The Queen and the Avatar
Dominique Wohlschlag
This book is an original and rich meditation on Krishna, his facets and meaning within the Mahabharata, and his deeper spiritual meaning for contemporary readers of all religions or none. Reading carefully Queen Kunti's hymn of praise in the Bhagavata-purana, the author assumes the point of view of a Hindu who is able to draw comparisons with the great religions of the world and make references to Western literature and history. He thus sheds light on the way of devotion, or bhakti-yoga, as it is described in the Bhagavad-gita, and illuminates many central aspects of Hinduism. This work will satisfy both specialised scholars and all those readers who are sensitive to the marvels of Indian myth and epics. It includes a concise summary of the Mahabharata and an extensive glossary of Sanskrit terms.
