ASHTAMAHISHI THE EIGHT WIVES OF KRISHNA (Paperback)

Krishna, the eternal lover, is
believed to have charmed the heart of every woman he came across and his
marriage with 16,100 women is the stuff of numerous ballads that have
enthralled us over ages. But who amongst them all did Krishna love? Who ruled
his heart and influenced his life?Not one, but there were eight women whom
Krishna married solely on the basis of mutual love and respect. Each of these
wives?the Ashtabharyas?contributed to making Krishna what he was. While their
names figure in the text of the great epic Mahabharata, not much has been
discussed about them. Who are these women and what was that special
?something? in each of them that won Krishna over? What were each of those
relationships like?Radha Viswanath delves deep into the great Hindu epics,
puranas and other ancient texts, weaving nuggets of information with rich
imagination to give us a fascinating picture of Krishna?s life with these
eight extraordinary women.
