MEDIA REVIEWS:

An extraordinary book. . The quality of the prose, the literary verve could hardly be improved. The puritans will pout and purists pronounce purple pomposities. Let them. There is much pep in the book, that it will leave the fault finders breathless. - Frontline

We love Krishna because we would love to do what he did, but are afraid of doing. These inexplicable aspects of Krishna's character are boldly dilated on in Pavan K Varma's published biography. - Sunday Observer

Varma has done a fair job of piecing the story together. The prose is lyrical, in the style of the Puranas from where he has collected most of the myths about Krishna. With fluid ease quotations from Surdas, Mirabai and other poets who knew Krishna intimately, are woven into the narrative. - India Today
