Dwarakanatha book 2

Hari Aum.

I would like to say that I have completed the second book of the life of Lord Krishna series and this is now published on Amazon kindle (a paperback version will also be available soon).

This book details the adolescence and early adult life of Lord Krishna. I have called it, 'Dwarakanatha' (one of Krishna's names meaning lord of Dwaraka) as this book describes the founding of a new city called Dwaraka by Krishna- an important phase in His life.

As with the previous book, 'Balakrishna', this book also contains a number of wonderful interactions between Krishna and His devotees including Narada, Uddhava and Muchukunda.

The beautiful story of the marriage between Krishna and Rukmini is also described.

I have been writing these books as a sadhana, and can say that studying the life of Lord Krishna in detail has been a very useful learning experience for me. One thing that amazes me is how relevant the stories in His life are to today, and the positive and uplifting nature of His message to humanity.

For example, Krishna says that human life only is made meaningful to the extent that one is helpful to other people and living beings. What a wonderful, practical message. The world would be a much happier place, in my view, if more people had this approach to life.

Also, in the episode of the brahmin wives (described in 'Balakrishna', book 1), there is a clear message in favour of gender equality. Further, the episode of Rukmini's marriage, highlights clearly that forced marriage is an unacceptable practice (the villains in this story try and make Rukmini marry by force, and Krishna rescues her). On the whole, the events in Lord Krishna's life themselves each contain a message for humanity and would benefit us all if understood in the proper light.

Hope you enjoy the book. As with the previous book, all proceeds will be donated towards the medical work of the Sivananda charitable hospital at the Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh, India.
