Title : Krishnavatara Complete Set (Vol I to Vol VII)Sri Krishna's personality dominated Munshiji's imagination from childhood. He used to hear all about Sri Krishna with breathless adoration. Later, he read about Krishna, and worshipped Him in a hundred temples and held the Gita as Krishna's message to mankind. The Gita became the staff of his life.Munshiji re-told Krishna's life-story imaginatively with brilliant original strokes. He called the work 'Krishnavatara', the Descent of the Lord. The first part, which ends with the death of Kamsa, is named "The Magic Flute". The second part, which ends with Rukmini Haran, is titled "The Wrath of an Emperor". The third part is called "The Five Brothers" and the fourth part is entitled the "Book of Bhima". The fifth part is "The Book of Satyabhama" and the sixth is the "Book of Veda Vyasa", the Master. The seventh part is the "Book of Yudhishthira". Scholarship, piety, and a romantic imagination helped Munshiji weave Sri Krishna's story into a fabric of surpassing beauty and undying charm.
