Watch the Nib Dance
"Is there anyone who hasn’t loved or lost a dear one or experienced both? Is there anyone who does not get flashes of memories from childhood every now and then, or just wonder at how the world one read about or saw as sci-fi is now leaping towards reality? Is there anyone who does not feel outraged by the lack of humaneness on display at times? Is there anyone who has not asked this question to themselves, ""Where am I? What am I doing?"" Watch the Nib Dance is an anthology of poems traversing through a range of areas and emotions - nature, society, war, peace, gender issues, law, love, grief, finding oneself, and nostalgia. Poetry is much like dance - you can learn a thousand techniques but when you actually start dancing, it innately flows. That is what happens when you put pen to paper - whatever it is that has left an impression on your senses, soul or conscience, finds its way out. That is where the poetry in this book comes from. It will resonate with some part of you - personal or professional, or just by virtue of being human - for words are powerful enough to stir what lies beneath."

The Love of Krishna
This is the first critical edition in transcription with facing English translation of a medieval Sanskrit text that is known in most parts of India, especially in Bengal. The Krsnakarnāmrta ("Nectar to the Ears of Krishna") is a devotional anthology of stanzas in praise of the youthful Krishna, "the dark blue boy," "Lord of Life," lover of the milkmaids in Indian legend, and an incarnation of the great God Vishnu. Of its importance there can be no doubt: for many devout Indians it is a Book of Common Prayer, whose short and ardent hymns to the Lord Krishna come frequently and familiarly to mind. Frances Wilson here provides a masterly English translation of this moving expression of religi...
Krishna
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.
Krishna & Christ, Volume 2
At the core of most religions lies a transcendent being, someone out of the ordinary that challenges our limited human mind to expand to unknown heights. It is the presence of this being that gives people hope, proof even, that God is real. Through these individuals, God becomes something tangible, experiential and not just an abstract idea. Volume 2 of the Christ & Krishna set highlights and dives deep into the lives of two such extraordinary beings, namely Krishna and Jesus Christ. Using the stories of the Bhagavatam and the Bible, the author draws comparisons and similarities in their lives and teachings, bringing clarity to the nature of God, His relationships with His devotees and His impact on the world. Through the window of these lives, we can clearly see Divine purpose, Divine power and Divine Love in action. Reading this book will inspire real devotion, not to an idea, or an institution, but rather to the essence and core of all spiritual paths: God Himself.
Krishna's Lineage
Forming the final part of the Sanskrit Mahabharata, the Harivamsha's main business is to supply narrative details about the great god Vishnu's avatar Krishna Vasudeva, who has been a comparatively minor character in the previous parts of the Mahabharata, despite having taken centre stage in the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna is born in Mathura (some 85 miles south of present-day Delhi). As an infant he is smuggled out of Mathura for his own safety. He and his brother Baladeva grow up among cowherds in the forest, where between them they perform many miraculous deeds and kill many dangerous demons, before returning to Mathura where they kill the evil King Kamsa and his cronies. Thereafter, Krishna is...
At Play with Krishna
Every year thousands of pilgrims travel to Brindavan, the village where Krishna is said to have lived as a child. There, they witness a series of religious dramas called ras lilas, whose central roles are performed by children. By translating four plays that collectively span this cycle, John Hawley provides a lively perspective on the mythology of Krishna as Hindus experience it today. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Krishna: the Beautiful Legend of God
The Purana is one of the two most important and popular Hindu texts, the other being the Ramayana. It is part of the popular tradition, rather than a literary classic like the Upanishads or the Gita. It tells the story of the god Krishna, the supreme godhead of the Hindus and worshipped by them for over two and a half millennia. The most popular stories about him occur in this, the 10th book, which is the climax of the epic. The stories relate to Krishna's childhood and adolescence in the forests of Vrindavan among the herdspeople, delightful tales which lie behind much of Hindu art, appearing in painting, temple sculpture, drama, dance and song.
