Krishanaleela

AUTHOR’S PREFACE

    Encouraged by the successful launching of the book Ramayana, I took up writing the next book Krishna Leela in easily readable English verses. It briefly tells the story of Lord Krishna and His Leela, based on the book Krishna written by Srila Sri Prabhupada, the Founder Acharya of Hare Krishna movement in the International Society of Krishna Conscience (ISKCON).

    My involvement with poetry-writing, that has been dear to me, is almost for forty years by now – writing poems for children on a variety of topics and for elders on matters religious. I am happy to state that these have generally been well received by poetry-lovers. I am gratified by the encouragement given to me by the various websites...

    It was in the year 1965, my poetry career started. I was travelling in a rainy season of that year, as a lone passenger, in I Class compartment (Old type) from New Delhi to Vijayawada. The moving panorama outside in the ghat section and plains attracted my attention. I wrote the first poem, “A Song of the World” in that running train, which got published in the Souvenir released by the South Indian Cultural Association, Vijayawada.
