yet, the love
showered on Krishna and the manner in which he is revered is nothing short of
phenomenal. Such is the uniqueness of his personality that for some, he is a
lover, while for others he is a savant; some believe him to be an ascetic while
others perceive him as a Karmaveer or a man of heroic deeds. Interestingly,
whichever aspect of his personality one chooses to recognise or believe in, one
cannot help but be smitten by it; although it is not that everyone is equally
enchanted by him, after all, he also had - and still has - his share of
detractors. His personality has such a paradoxical effect on people that on one
hand, some learned followers of the Hindu religion have hailed him as the only
complete-avatar", and on the other, the authors of Jain scriptures, as per
their own understanding, reasons and perceptions, have relegated him to hell!
But Krishna's personality is not contingent on any of these views. Who thinks
what does not matter in the least to Krishna or his personality. Although
Krishna's personality does not depend on others' perceptions about him, in
light of these contradictions, it is imperative to understand what exactly his
personality was. It is also essential to know how he rose to become the King of
Dwarka despite being born in a dungeon and having grown up in the shadow of
death. Besides, there are several other questions that invariably pique one's
curiosity about Krishna. It would also be interesting to know what kind of love
he and Radha shared. Why did he leave Radha? Why did she roam the streets of
Brij for the rest of her life like a woman madly consumed by her love for
Krishna, who never returned? At the same time, it is important to decipher the
mystery of this awe-inspiring personality, who, on one hand, has been accused
of triggering an epic war like the Mahabharata, and on the other, has earned
the distinction of being the supremely wise one who imparted words of supreme
wisdom, which we know as the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna is such a multi-dimensional
personality that there has never been a dearth of names he has been addressed
with such as thief, manipulator, liar and trickster, and at the same time, a
colossal number of people view him as Vasudeva, Madhusudan, Kanha, a supreme
being and a supremely wise man! The numerous other questions which invariably
make people curious about Krishna are: How many times did he marry? How many
children did he have? What exactly is Yadavasthali? This book contains the
answers to all these questions. I have penned this work only after a long and
thorough study of all the available scriptures related to Krishna such as
Harivamsa Purana, Vishnu Purana, Shiva Purana, Shrimadbhagvat Purana, Markandey
Purana, Kurma Purana, Bhavishya Purana and Mahabharata, among other historical
texts, and after grasping the practical and psychological aspects of all the
dialogues and incidents mentioned therein. I have condensed the 108 years of
Krishna's life and all its significant events into this book, endeavouring to
keep this account close to the true psychology of Krishna, and needless to say.
I have given it the form of a story to make it an interesting read. I have
tried to make the events in Krishna's life come alive for the readers, by
elaborating upon the incidents as much as possible, keeping in mind the
requirements of modern literature. 1 am a psychologist and a strong adherent of
spiritual psychodynamics and if viewed from a psychological perspective,
whether it is an individual or his life, or any kind of incident occurring in
his life, eventually, everything is a part of a psychological sequence. And
Krishna's personality, in spite of its great aspects and complexities, is no
exception to this. Even though psychologically, he has reached the greatest of
heights, his state of mind is certainly not beyond comprehension. And I believe
that the causes behind the event are far more significant than the event
itself. Rather than knowing what a person has done, it is more important to
know the reasons why he has done it. Therefore, in this book, I have given
equal importance to Krishna's life as well as his state of mind. I am sure,
this book will not only shed light on Krishna's life, but will also acquaint
you with Krishna's personality and his evolution. As far as I am concerned, the
Bhagavad Gita has transformed my life and taken it to new heights; in fact,
Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita are firmly rooted in my heart in their true
essence. But in a departure from common belief, I am of the firm opinion that
hailing someone as God creates a distance between him and us. Pronouncing
someone as God incarnate is a grave insult to the effort that he has put in to
nurture and enhance his potential, his wisdom, his capabilities and his spirit
of enquiry. Because the truth is, all those who have accomplished great feats
in this world have done it on the strength of their intelligence, capabilities
and sheer hard work. It is very convenient to state that Krishna became great
because he was destined to. Possibly, it may give you an excuse to conceal your
inability to attain greatness. But in truth, by linking the greatness of an
individual to his destiny, we insult his skills and hard work. That is the
reason, in this book, I have attempted to shed light and elaborate upon all the
virtues of Krishna, beginning from his phenomenal grasping power.
