Reseña del libro "Radha's Pilgrimage: and other Krishna stories (en Inglés)"
These are a collection of short stories inspired by the love of Krishna. They are imagined by the author and not found in any Puranas. Some characters are from Krishna's life, some are imagined characters who are influenced by Krishna. Some of the stories are set in our age where Krishna still plays a crucial role in people's lives. Krishna's myths are not just in the puranas, belonging to a bygone age. They still play out in our lives today. They inspire us to follow his lead. They encourage us to love, to explore the many relationships the Charmer of Hearts played in his lifetime. Our friend and guide and lover, Lord Krishna, lives amongst us today, plays with us, enchants us, ensnares us, as he has done forever. New myths are lived and written down, some forgotten stories are freshly whispered in the hearers' ears, modern playgrounds replay the perennial games. The stories in this collection are inspired by Lord Krishna and his līla of love. Love for his beloved Radha, for his wife Rukmini, for his friend Sudama, for his brother gopals, for his mother Yashoda, for his son Pradyumna, for his protégé Arjuna, for his subjects, for his enemies and devotees, for all of humanity. The relationships he had with the people during his lifetime are the many relationships we have with our fellowmen. What if we see his presence behind the relationships we have now? Will it transform our friendships, will it light us up with the pure flame of his love? Today, when life seems so much more complicated than the idyllic Brindavan of Krishna, is he still relevant? These stories affirm with delight, "Yes, Krishna is relevant, his guidance can be heard, his touch can be felt, his flute can still enchant, one can melt in his loving embrace, one can forget oneself and find one's self newly-made. Such is the miracle of union with the Divine Beloved."
