Synopsis
In the West Krishna is primarily known as the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita. But it is the stories of Krishna's childhood and his later exploits that have provided some of the most important and widespread sources of religious narrative in the Hindu religious landscape. This volume brings together new translations of representative samples of Krishna religious literature from a variety of genres -- classical, popular, regional, sectarian, poetic, literary, and philosophical.

Item description from the seller
Seller Feedback (41,752)
- v***d (109)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSuper fast shipping at very reasonable price, and well-packaged for delivery. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the book (a misprint). But the seller exhibited excellent communication and was very willing to accept a return and replace it with the same book in a similar condition (but without the misprint, of course). Sent out the replacement super fast and included a shipping label for the return. I'm happy with the replacement. This A+ seller definitely won a repeat customer.
