Krishna – by Shweta Taneja

Evil Rakshasa Kalanemi is back on Earth, this time appearing as Kansa, the tyrant king of Mathura. To vanquish him and his horde of evil monsters, Lord Vishnu comes to Earth in his eighth avatar – Krishna, the defender of dharma. Since his birth, Krishna valiantly fights evil monsters, showing courage and valour. But as he grows up and becomes a councillor of the race of Yadavas, he observes that the real struggle in this age is not with magical monsters but with evil kings and warriors.

Accompany this wise and courageous hero on his journey on Earth as he conquers evil to put mankind back on the path of righteous.

I first came upon these Comic book like novels of the epics of Krishna 4 years ago. The illustrations are delightful and almost take you upon the journey as deeply as if you were watching it play before your eyes. A colorful and playful way to easily learn about this legendary Avatar and the details of his last incarnation. We sure could use a return visit…
