Book Reviews of Blue God: A Life of Krishna
Book Review: Duality of Lord Krishna - Human and Divine
Summary: 5 Stars
Ramesh Menon's Blue God brings out the human in the divine and the divine in the human. He draws a narrative portrait of the role of the divine in human form and in human affairs. What emerges is a truly warm and intimate depiction of the human side of Krishna, set against the background of the Mahabharata, the story of an internecine war pitting good against evil. The story of the life of Krishna is told with intensity and humour.A wonderfully delightful rendering of the life of Krishna, well researched and faithful to the original epic sources. Krishna is presented as a man for all seasons and a god for all reasons.
Summary of Blue God: A Life of Krishna
Blue God opens on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where the Pandava warrior, Arjuna, suffers a crisis of courage. His charioteer, Krishna, expounds the eternal dharma for him. This exposition between two armies is the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindus Bible.BLUE GOD cuts back to Krishnas birth, and back again to the battlefield, and so on, chapter by chapter, until both narratives flow together near the books end. Never before have Krishnas sacred Gita and his colorful personality and life been put together in the same book, certainly not in English by a modern novelist for a modern audience.Historical Books
