KRISH

Krishna is the most endearing and ennobling character in Indian mythology. He is at once the cO.mmon cowherd engaging the milk-maids in play­rul banter and the supreme intellectual engaged in the exposition of the Gila philosophy.

Krishna has a particular appeal for children because he is one of them as no other divine is· Krishna the boy is mischievous; he is naughty. He has irrepressible energy for innumerable esca­pades. He is no prig; he is no puritan. He has divine powers. But he humanises them and remains a boy. This powerful human element is the secret of Krishna's universal popularity. He is secular even as he is sacred, and so he remains throughout his life. That is why Krishna becomes a Jiving ' presence to all children who have listened to the storics about him.
