Reading Notes, Krishna, Part A


Krishna Playing the Flute for the Flocks.
  • Why would the sky voices tell the evil king who his killer would be?
  • The ancient gods basically invented IVF
  • Why send the seventh child to the womb of another?
  • Snakes are a recurring theme in Hindu mythology
  • The classic baby switcheroo
  • Fuck yeah feminism and Durga
  • Holy men and merchants came to see baby Krishna. Sounds like three wise men/ shepherds visiting baby Jesus
  • Interesting. He's not perfect or a pillar of just behavior. He's actually kind of a rotten kid.
  • Universe in Krishna's mouth - He is the Brahman
  • Choking a tornado
  • There's this idea that kings are somehow greater than normal men
  • Krishna is kind of showy and full of himself for my tastes. I prefer a humbler god. Lol
  • Tests of devotion are weird
