Reading Notes: Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories Part A (week 11)



The topic I choose to write is on Krishna and the book is called Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories and from that, I choose to take notes on chapter five “The Manhood of Krishna” from part A. This fifth chapter is just about the manhood of Krishna such as how he kills all the demons who were wreaking havoc on the Earth. He killed a lot of demons such as serpent Kaliya and he also freed Rishi Angira from the curse and after that fought demon Arishta. The fight of demon Arishta was one of the favorite parts of this story. Demon Arishta took the form of a giant bull because of that he looked two to three times bigger than normal bull and he terrorizing everyone near the Gokula with fear so Krishna decided to fight him and the way the fight was depicted really blew my mind because it was action pack.

Such as part where Krishna kills the bull in the novel, “Krishna caught its horns in both hands and with a deft twist rolled the monster over on its back. Putting one foot on its chest and seizing one horn in his hand, he broke it off near the socket. Then using it as a flail, he beat Arishta from head to foot all over its body. In vain the monster bellowed with the pain and strove to free itself. Gradually its bellowings grew feebler and feebler and at last, ceased altogether.” You can just imagine what is happening in that fight with demon Arishta and how Krishna killed him.

I was kind of let down that they didn’t show a fierce fight between Krishna and King Kansa. King Kansa was defeated in just two to three move by Krishna and it was kind of disappointing but I still enjoyed the little fight between Krishna and King Kansa.  

This book was written by C. A. Kincaid, The title of the book is Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories Part A Link to chapter five.

It was chaos on the Earth because Demons were running rampant on the Earth for past hundred years. So Goddess Parvati decides to reincarnate with the mortal body on Earth so she could end the evil. She was foreseen that the Earth was going to be in grave danger in the future. She decided to get born in a small village on Earth where she will wait for right time to come to kill the demon called Mahishasura and when she also decided to get born with no memories of her being Parvati and just normal mortal girl and she did that for a special reason. Mahishasura was the demon king at that time and he was part demon and part bull. He was also a big devotee of God of Creation Brahma. Mahishasura meditated for thousands of years so he could please God of Creation Brahma. His motive for doing that was so that he could gain power and immortality. After such a long penance Lord Brahma was pleased and presented in front of him and asked him for any boon that he desires. Mahishasura asked for ...
