Product Description
Krishna is considered by many to be the main protagonist of the Mahabharata.
Krishna is the son of Devaki, the princess of Mathura, and Vasudeva, the prince of Shurasena. He takes birth inside a prison-cell and is then transported across the river Yamuna by Vasudeva to the house of Nanda and Yashoda in Vrindavan.
For the first fourteen years of his life, he is fostered at the cowherd settlement of Vrindavan. His half-brother Balarama, with whom he shares a father, is also present with him during this period.
Krishna’s first act of significance is to liberate the city of Mathura from the tyrannical hold of Kamsa. This attracts the ire of Jarasandha the king of Magadha, who chases Krishna and Balarama out of Mathura into the deep west.
The two brothers then found the city of Dwaraka, and build a kingdom around it – named Anarta. Here they unite a number of small warring Vrishni factions.
In the Mahabharata, Krishna – through his friendship with Arjuna – helps the Pandavas regain their kingdom from their cousins, the Kauravas.
This guide will cover everything you need to know about Krishna.

I picked up this bundle with a bit of hesitation, because there is so much content out there about the Mahabharata. But I was pleasantly surprised how well-organized the content is here. You approach each character from multiple angles - and many of the lesser known characters are also represented. Will use this as a reference book for a long time to come. Must read!
I didn't know much about the Mahabharata before I picked up these books. Now I feel like an expert. Definitely going to recommend these to one and all. In our current modern life, I feel it is important to get in touch with your roots.
I really liked the straight-forward, conversational writing style. It is devoid of all religious propaganda; Sharath treats the Mahabharata and its characters as literary treasures. The respect he has for the epic and its people is evident in his writing. I'd heard of Sharath before with his Murder in Amaravati, but this was the first time I took a chance on his work. Initially I was skeptical about the eBooks because I am a print-book reader, the books are compatible with just about any app that opens any document. What's more, you can also print out the PDF if you want. I appreciated that flexibility. Get it without any hesitation!
If you're a fan of the Mahabharata, this is a no-brainer. If you don't like them, you always have the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. As far as I know, no other writer is offering a money back guarantee on any of his books, so that alone makes this worth trying. Go for it!
Murder in Amaravati was the only one of Sharath Komarraju's books I'd read before I picked up this one. I can see that his fiction writing skills help him in writing nonfiction too. He brings a fiction writer's curiosity and imagination to this set. The feeling is infectious!
