Title: What is the name of the book on Krishna
Post by: Karas on November 07, 2011, 16:53:16
I'm trying to find a link or book that has Krishna's life while on earth. Is it in one of the Vedas? Iv read the Gita and it doesn't really go into his life as a child etc

"The principal scriptures discussing Krishna's story are the Mahabharata, the Harivamsa, the Bhagavata Purana and the Vishnu Purana"

Thank you ^^
iv been looking into Hinduism and it's very intresting. So far I watched a movie based on Rama and I watched a 3D animation of little Krishna which is fun to watch.

When I went to college (years ago- many many) the restricted section of the library had beautiful illuminated copies of many Hindu sacred books.  I remember looking at amazing plates of Krisha playing as a child- what beautiful art.  Thanks for bringing that memory back to me.
