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 play-
rul 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 esca-
pades. 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.
