Stories of Krishna - The Adventures of a Hindu God
How  can a god that's true blue not be cool? Those unfamiliar with Krishna's romantic tangles may blush at his wild and racy past. From his dark flowing locks to his azure toes, this incarnate of Vishnu came down to Earth for peace, love, and happiness. What he left behind was a trail of tittering hearts, and enough of an impression to inspire this lovely art exhibit showcasing nine paintings from India and Pakistan. Step back into his world circa 5,000 B.C.E. and witness the blue god's birth, his slaying of evil demons, his seduction of Radha, and the fabled Rasalia dance in which an over-extended Krishna multiplies himself to satisfy each starry-eyed gopi. Every beautiful painting is accompanied with an audio narrative and written transcript describing the escapade. Soon enough, you'll understand why they're wild about hare.
