Reading Notes: Shri Krishna of Dwarka, Part B

Krishna in Dwarka

     Bibliography. Shri Krishna of Dwarka by C. A. Kincaid. Web Source

     Reading Notes:

     *Balarama revisits Vrindavan. 

     *Krishna defeats Jambavan and marries Jambavati

     *Krishna kills a King who falsely claims to be Vishnu incarnate. 

     *That King's son asks for a boon from Shiva.

     *The boon summons a great flaming being who destroys who it is commanded to unless that person is righteous.

     *Since it was summoned to kill Krishna, it spares Krishna and kills the man who asked the boon of Shiva.

In them, I feel like you can find something from every genre. They contain action, romance, horror (since he fights demons), fantasy, adventure etc. There's a ton of things I could write using one of Krishna's stories as my baseline.  Ten Incarnations of Vishnu      I feel a graphic novel about all ten of Vishnu's incarnated lives could really pull me in and inspire my own story. Vishnu has lived as a fish-man, lion-man, perfect-man, boar, dwarf etc. I'm excited to read more from this source.  Mahabharata      This is an Indian Epic that I ...
