Krishn Kanhai: Songs of the Cowherd God
These are the sleeve notes from my album Krishn Kanhai, written by Meera Ravi.
Lord Krishna is the most personal of all the Gods in the Hindu pantheon. The eighth incarnation of Maha-Vishnu, His life story is replete with vivid imagery at every stage – as a naughty and lovable child-prince of the tribe of chieftain Nanda, as a handsome young man roaming Nanda’s vast and verdant territory, playing; the king-maker of Dwaraka and the philosopher and prophet of the Bhagavad Gita.
There is a Krishna for every one of us to love and make our own and He inspired some of the most moving poetry of the bhakti movement in India. Here is a collection to kindle your devotion for the Cowherd God – gems fired by the passionate love of the bhakti poets and polished at the well-spring of their genius.

“Music wherever she goes – by Anita Nair”
“There were days when I used to get up at 3 am to practice and then rush around to prepare everybody for office and school”. It is a classic story of a talented woman’s life; juggling many responsibilities, being a wife and mother and holding tight to the artistic side that nurtures her.
