Krishna, Krishna, Krishna!

Laxmi Nair has found Krishna in everything—even Shiva!
Laxmi Nair
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna!
Sometimes I feel that I always knew Krishna even before I heard of him. My mother read the Bhagavatam when she was carrying me. I think the seeds were sown there— the very first impression! She is the one who introduced me to Krishna through beautiful stories of Him with Radha, Meera, Yashoda, Balarama, Poonthanam, and Sudama. My childhood favourites were those of Meera and Sudama.

Growing with Krishna

As I grew, I got to know more about Him through the Mahabharata, where His character intrigued me the most. I was fascinated to know the course of action taken by Him, and I would think of the reasons behind it, never doubting Him one bit but always trying to find the good in it (an eternal believer forever). I then delved into mythology and read about Vishnu and his avatars.
