Publisher: Notion Press.
Being a crazy Indian mythology lover I was thrilled to receive this giveaway. But the first thing which came to my mind was - How genuine are the information provided in the book?
Can I rely on them because I dont enjoy reading made up stories. Well this book has won my heart. Truly if you leaf through sacred books like Mahabharata, Bhagavat Gita or even Harivansh , you will not find any information on Radha. Definitely it is very surprising , as we worship Radha Krishna together, we don't have much information about her. Well this book has simplified unknown facts about Radha from Brhamvaivrat Puran Garg Samhita , Geet Govinda and henceforth. So if you have prior knowlege about our mythology this book will be easy to understand as you can fill in the missing link.
The book talks about time, when the supreme power created the universe. How Radha was born ,also the other god and goddess. Their incarnation on earth, Radha's dominating behavior on Krishna, Krishna's departure from Vrindavan toward Mathura, the hundred years of separation and many more finely tuned details.
The book has beautifully put up the separation of Radha Krishna. The pain of realising that you have lost the one you love forever.
